In past years, premium defenses have stuck their CB1 on Kelce as a solution for the rest of the field. Loud mouth CB Richard Sherman will carry that distinction on Super Bowl Sunday. Kelce is 6’5″ and 260 pounds, and runs a 4.66s 40-yard dash. Sherman is 6’3″ and 195 pounds and runs a 4.6 40-yard dash. Size is at a premium for the Chiefs and it will show in the red zone. For the most part, expect Sherman to blanket Kelce save for a few dink and dunks.

The Eagles, on the other hand, won handily on the road last week to punch their playoff ticket, and this team seems determined to ensure it’s not a one-and-out scenario. Both teams will need to rely heavier on the passing attack to stay afloat in this week’s highest scoring slate. The underdog line is looking juicy.
