In the regular season, the Eagles rated out as a better team than the Chiefs. Philly's point differential was 101 points better. The Eagles ranked in the top six in both offense and defense while KC was 10th in offense and 12th in defense.

Yet here we are with the Chiefs favored over the Eagles in the Super Bowl.

Why is that? Well, the short answer is Patrick Mahomes and coach Andy Reid. Despite Kansas City's good-not-great numbers in the regular season, we know how tough it is to beat the Reid and Mahomes duo in the playoffs. We saw that play out in the AFC Championship Game as the Chiefs edged the Buffalo Bills, 32-29. It was the first time this season that KC scored more than 30 points in a game, and they did it in their biggest game of the season.

That sums up this Chiefs team -- when they need to deliver, they find a way to get it done.
