Super Bowl LIX betting tips: Chiefs to land historic three-peat

Independent09-02-2025

Super Bow betting tips
The Kansas City Chiefs will face the Philadelphia Eagles in the 59th Super Bowl on Sunday night, with the Chiefs looking to land a historic 'three-peat' of titles in the biggest match in the sport.
It is the fifth time in the last six years that the Chiefs have reached the Super Bowl, they've already won three of those and they beat the Eagles in 2023 – triumphing 38-35 in a thriller at Super Bowl 57.
In 2025, superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes once again played his part as his side earned a spectacular 32-29 win over the Bills in the AFC Championship game, making the Chiefs the first back-to-back champions in history to return to the Super Bowl.
And two years on from the narrow win that got the Chiefs their 2023 title, they will once again face the Eagles as they look to cement their NFL dynasty.
The Eagles earned a convincing 55-23 win over the Washington Commanders in an impressive performance in the NFC Championship game, though NFL betting sites have them as slight underdogs at 1/1 compared to the 5/6 moneyline for the Chiefs.
The Chiefs only lost two matches this season on their way to New Orleans – with one coming as coach Andy Reid decided to rest Mahomes and other starters in the final game of the regular season against the Denver Broncos as the number one seed was already secured – and their big-game experience, combined with Mahomes' star quality, makes them difficult to wager against.
Nevertheless, the form of both sides is enough to give fans plenty of confidence. The Eagles themselves have only lost three times this season, and are led by the duo of quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley – who finished just 100 yards short of the NFL record for rushing yards (2,005) in the regular season.
Chiefs to land historic 'three-peat'
As mentioned above, the Chiefs' recent form means its difficult to see them losing on Sunday.
Earlier on in the season, the Super Bowl holders were a little more unconvincing, scraping some improbable wins, but their late-season and play-off form has been altogether more impressive.
In attack, while they ranked in 12th for points per game and 19th in yards per pass, few will wager against Mahomes and coach Andy Reid coming up with some moments of magic when the stakes are highest, as they did in 2023 against the Eagles.
In addition, unlike in previous years, it's been the Chiefs' defence that has arguably been their most impressive outlet, having ranked in the top 10 for opponent's points per game and points per play, as well as yards per game and red-zone touchdown percentage.
With the Eagles attack certainly the most fearsome feature of their team, if the Chiefs can keep Hurts and Barkley quiet, then they should earn a hattrick of Super Bowl wins – something that betting sites agree with, offering odds around 5/6 for the Chiefs to win.
Super Bowl LIX bet builder: Mahomes, Kelce and Barkley to star
Mahomes and Barkley are widely tipped to be the stars of Super Bowl LIX, with both having been their team's main men in the regular season and postseason (alongside Hurts for the Eagles, in Barkley's case). To that end, it might offer good value to create a bet builder with the game's biggest names.
While Mahomes has not quite recreated the superb form of previous regular seasons or playoffs this year, his Super Bowl performances speak for themselves, and he has consistently proved himself as the man for the big occasion, with his only Super Bowl loss coming against Tom Brady.
While Mahomes has averaged just 211 passing yards per game this postseason, he has averaged 267.8 passing yards over his four Super Bowl starts, and threw 245 yards in the win over the Bills, so the first part of our bet builder sees a wager on him to throw 250+ passing yards, which is 20/27 with bet365.
Moving on to Mahomes' Chiefs teammate Travis Kelce, the Ohio native might have experienced a slightly underwhelming regular season, but he remains Mahomes' go-to choice as receiver. If the quarterback is to throw 250 yards, Kelce will likely play a key part in that.
Kelce has the second-most receptions on the Chiefs in the postseason, with nine, and while he only earned 19 yards against the Bills, his eight receptions on Christmas Day and seven in the Divisional Round win prove that he remains one of the key men for the Chiefs attack, so a wager on 6+ receptions (at 20/33) forms part of our bet builder.
Finally, turning back to the Eagles' star man, Barkley has recorded 25 or more rushing attempts in four of his last five games, with the heavy win over the Commanders meaning he was allowed to rest somewhat.
Expected to be the main man in the Eagles attack, it should offer decent value to add him into our bet builder, with a price of 10/21 for 20+ rushing attempts giving us a final bet builder value of 3/1.
Please gamble responsibly
When having a bet, it's vital to practice responsible gambling.
Betting can be addictive and it's important to stay in control of your betting. Never treat gambling as a way to make money, never bet more than you can afford and when the fun stops, stop.
Gambling sites offer punters tools, like deposit limits, profit and loss trackers and self exclusion options, to help them stay in control.
But if you ever feel like you need help or advice on gambling addiction, don't hesitate to contact one of the charities or organisations below.

Disgraced NFL star Greg Hardy slams 'rumors' after shocking arrest for allegedly assaulting family member

Disgraced former NFL star and UFC fighter Greg Hardy is calling for privacy after his latest domestic violence arrest in Texas. On Tuesday, the 36-year-old posted video of himself at a trampoline park with a woman and two young children, presumed to be Hardy's partner, son and daughter. Hardy is seen kissing the woman in the video while the smiling children are playing on the trampoline. 'Please stop spreading what these chaos machines post, they don't know any facts then fuel the fire that effects (sic) my kids and my wife,' he wrote. 'Things get emotional but has never and will never be what you clowns are trying to spread. I ask with all my heart please, My family and I are all perfectly fine.' Hardy ended the post: 'Please stop spreading lies and rumors and give our family the time and space to work through it all in private.' Although he refers to her as his 'wife,' it's unclear if Hardy and the woman are actually married. Daily Mail has reached out to the Richardson (Texas) Police Department for further information and an incident report. Last week, the department reported Hardy allegedly put his hands on his partner after she accused him of infidelity. The one-time Dallas Cowboys defensive end is accused of pushing the woman and putting his hands around her neck. Police also reported scratches and redness on her body they believed to be 'consistent with a physical altercation,' according to police documents obtained by TMZ. Tai Tuivasa of Australia (top) takes down Greg Hardy in the first round in their heavyweight bout during UFC 264: Poirier v McGregor 3 at T-Mobile Arena on July 10, 2021 in Las Vegas Hardy admitted to police he was involved in a dispute with his partner, but claimed he simply moved her out of his way. He was arrested on a charge of 'assault causing bodily injury family member.' Hardy was infamously arrested on domestic violence allegations in May of 2014 when he was accused of assaulting his then-girlfriend in Charlotte during his time with the Carolina Panthers. As the woman told Charlotte Mecklenburg Police, Hardy threw her down on a sofa that was covered in 'assault rifles and/or shotguns.' Hardy was found guilty of assault and communicating threats. He sentenced him to 18 months' probation, but appealed the decision, requesting a jury trial. When the accuser did not show in court, prosecutors dropped the charges. The prosecutors later claimed to have received 'reliable information' the two sides reached a settlement. Hardy was ultimately suspended 10 games, but that ban was then reduced to four games. He went on to sign with the Cowboys before embarking on a combat career in 2016. In total he has 13 MMA fights and four boxing bouts, although he's failed to distinguish himself in either arena.

Fanatics Fest will have $200 million of Michael Jordan, LeBron James memorabilia on display in NYC

Start spreading the sports-nerd news: Fanatics Fest is returning to New York City this June, and it's not showing up empty-handed. The three-day mega-convention will include a showstopping exhibition called the "Museum of Greatness," a $200 million pop-up sports shrine filled with ultra-rare memorabilia from athletic legends like Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Tom Brady and more. Running June 20–22 at the Javits Center, this year's Fanatics Fest is taking over Manhattan's West Side with even more star power and collectibles than its debut last summer, which drew more than 70,000 attendees. But the main event this time is a 10,500-square-foot museum packed with iconic gear, jaw-dropping trading cards and one-of-a-kind treasures collectors thought they'd never see in person. Among the crown jewels: LeBron's $10 million Ultimate Rookie Logoman card, MJ's 'Last Dance' jersey from the 1998 NBA Finals and a one-of-a-kind Fleer Metal Gem Masters card valued at $4.5 million. You'll also find Kobe Bryant's NBA Finals jersey, Ohtani's 2024 All-Star uniform and more than 30 Tom Brady cards (some featuring game-worn Super Bowl fabric, no big deal). Organizers say the Museum of Greatness will have over 20 themed zones—from 'GOATs' to 'Rising Stars'—highlighting players across eras and sports. It's basically the Louvre for collectors, if the Mona Lisa wore cleats. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Topps (@topps) But this isn't just for hardcore hobbyists. With over 500 athletes, celebs, and creators appearing throughout the weekend, the fest doubles as a who's-who of sports culture. Expect autograph sessions, live panels, merch drops, and interactive brand activations from leagues like the NFL, NBA, MLB and WWE. And yes, security will be tighter than a Knicks playoff schedule. With millions on display—including Babe Ruth and Messi memorabilia—round-the-clock surveillance is a given.

Kansas City Chiefs lose key member of Super Bowl-winning team

The Kansas City Chiefs have lost an important member of their team as they won multiple Super Bowls in the past few seasons. Andy Hill, an assistant special teams coach, has announced his retirement from coaching. The team released a statement thanking Hill for his years of service, with Hill responding in a statement of his own. 'Thank you @Chiefs - Coach Andy Reid and Dave Toub and the wonderful coaches and players that I was honored to be a small part of such a class organization-Top to bottom the best in the NFL! Our family says THANK YOU!,' Hill posted. Hill is a member of the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame after spending multiple decades in the coaching business. He began as a graduate assistant at SMU in the spring of 1992 before leaving for Hutchinson Community College that fall. After eventually becoming the head coach at Hutchinson, Hill made the jump to the University of Missouri - where he's stay for nearly two-and-a-half decades. Hill served in various roles with the Tigers from 1996-2020. That included wide receivers coach, co-offensive coordinator, associate head coach, quarterbacks coach, and special teams coordinator. He eventually left for his final coaching job with the Chiefs for the 2020 season. In Super Bowl LVII, kicker Harrison Butker knocked through a 27-yard field goal to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35. The following season, special teams played a key role again as the Chiefs beat the 49ers in overtime.
