🏈 Hello everyone, but above all to …

The Chiefs of Kansas City, fans of the Eagles of Philadelphia and the NFL

This is there! The Super Bowl weekend is upon us, and Oil chiefs To all the shows of a classic. We are going to dive with predictions. Tyler Sullivan is Ride with Kansas City.

• Sullivan: “There is a lot of stars power in this game, but it really revolves around a person: Patrick Mahomes. He is now confronted with the difficult task to face a defense of the Eagles who ranks n ° 1 throughout the NFL in authorized points (17.9) and yards per authorized match (289.3) when we takes into account the regular season and the post-season production. … Mahomes is only equipped to eliminate this Vic Fangio– Directed defense. During his career, Mahomes is a perfect 8-0 against the defense of Fangio (as a chief coach or defensive coordinator) while his team has an average of 26.9 points per game. “”

Of course, Mahomes is a superstar. It seems inevitable. But therefore too, Saquon Barkley. This is why Garrett Podell is Philadelphia leaning.

• Podell: “In the last two games, Barkley has a rusing of 323 yards while making an average of 7.9 yards per race. He is the only player since the 1970 AFL / NFL merger reaching these two brands in a period of Two matches in the playoffs. Miles Sanders Wounding their cause, rushing on 16 yards in seven races while groping. Barkley proves once again that he is the missing piece of Philadelphia … Take: Eagles 31, chefs 24“”

In the meantime, Willons has Best Paris MVPAnd our staff prepared 59 Paris to do on the Super Bowl 59.

You know the biggest names: the guys who mark the affected, the guys who have made winning games. But I am super excited for the battle in the trenches: Joe Thuney, Creed Humphrey And Trey Smith are exceptional, as Jared Dubin notesAnd this trio faces a defensive line of the Eagles which allowed a game, with Jalen Carter, Nolan Smith, Jordan Davis, Josh Sweat And Milton Williams.

At the other end, Steve Spagnuolo Directs an informed and talented defense facing a leading offense. Kansas City knows that she must limit Barkley. But then add Jalen Hurts, Aj Brown, Devonta Smith and an elite offensive line. I can’t wait to see what Spagnuolo has in its sleeve, and Chris Jones said He has a game “what the F —” is composed.

Very well, it is time for a link emptying. Read a few, read them everyone … Read everything you need to get you to Sunday evening.

If you like one of these super teams. Super bowls are different from anything else, and each appearance must be treated as precious. If you don’t like the team, take a step back and enjoy that we see one or the other of the first Super Bowl at three peat Or An extremely talented team overturns (at least for a year) this very dynasty.

It’s going to be great. Appreciate.

🏈 And not so good morning for …

Lamar Jackson and Eli Manning

For the first time since 1987, the winner of the MVP is not The all-pro quarter of the first team: Josh Allen won the best individual honor in the NFL on Lamar Jackson In one of the races closest to all time.

Let me make a very clear thing: it is not A gunshot in Allen, who has had a truly magnificent season and raised everyone around him. In fact, Allen is the first player to win the MVP without a teammate All-Pro since Peyton Manning In 2008. This section was not supposed to decrease its exceptional year. He joined Thurman Thomas (1991) and OJ Simpson (1973) as the only bills to win the award.

But, guy, I don’t know if it’s the right choice. Here is a list of statistics on which Jackson led the NFL:

• Note of the passer (119.6)
• Yards by attempt (8.8)
• Touched / interception ratio (41: 4)
• Touched rate (8.6%)
• The affected counted (45, tied with Joe Burrow))
• Expected points added by abandonment (0.31)

All these figures are clearly better than its MVP campaign last year, and many are equally or better than its 2019 MVP season. Many are much, much better than those of Allen. The film corresponds to the figures. Oh yeah, and jackson Crows crushed Allen’s invoices at their regular season meeting. (The bills won in the playoffs, but the votes were submitted after week 18.) Even Allen was surprised.

I think it could be the fatigue of voters. I mean, Someone voted Jackson fourth. Fourth?! What are we doing here? Jackson was phenomenal. Absurd. If he can’t win this season, I don’t know what he can win with.

Here are other notable honors:

Likewise, the story of whom doesn’t Making the temple of the fame of professional football was as large as – if not bigger than – the story of whom did it. Here is who is going to Canton this year::

• Jared Allen
• Eric Allen
• Antonio Gates
• Sterling Sharpe

It’s the smallest class since 2005, and the blatant omission East Eli Manning. He will get there – he must, given his two monumental upheavals of the Super Bowl of the Patriots – But it will not be this year. Here is our Lookahead until 2026.

😕 Not so honorable mentions

🏀 Winners of the NBA trade deadline, losers … and what is the next step?

A deadline for trade for all time has passed. Thursday was not enough As dramatic as Wednesday and several of the previous days, but it was sterilewith the greatest case being Other hunter join the head of the eastern conference Riders. Hunter is in the middle of a career year, with an average of 19 points and by pulling 39% out of 3. Cleveland obtained an “A-” Sam Quinn’s trade notesAnd Hunter presents The best acquisitions under the radar of James Herbert.

The day of the trade deadline also brought new agreements that doesn’t arrive: the Warriors, Sun And Heat had an aligned agreement to send Kevin during in Golden State and Jimmy Butler in Phoenix, but, as we know now, Durant did not want to come back to Golden State, and therefore Butler found himself there instead.

Colin Ward-Henningerger has tabuated the winners and the losers of the deadline for exchanges, and a winner is all, the fans. (A loser is my sleep schedule, but it’s ok) after a record of nine all-stars current / old, says Bill Reiter We may never see a commercial deadline like this again.
