Read below for my thoughts on the Super Bowl being played this Sunday Feb. 9. Just be sure to install the FOX Sports app or go to FoxSuper6.com to play.
Let's dive into the questions and my predictions below.
Touchdown, field goal (or free kick), safety, no points scored in 2Q
I think this one could start off as a defensive battle to be honest. These are two top-10 defenses from the regular season, and in three playoff games, the Eagles are allowing just 18.3 points per game. Meanwhile, Kansas City is allowing 21.5 points in two games. There will be some touchdowns scored in this one, but I also think that early on, both teams will look to just put points on the board when they can.
Chiefs or Eagles
I think this is going to be a close game, from beginning to end. Like, too close to call. I could see the Eagles taking a tight lead into halftime, after pounding the ball with Saquon Barkley for the entirety of the first half.
$1 Million Question: What will be the score at halftime?
Yes, I keep up with my Kendrick Lamar. When I look at this list, my thought process is, "What songs can he afford not to play?" Fans won't riot if he doesn't play Savior or Money Trees, even though both are great songs. He has to play Alright, he has to play Swimming Pools, and isn't playing Not Like Us the entire reason he was invited to perform at the Super Bowl?
Patrick Mahomes or Jalen Hurts
One of these quarterbacks is really, really good. A two-time Pro Bowler who has guided his team to two Super Bowl appearances. The other quarterback is in the running to be the best of all time. If Hurts outgains Mahomes through the air in the second half, it's either because K.C. already has a huge lead, the Philly rushing attack has been shut down for the first time this postseason, or maybe Hurts is ascending to superstar status right before our eyes.
$1 Million Question: How many second-half passing yards will he have?
Kareem Hunt, A.J. Brown, Travis Kelce, Saquon Barkley
The Chiefs have to have a plan to stop Barkley in his tracks, right? However, every other team the Eagles faced this season had to have a plan for him as well, and he hasn't been stopped yet. Philly is a running team and there is no way it abandons that come Feb. 9. After that, I don't bet against the Mahomes-Kelce connection. It will show up in some fashion in this game.
Chiefs win by 2 points or more OR Eagles win or lose by 1 point
I have no strong feelings either way. We have the best roster vs. the best quarterback and coach. With that, I'm just gonna have to go with pedigree in this one. The Chiefs know how to win, and more importantly, they know how to win close. So, unless the Eagles can blow out Kansas City, I have to believe Mahomes and Reid will find a way to pull it off.
$1 Million Question: What will the final score be?

Lions Fans React to Injury Update on Sam LaPorta
Lions Fans React to Injury Update on Sam LaPorta originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Detroit Lions are gearing up for another NFL campaign after winning the NFC North title in 2024. Unfortunately, the team just got some unfortunate injury news before the start of the 2025 season. On Thursday, Lions head coach Dan Campbell announced that third-year tight end Sam LaPorta has suffered an undisclosed injury. The injury is not considered "major," but the 24-year-old pass catcher is expected to miss at least a few days with the issue. "LaPorta will be down. It's not major, but he will miss a little bit of time here," Campbell said before the Lions' second joint practice with the Miami Dolphins on Thursday. While LaPorta's injury is not considered serious, some Lions fans are sounding the alarm on what could spell future injury issues for the star TE. "I don't like this," one wrote. "He seems injury prone," another added. "This team is cursed, if it weren't for the injuries last year, they would have won the Super Bowl," another said. "Don't overreact. Just be right for Week 1," another wrote. LaPorta burst onto the NFL scene as an elite tight end weapon in 2023, reeling in 86 catches for 889 yards and 10 touchdowns in his rookie season with the Lions. His record-breaking statistics regressed in Year 2, seeing him collect 60 catches for 726 yards and seven touchdowns. The Lions will face off against the Dolphins in their next preseason matchup on Saturday afternoon. The team will kickoff its regular-season schedule with a matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Sep. 7. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Aug 14, 2025, where it first appeared.

News Analysis: Matthew Stafford's injury raises serious concerns for Rams as season approaches
Rams coach Sean McVay was not talking. Aubrey Pleasant deferred to McVay. And Stetson Bennett was so busy leading a comeback victory, he said he did not notice. No one in the Rams organization could answer these questions: How did Matthew Stafford's scheduled workout on Saturday play out? And was he at the Rams' 23-22 victory over the Chargers at SoFi Stadium? A team spokesman declined to comment, saying McVay would address the situation on Monday. Read more: Rams mum on whether Matthew Stafford worked out: Takeaways from preseason win So the Stafford saga plays on, incrementally worsening as the Sept. 7 opener against the Houston Texans draws near. Stafford, 37, is preparing for his 17th NFL season. Check that: He would be if not for a back issue that has prevented him from taking a single snap or throwing a single pass during a team practice. In late July, when the Rams reported to training camp at Loyola Marymount and Stafford's back issue came to light, the situation was cause for concern. For everyone, it seemed, but McVay. The Rams had a plan, he said. He was not concerned. Stafford would not practice for the first week, but he would be out there with teammates in Week 2. It did not happen. Nearly a month later, it still hasn't. McVay said last week that the Rams were 'trying to get our hands around' the situation. But time is becoming shorter. The Rams are three weeks away from the season opener against the Houston Texans at SoFi Stadium. Read more: Whose house? Rams and Chargers fans debate which team is the 'alphas' of L.A. Jimmy Garoppolo has taken first-team snaps during team workouts and joint practices with the Dallas Cowboys and the New Orleans Saints. Bennett has started preseason games against the Cowboys and the Chargers. Garoppolo led the San Francisco 49ers to a Super Bowl. Bennett is playing with the confidence he displayed while leading Georgia to two national titles. With a physically sound Stafford, the Rams would be regarded as a legitimate Super Bowl contender. With Garoppolo or Bennett... How much time Stafford would need to be ready for the opener is an open question. Three weeks? Two? One? No one questions Stafford's toughness or grit. Or his desire to win another Super Bowl. But for now, his physical condition and availability — and the Rams' prospects this season and beyond — remain in doubt.
