00:00So, let's get it started. Your X Factor for Super Bowl Sunday is who?

00:06It's going to be Devonta Smith for me in the Philadelphia Eagles here, Ben. Simply because

00:13unlike a couple of years ago where he was still very young and nobody really had a understanding

00:20of how he could really change a game, but he had an amazing year a couple of years ago

00:25and he had an amazing Super Bowl, right? Well, this year is totally different because he has

00:30not had a great year. He has struggled with some injuries, he struggled with some drops,

00:36and he doesn't, he looks like a shell of what we saw a couple of years ago. However,

00:41the passing game, we know this is a run first team Philadelphia, the passing game has taken

00:46a back seat this year with Saquon Barkley. They are not going to allow Jalen Hurts and the A.J.

00:54Brown connection, if they're blitzing Hurts, which is the way you beat him, they're not going

00:59to allow him to beat him. I don't think what the linebackers Kansas City has that Dallas Goddard

01:04is going to be all that big of a factor, which leaves one guy, Devonta Smith, who's the only

01:10guy on the field that's going to have an opportunity one-on-one against his defender.

01:15I think he is going to be the key through the air and the X Factor for the Philadelphia Eagles if

01:21they're going to win this game.
