Super Bowl 59: Chiefs vs Eagles


Jan 27, 2025 EST

The Kansas City Chiefs are one win away from becoming the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls.

And they are favored to do so.

As of Sunday at 10 p.m. ET, the Chiefs are 1.5-point favorites over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX on DraftKings Sportsbook. They are also -125 on the moneyline (bet $125 to win $100), while those who believe the Eagles will win can get the NFC representative at +105 on the moneyline (bet $100 to win $105).

That spread and the narrow difference between the moneylines indicates Las Vegas believes it will be a close thriller between the two teams that could come down to the final play.

And what a treat that would be for NFL fans.

There will certainly be plenty of star power in New Orleans with Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Chris Jones leading the Chiefs and Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley and A.J. Brown spearheading the effort for the Eagles.

It is also a rematch of Super Bowl LVII from two seasons ago, which came down to the final moments before Kansas City escaped with a 38-35 victory.

Kansas City feels inevitable, but it is going to lose at some point. It was a solid-but unspectacular 15th in the league in points per game this season and was outgained in total yardage in each of its playoff victories over the Houston Texans and Buffalo Bills.

In fact, Houston enjoyed a 336-212 advantage in total yards, while Buffalo held a closer advantage at 374-368.

But Mahomes made the plays at the biggest moments like he always does, and many will surely bet that he can do the same in the Super Bowl. The thought here, though, is that the Eagles have the personnel to lift the Lombardi Trophy.

Barkley was not on the roster the last time these teams met in the Super Bowl, but he is playing at an MVP level for the Eagles. He posted 442 yards and five touchdowns in the team’s three NFC playoff games and can help Philadelphia keep Mahomes on the sideline by controlling the clock and game in New Orleans.

The Eagles are also perfectly suited to pick up the short-yardage plays that proved to be Buffalo’s undoing in Sunday’s AFC Championship Game. The Bills held a one-point lead with the ball in the fourth quarter but were stopped on a quarterback sneak near midfield, which allowed Kansas City to get the ball back and go down and score a go-ahead touchdown.

Yet Philadelphia has Hurts and the famous tush-push to pick up those yards. Of course, it can also turn to Barkley to pick up those first downs, which will be necessary to keep Mahomes and Co. away from the ball in the final minutes.
