Super Bowl LIX Betting Pick and Prediction for 02/09/2025

 

All attention will be directed towards the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans as the Kansas City Chiefs aim to secure their third consecutive world championship against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 59. Here is my analysis of this matchup with my Super Bowl LIX Betting Pick and prediction!

The Chiefs are currently favored by 1.5 points, with the over/under set at 49 according to the latest odds for the 2025 Super Bowl. The Chiefs hold a money-line advantage at -127, while the Eagles are positioned as +107 underdogs. However, people that are willing to do the research, it is possible to get the best sports betting odds by using multiple sportsbooks. In their previous encounter during Super Bowl LVII in 2023, Kansas City triumphed with a score of 38-35 in a thrilling match.

Patrick Mahomes earned the title of Super Bowl MVP in that game, having thrown for 182 yards and three touchdowns, one of which was caught by tight end Travis Kelce. Most key players from both teams are expected to return for Super Bowl 59; however, the Eagles have bolstered their roster with the addition of All-Pro running back Saquon Barkley. Notably, Eagles receiver DeVonta Smith missed practice on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday due to a hamstring injury, while tight end Dallas Goedert was also absent for all three days due to an ankle injury.

Bengals vs Chargers NFL Betting Pick

Bet on the Philadelphia Eagles at -1.5

The Kansas City Chiefs are likely to face significant challenges in containing the running game of the Philadelphia Eagles, spearheaded by running back Saquon Barkley, who has accumulated 442 rushing yards and five touchdowns across three playoff contests. Philadelphia's quarterback, Jalen Hurts, has returned to form following a knee injury sustained during the divisional playoffs, enhancing his ability to maneuver both in passing situations and while running the football.

Throughout the season, Kansas City has had difficulties in covering the spread, managing to do so in only four of their last 13 games. The Eagles' defense is expected to make crucial stops, while their offense, driven by Barkley's rushing and Dallas Goedert's receiving capabilities, is poised to generate sufficient points to secure the title of Super Bowl LIX Champions. Therefore, the Philadelphia Eagles will take the win and cover the spread with a final score of 27-24.

Of course, that is just the main bet to make as there will be hundreds of Super Bowl LIX Prop bets to bet on. Some of the most popular prop bets will include the coin toss, first team to score and of course a lot of Taylor Swift prop bets!
