To help break down all the key matchups you're going to want to keep an eye on tonight, NFL Senior Director of Player Engagement Keith Elias joined me this morning on 'Shore Sports Talk' on 94.3ThePoint.

Elias was an All-American Running Back at Lacey Township High School and again at Princeton University leading to a career in the NFL with the New York Giants and Indianapolis Colts in the 1990's.

The NFL MVP is in his third SuperBowl in the last five years and the 27-year-old Patrick Mahomes is looking to help guide the Chiefs to their 3rd title in franchise history tonight.

While the Chiefs come in with a loaded offense, they can be matched and possible defeated by the Eagles.

"When you look at both teams, and you compare them player to player, you get a situation where the Eagles, in my opinion, have a very deep roster and a very balanced team and are strong at every position," Elias said. "Pound for pound, the Eagles have a better team, if you want to say it that way, but Mahomes, Kelce -- some of the weapons on Defense (for KC), they could put the quarterback on the ground, those are essential elements. This Chiefs D-Line -- they put people on the ground, they cause turnovers."

The Eagles and Chiefs bring two high powered, octane offenses into the game tonight and it may very well be a high scoring game, but who wins may depends on who plays defense better late in the game.

"This game is going to be won on who gets the extra possession," Elias said. "Shootout may be a good thing to say, but it's really going to be who gets the extra possession, what defense forces the turnover and I'll be looking at that down the stretch, that second half, that 4th quarter -- who gets the turnover in the 4th quarter."
