With the Super Bowl concluding the NFL postseason on Sunday, Feb. 9, we're making our Super Bowl prediction to close out our NFL playoff bracket predictions.

We made our picks and score predictions for every NFL playoff game from the wild-card round all the way to the Super Bowl at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. And while our original bracket didn't last long, we're going back to our preseason Super Bowl predictions and backing a team familiar with success in February.

Here's a look at the NFL playoff bracket with our predicted winner for Chiefs vs. Eagles.

Chiefs vs. Eagles prediction

Look, I had the Eagles losing to the Rams in the divisional round and the Chiefs losing to the Bills in the conference championships. So, clearly, I have my concerns about both teams taking the field in New Orleans for Super Bowl 59.

But, once again, Kansas City proved inevitable with its third consecutive AFC Championship to set up this rematch with Philadelphia. And I've simply run out of reasons to doubt the champions - especially against a team it bested on this stage already.

On paper, Philadelphia looks like a better team this time around with the No. 1 defense by total yardage and a dynamic rushing attack led by Saquon Barkley, who is busting off 60-yard touchdowns with regularity. But the Eagles' passing attack is still spotty, at best, and QB Jalen Hurts could struggle to contend with Steve Spagnuolo's blitz-happy approach - especially if he isn't at full strength after sustaining a leg injury in the divisional round.

Conversely, Philly's defense denies the deep shot as well as anyone but is perfectly willing to concede short-yardage gains in the passing game. That's where Patrick Mahomes has excelled in the post-Tyreek Hill era, and I fully expect him to take advantage of an Eagles front that has exceeded the sum of its parts against mostly lesser competition.

As I laid out in my Chiefs vs. Eagles prediction, this one will likely come down to the wire. They all do when Kansas City is involved. But, like just about every game this season, I expect it to break the Chiefs' way when it matters most.

Projected score: Chiefs 27, Eagles 23
