Week 2 Super Bowl Rematch: Eagles Favored at Arrowhead Over Chiefs

Mahomes enters as a rare home underdog with receiver depth reduced by Rashee Rice’s suspension and Xavier Worthy’s shoulder injury.

Overview

  • Philadelphia (1-0) visits Kansas City (0-1) on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET in a reprise of the Eagles’ 40-22 Super Bowl LIX win.
  • Oddsmakers opened with Philadelphia as a slight favorite (around 1.5 points), making Patrick Mahomes a home underdog for only the second time in his career.
  • Rashee Rice will miss a second straight game as he serves a six-game personal-conduct suspension, and rookie Xavier Worthy dislocated his right shoulder in Week 1 and missed practice as he rehabs, leaving his status uncertain.
  • Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter is available after the NFL counted his one-game suspension as served, and Philadelphia’s pass rush sacked Mahomes six times in February’s title game.
  • Mahomes said it will take the Chiefs’ “best football” to beat Philadelphia, as Kansas City seeks to avoid its first 0-2 start since 2014.
