Joe D’Amico’s FREE NFL SUNDAY WINNER (273) Philadelphia Eagles vs. (274) Kansas City Chiefs
Let me start this breakdown by saying I think the oddsmakers are pretty smart here. They know the general public already leans on the Philadelphia Eagles because they whooped the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl. But throw into the mix the Eagles took down the Cowboys last week in their season-opener, while the Chiefs dropped a tough one to the Chargers. They’re putting out a line that looks too good to be true. But I think they’re looking to bear trap you here. I love the Eagles. I think they’re one of the most complete teams in all of football. And let’s face it, they haven’t dropped the game since prior to Christmas. One thing we’ve grown accustomed to is not seeing the Chiefs lose too many games, let alone back-to-back games, which is what they have done dropping the Super Bowl and Week 1 of this season. Last week’s loss was uncharacteristic for the Chiefs, even though they averaged 6.0 yards per play, they had two failed redzone trips, and 10 penalties. This is a game Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, and company has had circled since the schedule came out. Granted, they lost a receiver. But the Eagles also lost one of their anchors on their offensive line. Earlier in this breakdown, I said Philly is one of the most complete teams in all of the NFL. This is true. But one thing they don’t have is Patrick Mahomes. The general public is gonna’ be all over the Eagles here, and the line is going to go up. And as it does, I am waiting patiently to hit the Chiefs strong. I feel they win this game, and make a statement to the NFL. Take Kansas City.
Picks: Kansas City +1.0
