Super Bowl Champion Showdown: Philadelphia Eagles (LII) vs. Kansas City Chiefs (LIV)

I got the idea back during COVID-19 lockdowns about simulating match-ups to settle debates like who would win if these two historical teams were to play one another or settling the debate on who’s the GOAT of a particular sport. So I sat out to create a version of the Formulator that would allow us to settle this once and for all.

It’s finally ready to be released to the world and I thought Super Bowl week was as good as time as ever and with us having two franchises facing off in Super Bowl 57 that have recently won Super Bowls, why not start with them!

So what if the 2017-18 Philadelphia Eagles, Super Bowl LII Champions, played the 2019-2020 Kansas City Chiefs, Super Bowl LIV Champions at a neutral site? We’re about to find out!
