Super Bowl Lix has arrived. The NFL championship game shows the twice defender champion of the Super Bowl Kansas City Chiefs and the NFC champion Filadelphia Eagles in a rematch of Super LVII, a game that the chiefs won 38-35. No matter which team triumphs, it will not be surprising, and the propagation of Chiefs -1.5, according to the probabilities of Sportsline consensus, indicates the same.
Before what should be an excellent confrontation, let’s visualize five bold predictions for some surprising things that could happen on Super Bowl Sunday.
Barkley runs for more than 120 yards, becomes the first with more than 100 yards by land against the defense of the Steve Spagnuolo bosses in the playoffs
58 Super Bowl have been played so far, and there have only been 11 of them in which a player has run for at least 120 yards. That means that there is only 19% possibilities that it will occur on Sunday when historical trends are taken into account.
However, Saquon Barkley is going to achieve the feat to break the record of yards by land of a single season of the NFL, including the postseason. The champion by land 2024 of the NFL enters the Super Bowl Lix with 2,447 yards by land this season, including the playoffs, which is only 30 yards of Breaking Pro Hall of the fame of the Hall of Hall of Fame Terrell Davis. Los Broncos Super Bowl championship season. Davis was the last player to win the NFL hurried title (2,008 yards in the 1998 regular season) and the Super Bowl in the same season, something that Barkley could achieve on Sunday.
The Chiefs have never allowed a 100 -yard corridor in the postseason under the defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo (since 2019), and have an active streak of 18 games in a row without allowing an individual corridor of 100 yards. Both trends end Sunday. The seven offensive TouchDowns of Barkley 60 or more yards are tied in the largest amount of total 60 or more yards touchdowns in a single season in the history of the NFL with the seven of Devin Hester in 2007, according to the sports research of CBS . Three of the seven of Barkley have happened in the last two games against the Los Angeles Rams and the Washington commanders, including their first play of the NFC championship game that was 60 yards for the scoreboard.
The external races, such as the previous launch game that began the demolition of Washington of Philadelphia in the game of the NFC title, have been the optimal point of Barkley in the postseason. It has entered 344 yards and five touchdowns in 37 hauls (9.3 yards per haul) outside the tacle in this postseason, and the total yardas and touchdown of Barkley in those haules are the most players in a single postseason in the statistics of the Next generation of the NFL ‘Existence since 2016. Barkley will shake the race outside once again in the playoffs for one of the best hurried performances in the history of the Super Bowl.
Eagles doesn’t write a touchdown “Tush Push”
Philadelphia Eagles’s “Tush Push Push” game is essentially unstoppable. Philadelphia is 38 by 47 by converting that game into a first attempt or a touchdown in 2024, including the postseason, and the nine times they failed, they followed that game with another thrust of Tush for a first Down or a touchdown in it Continue, play eight of those times, according to CBS sports research. That includes twice that they were arrested in a penalty of defensive game in a tush thrust formation.
However, the Eagles will not get a touchdown that particular play on Sunday. The center of the Chiefs defensive line with the three-time defensive Tackle all-prion of the first team, Chris Jones and Tershawn Wharton, is an area of ​​strength, and Kansas City technically completed/controversly in a similar play in the AFC championship. The Chiefs remain strong in the middle near the goal line in the Super Bowl Lix.
Mahomes hits both Hopkins, Brown for TouchDowns
The Eagles are the total number 1 defense of the NFL (278.4 total yards per game allowed) and the defense of passes No. 1 (174.2 air yardas per allowed game), so it would be surprising that Mohamses can launch the ball with ease Sunday. Especially for a 32 -year -old Deandre Hopkins and Marquise’s version “Hollywood” Brown, who is clearly not back after undergoing surgery due to a clavicle lesion suffered in the preseason.
Hopkins only has a capture of this postseason, and did not have one in the divisional round, which finished his streak of 184 games to have at least one capture in each game of his career, including the playoffs. Brown has caught only 12 passes for 126 yards receiving in four games played, including postseason. Mohamses will hit both for the TouchDowns in times of setback for each annotation.
Eagles you Dallas Goedert produces the first postseason game with 100 yards receiving
The closed wing of the Eagles, Dallas Goedert, has never had a 100 -yard reception game in the playoffs, and averages 48.6 yards for game reception in 11 race playoff games. However, it will total more than 100 yards receiving at the Super Bowl Lix. In the first confrontation of the Super Bowl against the Chiefs, he caught six of its seven goals to receive 60 yards. The Chiefs have allowed an attempt of 8.8 yards per pass of the NFL for the releases that go to closed wings this season. On Sunday, the supporter of the heads of the Goedert Torches, Nick Bolton, in coverage repeatedly to cross the Mark century to receive yards in the biggest game of his career in the NFL.
Dallas Goedert de Eagles has a weird talent that plans to present if Philadelphia annoys the bosses in the Super Bowl 59

Mohomes does not throw a touchdown to Kelce
Travis Kelce is the playoff leader of all NFL in Catches (174), and is tied with the Bills Hall of Fame, Thurman Thomas, for most playoff games (15) with A TouchDown in the history of the League. He and Mohamses have connected for 18 playoffs touchdowns, as many for any duo of field marshal and passenger foreman in the history of the NFL postseason. However, the two are not linked to a touchdown on Sunday with the Eagles All-Pro Zack Baun supporter, among others, applying blocking coverage in the 35-year closed wing.
