The Eagles absolutely dominated the 49ers to punch their ticket to the Super Bowl, while the Chiefs held off the Bengals with a late field goal in the 4th quarter. This is a highly anticipated matchup featuring two young, superstar quarterbacks in Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes. Let's dive into the final pick of the year for the Super Bowl.

Kansas City Chiefs (16-3) vs Philadelphia Eagles (16-3)
The Super Bowl will feature the top seeds from each conference and I think it's rather fitting that Andy Reid will square off against his former team in the Eagles. Patrick Mahomes will be making his third Super Bowl appearance, in what is already in illustrious career, and I have to wonder if his experience in this spot will be the difference maker? We know the stats about Reid being 28-4 coming off a bye and Mahomes is now 10-1 after a divisional round win over the Jags. Looking at the other sideline, Jalen Hurts has been the straw that stirs the drink for the Eagles offensively this season as the team struggled without him for two games near the tail end of the regular season. It's likely the Eagles will run the ball and do it effectively in this game as not only can they rely on Hurts' mobility, but both Miles Sanders and Kenneth Gainwell are more than capable of slicing and dicing a front seven. The Chiefs jump out to an early lead before the Eagles come storming back in the second half, I like the birds here to win their second championship in six years. Pick: Eagles, 30-23.
