It is not often that the NFL’s top two teams meet in the Super Bowl, but that’s exactly what we’ll have when the Eagles (14-3) battle the Chiefs (14-3) at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
The matchup will feature NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes facing off against the runner-up, Jalen Hurts, in a matchup that features two black quarterbacks for the first time in NFL history.
Mahomes became the third Black quarterback to win the Super Bowl in 2020 and is aiming to become the first Black quarterback in NFL history to win multiple Super Bowls, while Hurts could become the fourth Black quarterback to win the Lombardi Trophy.
With kickoff fast approaching, the NFL expert picks are in, and Philadelphia is the favorite to hoist the Lombardi Trophy.
