Despite the ending of the Super Bowl last night, the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles played a phenomenal game, led by their signal callers. If you want any example of that, look at this and be amazed.

Joel Embiid, runner-up two years running, has the next-best odds to take home the hardware, but he’s a distant second at +400 odds.
