The Kansas City Chiefs will face the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII today at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The Chiefs will not be wearing their traditional red jerseys in the Super Bowl this year.
Instead, they will be dressed in white jerseys and red shorts. This will be Patrick Mahomes' first playoff game in this jersey color and it will be interesting to see how he performs.
Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are a point underdog in this game. Many believe the Philadelphia Eagles are a better all-around team than the AFC Champions.

However, the impact Patrick Mahomes could have on a game by himself is far too great, which is why the Eagles must be cautious of him. In the AFC Championship Game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Mahomes played with a high ankle-sprain and was able to play well.
Mahomes' ankle is now well-rested and he is close to 100% ahead of the Super Bowl tie against the Eagles. The Chiefs quarterback just won the second MVP award of his career, and he'll be fired up to win his second Super Bowl today.
Patrick Mahomes needs a big performance in Super Bowl LVII
Statistically, Patrick Mahomes might be the best player ever to play the game, and his playoff numbers are off the charts. However, he hasn't played his best football yet in the Super Bowls.
He is 1-1 in the Super Bowl and has thrown two touchdown passes at the expense of four interceptions. Two years ago, Mahomes and the Chiefs were annihilated by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he wouldn't want a repeat of that this year.
The Chiefs quarterback is already an all-time great, but winning his second Super Bowl today will place him among the elite. Mahomes has only played five seasons as the starting quarterback in the NFL, but he has already won the league MVP twice and could win his second Super Bowl MVP in a matter of hours.
This is a big game for his legacy, and hopefully, he'll be able to play his best football on the biggest stage against a very good Eagles team. The over/under for the Eagles vs. Chiefs at Super Bowl LVII is set at 51.0 points and we can expect some fireworks.
