Super Bowl 2025 predictions: Who will win between the Chiefs and the Eagles?
BBC columnist Photoe Plecket: A lot of people are talking about Chiefs, but I’ve been against the grains, saying the Eagles. I think it would be a shot.
The way these two teams play, the way these two defenses perform, they will be able to stay tight, especially the Hawks’ defense does not allow explosive games.
But the key will be how the Chief will stop Saquon Barkley. Their top four defenders – Biyan Robinson, Derek Henry, Bucky Irving, Chewba Hubbard – they kept them all under 58 yards.
My head says I want to see the chief make history, my heart says I love the eagles – to give others a chance. This is Saqun’s birthday, so come on, give a gift to the man!
Fraction: Chief 24-27 Eagle
MVP: Saquon Barkley
Rob Stanton, BBC Radio 5 Live NFL Moderator: The chiefs just keep looking for ways to get the job done. How do you bet Patrick Mahomes at this point? I think it will be close, the Hawks will shoot, but the Mahomes found a way to win another Super Bowl at the end.
Fraction: Chief 30-27 Eagle
MVP: Patrick Mahomes
Paul Higham of BBC Sport: These big games always boil down to turnovers, third downfalls and more detailed details – coach Andy Reid and Steve Spagnuolo’s Chiefs are more than anyone else Better prepared for these tightening moments.
That’s why they won all these close matches – of course, Patrick Mahomes. So even with all the talents the Eagles have, I have to stick with the Chief who made history.
Fraction: Chief 27-24 Eagle
MVP: Patrick Mahomes
Ben Collins, BBC Sport: It may not be flashy, but it is not accidental that the Chiefs continue to win the tense game. These teams match so evenly that I hope Patrick Mahomes does enough again.
Fraction: Chief 24-21 Eagle
MVP: Patrick Mahomes
