After a bye week that should allow both teams a renewed freshness, the Eagles and Chiefs are set for a semi-Super Bowl rematch at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on ESPN’s Monday Night Football.
The two teams last met on Feb. 12 in Super Bowl LVII.
Kansas City defeated Philadelphia 38-35 in that matchup to earn their third Lombardi Trophy in franchise history. The Chiefs enter Monday’s matchup on top of the AFC with a 7-2 record after defeating the Miami Dolphins 21-14 in Germany on Nov. 5.
Kansas City is looking to lock up an eighth-straight AFC West title.
Philadelphia is 8-1 and on top of the NFC East after a 33-28 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9.
With kickoff fast approaching, we’re looking at who the NFL experts are picking.
CBS Sports--Eagles
CBS Sports is picking Philadelphia on the road.
The Chiefs are coming off a bye and I have NEVER picked against Andy Reid coming off a bye and I’m probably going to regret this immediately, but I like the Eagles in an upset (Reid is 21-3 in his regular-season career coming off a bye). If anyone can outsmart Reid coming off a bye, it’s Nick Sirianni, who has NEVER lost a regular-season game coming off a bye. Sure, he’s only 2-0, but the Eagles did win both those games by double digits.
