15. Chiefs vs. Eagles
Ever since Andy Reid was let go by the Philadelphia Eagles before joining the Kansas City Chiefs, this has always seemed like a dream matchup for football fans.

Despite four trips to the NFC Championship along with an appearance in the Super Bowl back in the day, Reid was never able to lead the Eagles to their first Super Bowl title in franchise history.
With the way things have been this year in Philadelphia with all of the major injuries on both sides of the football, it may be a little more difficult for the Eagles to earn a trip to Miami for the Super Bowl, but the Chiefs should love their chances.
Thanks to some help from the New England Patriots falling to the No. 3 seed, Kansas City was able to earn a first-round bye in this year’s playoffs, and should benefit in a big way from the extra rest.
Reid has done an incredible job helping the Chiefs become one of the hottest teams to close out 2019 by wining each of their last six games, and if the chance for the Eagles facing their former head coach wasn’t exciting enough, the Doug Pederson factor would be in play as well.
