Betting the Kansas City Chiefs (17-2 SU, 9-10 ATS, 8-11 o/u)
Just one game away from making history as the first team to win three straight Super Bowls, the Chiefs are as motivated as ever to get the job done. With ample experience playing on the biggest stage, don’t expect to see the Chiefs wilt under the pressure of the moment.
While they’ve been borderline unbeatable throughout the 2024 season, the Chiefs are certainly not without their weaknesses. Having struggled to recapture their explosive offensive ability that propelled them to previous Super Bowl victories, the Chiefs have been mediocre offensively. Having only exceeded 30+ points in a contest once this season (coming in last week’s victory over the Buffalo Bills) they may have their hands full trying to go shot-for-shot with the powerhouse Eagles offence.
This has been encapsulated by their 2024 betting record, sporting a stellar win/loss ratio, but a weak record against the spread, with the majority of their matchups falling under the projected point total.
Amidst their lacklustre offence, the Chiefs have proven time and time again that they always have a few tricks up their sleeves. With head coach Andy Reid looking to lead his team to yet another championship season, the Chiefs will look to establish themselves as the most dominant force in NFL history with a historic performance in Super Bowl LIX.
Betting the Philadelphia Eagles (17-3 SU, 13-7 ATS, 9-11 o/u)
Entering into Super Bowl LIX with a chance to not only get their hands on the Lombardi Trophy, but earn redemption in the process, there’s never been a bigger game for the Eagles. After coming up just short against the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII, then flaming out down the stretch of the 2023 season, the Eagles have been on a mission this year to finally prove that they’ve got what it takes to be champions.
Having cruised through the NFC playoffs with several dominant victories up to this point, the Eagles have seemingly gotten better week after week. Sporting one of the most dangerous offences in recent memory, the Eagles will have no problem moving the ball downfield against the Chiefs.
They say good teams win, but great teams cover, and that’s been the case for the Eagles in 2024. With a 58.8% cover rate as a favourite this year, 65% overall, the Eagles have lived up to the expectations set by oddsmakers this season. As a true moneymaker for bettors who backed them this season, Philly will look to continue its winning ways into the biggest game of the year.
While the odds are currently stacked against them, the Eagles will look to show no Brotherly Love to the Chiefs as they aim to prevent them from completing the three-peat, and instead put themselves on top of the football world.
Key Injuries
Entering into Super Bowl LIX, the Chiefs are for the most part healthy. With no injury designations slated for them heading into Super Bowl Sunday, the Chiefs will be at full strength in this season finale. It can be noted that WR Skyy Moore who has been on injured reserve since Week 7, was a limited participant at practice this week, indicating he may be able to suit up for KC in the big game.
For the Eagles, they have a few players with injury designations entering into Super Bowl Sunday, but nothing overly concerning. While DT Jalen Carter is battling through an illness, and WR DeVonta Smith is nursing a minor hamstring injury, the Eagles saw participation from DE Brandon Graham, TE C.J. Uzumah, and WR Britain Convey this week as they aim to return from injured reserve for the Super Bowl.
Super Bowl Betting Trends
- The favourite in the Super Bowl has won 63.7% of the time, but since Super Bowl XLVI, only four favourites have won the big game, giving a recency bias to the underdog as they’ve seemingly bucked the trend. The Eagles are small underdogs heading into Super Bowl LIX.
- Not allowing the regular season to play a factor in the Super Bowl, the team with the worse regular season record has won the big game in 14 of the past 19 Super Bowls (two games both teams had even records). The Chiefs had the better regular season record at 15-2 to the Eagles’ 14-3.
- They say “defence wins championships” and this has played out in recent Super Bowl history as the team that allowed less points per game during the regular season has won the big game in eight of the last nine Super Bowls (the Eagles allowed the least amount of points against in the NFL this regular season).
- Inversely, regular season offensive success hasn’t translated to Super Bowl success, as the team that averaged less total yards per game has won the Super Bowl in two of the last 11 matchups (the Chiefs averaged 42.6 less yards than the Eagles in 2024).
NFL Player Prop Trends
- In his four Super Bowl appearances, Patrick Mahomes has averaged 267.8 passing yards. His line is currently set at 251.5 passing yards (-110), a mark he exceeded in three of his four Super Bowl outings.
- The other half of the Chiefs’ dynamic offensive duo, tight end Travis Kelce, has had no trouble making an impact on the game. Having averaged 9.3 receptions in his four Super Bowl appearances, he’s a great bet to go for over 6.5 receptions (+125) against the Eagles, a mark he’s hit twice.
- Amidst a potential OPOY season, Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has been hitting the end zone repeatedly in 2024. Having scored 2+ touchdowns in three of his last five games played (back-to-back in the postseason) he’s currently listed at +240 to score two touchdowns in the Super Bowl.
- Having been red hot since returning from injury, Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert has been a dependable target in the Eagles passing game. With his receiving yards line set at 52.5 yards, he’s exceeded that mark in three of his last four outings (-110)
Saquon Barkley 2+ Touchdowns Scored
Chiefs vs. Eagles Predictions
- Even though picking against the Chiefs has truly felt like gambling against the devil this season, bank on the underdog Eagles to exorcise these demons as they emerge as Super Bowl LIX champions. With recent trends against them, the biggest indicator of all working against KC is the fact that no team in NFL history has ever won three Super Bowls in a row. Additionally, nobody who followed the NFL this season can say that the Chiefs are the better team in this championship game. The Eagles have had stellar showings against elite competition, while KC has largely eked out wins against premium opponents. At plus money, hammer the Eagles to go the distance, claiming the Lombardi Trophy, and capping off the 2024 season with a big win to your bankroll.
- This year, both the Chiefs and Eagles have been a part of several low-scoring tilts, indicating your best bet resides with the under when betting the point total. While the Eagles have had a few battles that have resulted in a plethora of points scored, for the most part the scoreboard has remained low in their games played. This can also be applied to the Chiefs, who have only had five games (regular season and postseason) exceed 48.5 total points this year. Expect a low-scoring, competitive affair between these squads as the under hits in Super Bowl LIX.
