Super Bowl LIX Prediction: Chiefs vs Eagles Odds, Expert Picks, Injuries, QB Matchup, Betting Trends & Stats
Louis Riddick joins the Dan Patrick Show to discuss Dalton Kincaid's crucial drop and the controversial fourth down spot during the Bills-Chiefs AFC Championship game.
Super Bow LIX is set and it's a rematch between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles in the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans!
It's not often the two hottest teams in the NFL meet for the Super Bowl, but that's exactly what has happened with the Eagles (15-1 in the last 16) and Chiefs (17-2 in the last 19) representing the NFC and AFC.
Kansas City won the Super Bowl last season over San Francisco 25-22 in OT and beat Philadephia 38-35 the year prior. The Chiefs are attempting to be the first team to three-peat ever. The Chiefs overcame a late third quarter by the Bills (22-21) in the AFC Championship to win 32-29 behind three total touchdowns from Patrick Mahomes (one passing, two rushing).
Philadelphia destroyed its NFC East rival in the Commanders 55-23 in the NFC Championship. The Eagles used its ground-and-pound game and ran all over the Commanders for seven combined rushing touchdowns by Saquon Barkley (3), Jalen Hurts (3), and Will Shipley (1). Philadelphia won the turnover battle 4-0 versus Washington and is up 10-0 in that department this postseason (GB, LAR, WAS).
The turnover battle will likely be a theme as Mahomes has not thrown an interception in eight straight games and the Eagles haven't turned the ball over in the playoffs. However, the storyline for the next two weeks will be Kansas City's chase for a three-peat, or is Saquon Barkley the missing piece for Philadelphia?

Game odds for Eagles vs. Chiefs
The latest odds as of Monday, January 27th courtesy of DraftKings:
Moneyline: Kansas City Chiefs (-125), Philadelphia Eagles (+015)
Spread: Chiefs -1.5 (-110)
Total: 49.5
Kansas City opened -1.5 or -2 at almost every sportsbook and that's unlikely to change as a -3 or +3 would create too many hedging opportunities. The total opened at 49.5 or 50.5, so there should be a small movement closer to gameday, but the market isn't expected to move much.
Kansas City is 4-2 ATS and on the ML with Mahomes in the Super Bowl. However, since 2020, underdogs are 4-0 ATS and 3-1 on the ML in the Super Bowl. Nine of the past 10 winners have covered the spread outside of Bengals versus Rams in 2021 (which I called in Los Angeles).
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Patrick Mahomes to go Under 0.5 Interceptions and to take home the MVP, plus Saquon Barkley to show out in his first-ever Super Bowl:
Mahomes has not thrown an interception for eight straight games and combined for 16 total touchdowns in that span. While the Chiefs offense hasn't been the juggernaut this season, Mahomes helping lead the charge in the turnover battle has been one path to victory.
The Eagles are up 10-0 in turnover differential this postseason but that came against Jordan Love, Matthew Stafford, and rookie Jayden Daniels. Mahomes ranks superior to those three and that was evident in his three-touchdown and zero-interception performance against the Eagles in the Super Bowl. That was arguably Mahomes' best Super Bowl passing performance as he hasn't exactly balled out on the biggest stage with seven passing touchdowns and five interceptions.
I like Mahomes Under 0.5 interceptions at -125 odds and to go Over 35.5 passing attempts as he will have to keep the pressure on Philly in order to keep the lead. I believe the Chiefs win, so I am going Mahomes MVP as well (+105).
One of the best early deals on the board is Saquon Barkley Over 22.5 Rushing Attempts (-102). Barley will be the focal point of the Eagles offense and after exiting early against the Commanders because of a blowout, he will be more than rested and ready for the Chiefs.
Barkley carried the ball 25, 26, and 15 times in the playoffs and ran for a combined 442 yards and five touchdowns. It seems like Barkley is relishing this time with Philadelphia and they are enjoying seeing him flourish with Jalen Hurts and behind the offensive line. I don't see a reason why they would not give Barkley the ball 22-plus times, so I would take his Over 22.5 rushing attempts up to 23.5 as I expect this to close at 24.5 or 25.5.'
Philadelphia Eagles vs. Kansas City Chiefs team stats, betting trends
Kansas City is 9-10 ATS on the season and 11-8 to the Under.
Philadelphia is 13-7 ATS (4th) and 11-9 to the Under.
The Eagles are 3-0 ATS as an underdog (1st) and 2-1 to the Under.
Kansas City is 4-2 ATS and ML with Mahomes in the Super Bowl.
Kansas City has won and covered the last two Super Bowls.
Since 2020, Super Bowl underdogs are 4-0 ATS and 3-1 on the ML.
Nine of the past 10 Super Bowl winners have covered the spread.
Only two teams before the Eagles scored 45-plus points in a conference championship and both lost in the Super Bowl (1990 Bills, 2015 Panthers).
Over the last 15 Super Bowls, the team without rest or a first-round bye in the postseason is 13-2-1 ATS, pointing towards the Eagles.
Travis Kelce had 117 and 19 yards in two playoff games this season.
Xavier Worthy posted 45 and 85 yards in two playoff games.
Kareem Hunt has 108 rushing yards and two touchdowns over the last two games.

Former Cowboys HC shows up at Commanders' first day of minicamp
Former Cowboys HC shows up at Commanders' first day of minicamp Mini-camp, Day 1. That's Jason Garrett in blue. — Ben Standig (@BenStandig) June 10, 2025 The Cowboys weren't the only NFC East team to kick off their minicamp on Tuesday. The division rival Commanders also opened up the mandatory portion of their offseason program, and they hosted a very familiar face as one of their Day 1 guests. Former Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett was in attendance in Ashburn, Va., at the invitation of current Washington head coach Dan Quinn. It's the second straight year that Quinn has welcomed Garrett to town during minicamp, according to Jori Epstein of Yahoo Sports. Quinn "gets the benefit of veteran coaching perspective to check his blind spots," she noted on X, "Garrett gets perspective for his NBC broadcasts. Win-win." Garrett is now over five years removed from his tenure as Cowboys coach, having posted a 87-70 mark in the regular season and playoffs combined in nine-plus seasons in Dallas. He had also been the team's offensive coordinator for four years and played quarterback in the silver and blue for eight more. Yes, his visit with Quinn on Tuesday was much more in keeping with his current job as an NBC analyst, but it still must have been strange for Commanders players to look over during their practice and see the longtime enemy standing there wearing Cowboys colors. Most Washington players, anyway. A few will remember him from their own time in Dallas; Garrett coached Commanders wide receivers Noah Brown and Michael Gallup for multiple seasons, as well as defensive end Dorance Armstrong. And Garrett was a Cowboys teammate of Washington's current linebackers coach, Ken Norton, Jr., for the 1993 season that ended with both men earning a Super Bowl ring.

Cooper DeJean spent time focusing on the nuances of CB positions with Patrick Surtain
Cooper DeJean spent time focusing on the nuances of CB positions with Patrick Surtain Eagles' dynamic defensive back Cooper DeJean has been focusing on the nuances of the cornerback position with NFL Defensive Player of the Year Patrick Surtain this offseason. The Eagles drafted Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean in the first two rounds of last April's NFL draft, and the results were championship worthy. Philadelphia was 2-2 entering the Week 5 bye, but lost one regular-season game after DeJean was inserted into the lineup in place of Avonte Maddox. The Eagles defeated the Chiefs in Super Bowl 59, and finished the year with both Mitchell and DeJean being finalists for the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year award. With James Bradberry and Darius Slay departing, DeJean will have an even more critical role in Vic Fangio's defense this season, and he's already returned to training. DeJean has spent the off-season working out with NFL Defensive Player of the Year Patrick Surtain. Recently, Lucas Evans of the Denver Post wrote a long-form article on Surtain and his dominance at the position. One of the tidbits featured Surtain coaching DeJean on one of the nuances of cornerback positions and the importance of hand placement. Surtain was named the 2024 NFL Defensive Player of the Year and became the first cornerback to win the award since Stephon Gilmore in 2019, while the former was just the second Bronco all-time to win the prize after linebacker Randy Gradishar did so in 1978. Surtain appeared in 16 regular-season games in 2024, recording 45 total tackles (34 solo) and 11 passes defended, including four interceptions, one of which he returned for a 100-yard pick-six in Week 5 versus the Raiders. The cornerback also added a forced fumble and a recovery during the season. DeJean logged 51 tackles (38 solo) as a rookie, including 0.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and three fumble recoveries across 16 regular-season games in 2024. DeJean's biggest and best moment came in Super Bowl LIX against the Chiefs, when he picked off Patrick Mahomes for a 38-yard interception return for a touchdown on his birthday.

Recent grad has life-changing $270,000 bet riding on Oilers, Thunder championships
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. New York sports bettor Drew Hirschman graduated college last month, but that hasn't been on his mind over the past few weeks. Hirschman bet $13 last year on a long-shot five-leg parlay that is now very close to cashing in for more than $270,000. The 24-year-old already hit on the Dodgers to win the World Series (+300), Liberty to win the WNBA Finals (+190) and Eagles to win the Super Bowl (+1700). His two remaining legs are the Thunder to win the NBA Finals (+850) and Oilers to win the Stanley Cup (+850), putting him six wins away — three from each — from a $270,761.40 payday. 3 Meet Drew Hirschman, the college graduate who has a chance at $270k if the Oilers and Thunder win titles. NY Post But now comes the hard part for Hirschman, who received his computer engineering degree from Binghamton University in May: solving the complicated math problem of finding the right way to cash in. 'He's been fielding some offers and also looking at hedge opportunities,' Wager Wire CEO Travis Greiger told The Post. Hirschman said he's not a 'huge' bettor and described this chain of events as 'pure luck.' 'I got home from work and I saw Saquon [Barkley] went to the Eagles and I'm a Giants fan and I was like, 'This guy is too talented, this team is too good, I can't imagine they don't go on a deep run.' So, I did some crafting and came up with this,' Hirschman told The Post. 'I am currently unemployed, looking for jobs. Living with my parents in Suffern (N.Y.). This gives me a little gap where I don't have to feel too pressured.' 3 The Oilers are in a 2-1 hole. AP Hirschman has hedged a bit at Caesars Sportsbook with the help of his father — a 'math guy' who has been financing his hedge combinations. He said he's hedged more than $50,000, which leaves his ceiling just shy of $210,000. 'I definitely emptied my bank accounts,' Hirschman said. 'I'm very lucky to have a good support system. My dad is an actuary, he's a math guy, he knows what he's doing here. We put together (a plan) that) we thought is secure that will give us a good outcome. He's definitely been very helpful with the funds here as well. I'm not going to sit here and pretend I have over $50 grand to splash.' 3 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is trying to lead the Thunder to a title. AP If he wins, the new college graduate has a clear goal of 'don't blow it.' 'Going to max out the 401K, max out the Roth. Add to the emergency fund. Going to have a little fun. Maybe a little vacation. Bring the boys out to dinner. Bring my family out to dinner,' Hirschman said. 'I actually planned a little Vegas trip but not going to get too crazy. I also think property is a cool way to do it.' Hirschman has been offered between $105,000-$115,000 for the ticket, although he's rejected those opportunities to date. He received an intriguing $135,000 offer for the ticket which was nearly the exact value, according to WagerWire's true value calculator, but that offer was pulled before a deal could be pursued. His cash out value was more than $80,000 at DraftKings prior to the Oilers' 6-1 Game 3 loss to the Panthers. Hirschman was flown out by Bleacher Report (@Br_Betting on X) to produce content for the game on social media. 'I feel like a mini-celebrity right now, which is pretty cool,' Hirschman said. 'I'm in the works of getting to Edmonton for Game 5 and going to do a little North American tour.' Betting on the NBA? The Oilers' Game 3 loss, which put them in a 2-1 series deficit, was a tough pill to swallow for both this bettor and the team. Edmonton dropped from -105 to +205 odds to win the Stanley Cup after getting smashed, while the Thunder are massive -525 NBA Finals favorite entering Wednesday's Game 3 with that series even at a game apiece. Hirschman is still a winner here regardless of the series' winners thanks to some math work, but he is still willing to sell the ticket. With the Game 3 loss, the ticket is worth $72,203 according to the true value calculator. Why Trust New York Post Betting Erich Richter is a brazilian jiu-jitsu blue belt but he has a black belt in MMA betting. During the football season he's showcased massive profits at The Post in the player prop market the last two seasons. While constantly betting long shots, his return on investment is 30.15 percent since 2022.
