Super Bowl LIX is here! This season it's a match between a team looking for payback and another on a quest for domination and to make history.
The Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs will kick off at the SuperDome in New Orleans. Before then, we discussed this one in great detail and watched (and rewatched) the hype video of all hype videos!
We're looking for a wall to run through after this!

We've all played this game out in our minds (or on PlayStation and Xbox). We've broken the two teams down from every angle.
You had to know this was coming. Here are a handful of game day predictions, our last handful of game day predictions for the season.
The Eagles will score more touchdowns through the air than on the ground.
Philadelphia's passing game this season has been a rollercoaster. Despite long droughts of aerial showcase, Jalen Hurts has found an occasional rhythm with A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert.
The regular season ended with more of a balanced attack and nearly identical stats through the air (3,517 yards passing, 24 TDs) and on the ground (3,048 yards rushing 29 TDs). Most of Philly's scores have come on the ground during the postseason (3 passing TDs vs. 10 rushing TDs), but that will change come Super Bowl Sunday.
Weather won't be a factor. We're in a dome. Hurts will enjoy perfect conditions and rely heavily on the NFL's top WR duo. Expect to see DeVonta Smith shine in his home state with a touchdown. A.J. Brown will add another because he's obviously always open.
Darius Slay will grab an interception in what might be his final game with the Eagles.
In Patrick Mahomes' first 10 games this season, he threw 11 interceptions. Since then, he hasn't thrown any. What's even more impressive is, that in his last nine postseason matchups, he has only thrown one.
That will change on Sunday.
Vic Fangio's defense is just too good. They've played one of the best defensive seasons in recent memory, and they will force a turnover on Super Bowl Sunday. Big Play Slay will be the recipient in what could be his last game with the Eagles.
You didn't expect him to go out without putting on a show, did you?
Saquon Barkley will rush for 200 yards or more.
Nothing will come easy for the Eagles' running game on Super Bowl Sunday. Chris Jones will have a lot to do with that. The Eagles' offensive line will need to be at its best. We expect nothing less.
Barkley needs just 30 more yards to secure the NFL record for most yards in a full season (regular and postseason). Why stop at 30? He has averaged 128.7 yards per game and hasn't rushed for less than 118 yards in his last three matchups.
Here's the thing though. The Chiefs gave up 148 rushing yards to the Houston Texans and another 147 yards to the Bills. Saquon Barkley is better than every running back K.C. has faced this season,
Super Bowl Sunday is Cooper DeJean and Saquon's birthday and we know what they'll wish for when they blow out the candles. What better way to celebrate than with a massive finale?
The Eagles will run some variation of the 'Philly Special', and Jalen Hurts scores a TD as a receiver.
It's been seven years since the Eagles created and ran their most famous trick play in Super Bowl history. Lucky number seven... Then, Nick Foles was named an honorary team captain for the NFC Championship Game just a few months after retiring as an Eagle. Things seem to be aligning for an Eagles victory.
The 'Philly Special' is often imitated and never duplicated, and Philly will run some variation of the play.
Yes, we said it!, Jalen Hurts will score in the Super Bowl as a receiver. And, the crowd goes wild!
The Eagles win Super Bowl LIX & Jalen Hurts takes home MVP honors.
A three-peat would be special to Kansas City fans, but as the bearer of bad news, it's not going to happen.
The Eagles have been the better team all season. The offense has huge playmakers and the defense has been unstoppable. This team is different than the one the Chiefs played two seasons ago, and Kansas City isn't as prepared as some believe they are to stop them.
Philly wins this game and the man everyone has been doubting wins the game's MVP trophy. Jalen Hurts deserves recognition, and on Sunday, he finally gets his moment. Philly will win this Super Bowl.
