BBQ vs. Cheesesteaks: Super Bowl LVII running thread

My tingle - which has been terrible all year - says either KC wins in a close game, or the Eagles win in a rout.

Interesting read.

As someone who watches a lot of rugby (not rugby league), I’m always wondering how certain players in the NFL would do switching codes, and vice versa.

 

I'm not as tuned into the Chiefs injury situation/status as others - but I know they have the edge in coaching and quarterback - and I also have to think the Eagles might be a tad overrated - Rodgers was the best QB the beat all year, and gave up 33 points in the win. They drew the AFC South as an out-of-conference opponent - the worst division in the league, and the NFC North (third best in the NFC) as their intraconference opponent. Oddly enough, the Chiefs also faced the AFC South as their intraconference opponent.
I'd pick the Over and the Chiefs.

 

If Hurts was healthy, I'd take the Eagles and give the points in a heartbeat (and I bet the spread would be more like Philly minus 4). But he's obviously not throwing like he's healthy, so I am reluctant to pick the Eagles. However, I am equally reluctant to bet against a team with the league's best offensive line. I am also leery of Kansas City's penchant for self-destructive plays when otherwise they seem to be sitting pretty. If forced to the wall, I'd bet the Eagles, but not enough money to make it worth anyone's while.

 

Jerry Green's streak of covering Super Bowls is ending.

The man who covered every Super Bowl: Jerry Green and the end of an epic run

 

Is the list at zero now?

 

If the Eagles don't try to get cute and match KC big play big play they'll be fine. Run, run and run again and then tee off on Mahomes when he gets impatient and wants to throw deep every down.

Back in the day, the every Super Bowl guys had a dinner. Rozelle would attend when he was commish, at least he did in the later '80s.

 

Youngest guy covering Super Bowl I was maybe 25?

For someone from that group to make it to the next 56 is pretty damn good.
