The Kansas City Chiefs got here on the back of their defense, and despite possessing a ton of talent on the other side of the ball haven't quite found the recipe for success even after a few months of play.
Kansas City has played to the Under six times in its last eight games as a result, something I like to continue on Sunday.
We laid out the figures above, but this Eagles defense is incredibly hard to score on -- dominating against the pass with the third-best EPA per dropback from Week 16 into the postseason.
Both teams like to play slow and methodical on offense, and have leaned heavily on their defenses to get to this point. I'm predicting we see a slow, low-scoring Super Bowl. That won't be the most fun to watch, but it should make us some money.
