If the Eagles do win, then it's probably going to be by a close score. Don't really see them blowing out the Chiefs unless their DLine can do a good job at pressuring Mahomes all game and the Eagles get ahead early. The thing the Eagles want to avoid is what they have done a couple of times this season, which was get a lead in the first half and then have their offense stall in the 2nd half. Mahomes is one of those QBs in the NFL who teams don't want to get to comfortable with a lead against, because he is capable of getting his team right back into the game. Eagles will have to play for a complete 4th quarter on both sides of the ball.
And if the Chiefs can get a big lead on the Eagles then it will force Hurts to play from behind. He didn't have to do a lot of throwing in the NFC Championship game due to the 49ers losing their QB and not being able to sustain an offense. The Eagles defense is good, but Mahomes and Andy Reid's play calling is very capable of picking them apart and moving the ball at will against them, if he can get protection from his OL.
