Why the Eagles can cover
The Eagles are No. 3 in the NFL in points per game (28.0), and Philadelphia leads the league in scoring points on more than 48% of offensive possessions. The Eagles are also No. 2 in the league in points per drive (2.61) and sit atop the sport with 210 first downs. Part of that strength comes as a result of league-leading marks in third down efficiency (50.0%) and fourth down efficiency (76.5%), and Philadelphia's short-yardage offense is dynamic.
The Eagles are in the top five in total yards per game (376.8) and yards per possession (36.5). Quarterback Jalen Hurts is one of the game's best and most valuable players, generating 22 total touchdowns and more than 2,600 yards this season. Hurts is the best short-yardage rusher in the league at the position and has a stellar QBR (66.0) to go along with a 97.0 passer rating. See which team to pick here .

Kansas City's offense, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce , has an established track record of excellence.
