“It’s great because I actually have a condition that … and I don’t usually have one because I’m everywhere,” Kearney told Fox News Digital. “The one bet I’m telling everyone is that Total is sitting at 50.5 (points). A lot has been made about the offenses and the offensive line for the Eagles and Jalen Hurts and he’s just so mobile and when you Offensive got line that’s the best in the business and then you’ve got a quarterback that’s accurate and can run ad oh by the way, you’ve got arms down the field that can catch it. You’re the one that stops this offense ?
“This game is going to be won in the trenches and I think it’s going to come down to a low-scoring game. So I say, just to say, take the real X-factor with the underdogs. I , it’s the fact that Carl Schafers is the head referee of the game. He’s worked like four or five Super Bowls. He officiated the Chiefs’ Super Bowl two years ago in Tampa. But his crew has led the league in consecutive flags. Leads, penalties, penalty yards. His crew averages nearly 16 penalties per game, and that’s 1.5 times more than the average crew.

“So, he’s leading the charge for this Super Bowl and along with the defense which are both great, the offense is great, of course. patrick mahomes – Who knows he might be limited, the Chiefs put up 23 in that AFC Championship game in which he was making his way through it. But being the X-Factor Carl Schaffers, I think I can feel confident that a lot of those years can go away.”

“I know a lot of people want to make a big case for the Eagles and they’re great. They are. … But this is the Chiefs’ third Super Bowl appearance in four years,” Kearney said. “And I think to be able to have that experience, to be in a place to deal with all the pomp and circumstance that comes with a media day, and all those endorphins and energy and emotion and everything Learning how to improve revolves around the Super Bowl, I think that’s a big edge that was there before. Not saying this roster is exactly the same one that’s already here, but when you have There’s a lot of guys that have come back and been through it already… I think it’s a big plus for the Chiefs.

“Plus, Patrick Mahomes is the best player in this league and he just comes through on one leg and you’re like, ‘Holy cow, he just limped his way to first down. Passer penalty.’ I mean, he just kind of sums it up like, oh my god, you keep going. So, I think the magic is with the Chiefs. That’s what I feel in my heart. I’m also a huge Kansas City I am a big fan, so at the same time I hope that it is my team that holds the Lombardy trophy.”
