I believe the map that GC posted here was meant to signify either the home state or the location of the university each Super Bowl starting QB hailed from, laffite.

(...and so, with Brady being born a California boy in San Mateo and/or his college football career having taken place at the University of Michigan, this would probably be why you don't see Florida being represented on that map)

These two teams are so evenly matched and in many ways mirror each other--and such as having two very mobile QBs who can throw accurately, and very tough defenses--that I think the final outcome will boil down to three factors: How well their Special Teams play, the number of penalties called against each team, and the turnover counts.

(...oh, AND of course the KEY during EVERY football game, how well their offensive line performs)

I’m with Laffite here, Eagles by 10. But as Dargo pointed out, penalties and turnovers and the line of scrimmage are key factors. Penalties always seem suspect to me. Plus, they aren’t reviewable.

The Eagles and the Chiefs are both on my extensive list of 'don't really care about' teams, so I don't really care who wins
this one, though I guess I lean a little toward the Eagles. So I won't be on pins and needles as I would be if one of my favorite
or hated teams were playing. I will just enjoy the game calmly and snack on my large cheese pizza.
