It's Wednesday of Super Bowl week which means it's time for First Take to debate if the Chiefs or Eagles would be bigger failures if they lose Sunday night's game. Chris "Mad Dog" Russo was ready with an answer.

"The Eagles, if they lose this game after they lost to the Chiefs two years ago and they brought Barkley in, that's two in three years with that fanbase, there'd be some hell to pay," Russo said. "I think this is a big game for the Eagles. If they lose this game there's going to be a lot of people in Philadelphia who thought this was not a successful season. Nobody in Kansas City is going to think that."
