In this year’s Super Bowl, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs face off in the 59th annual Superbowl on Feb. 9th, 6:30 p.m. EST. BetMGM Sportsbook and many other betting apps have the Chiefs as 1.5-point favorites.
Throughout the 2025 NFL playoffs, the Chiefs took down the Houston Texans and the Buffalo Bills en route to the Superbowl. In the NFC, the Eagles dominated both games beating the Los Angeles Rams 28-22 and the Washington Commanders 55-23.
Star running back Saquon Barkley previously ran for a record-breaking 255 yards giving him the record of most rushing yards in a single game in Eagles history earlier in the regular season against the Rams.
He dashed through the ice for 205 yards in the snow-filled playoff game, tying for the fifth most yards in a single game in Eagles history. Barkley also had the chance to break the all-time single-season rushing record against his former team, the New York Giants, but he was benched to lower his risk of injury pre-playoffs.
On the Chiefs’ side, 5-time pro-bowl quarterback Patrick Mahomes led his team to a record of 15-2, tying the Detroit Lions for the best record in the NFL. With a Super Bowl win this year, Mahomes and the Chiefs would complete the first “three-peat” of Super Bowls ever.
At this point in his career, some think with another Super Bowl win, Mahomes could go into the G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time) conversation. He has achieved things most legends took their whole careers to accomplish before age 30.
Travis Kelce, star tight end for the Chiefs, is also in the conversation of being the G.O.A.T. in his position.
Throughout their careers, they’ve been compared to the infamous duo of Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski, the quarterback-tight end duo of the last dynasty.
For the Eagles, this 2024-2025 team could potentially go down as the best Eagles team of all time. They are the number one-ranked defense in the league with the least amount of yards allowed per game. On top of their defense, their offense has been stellar as well and they rank second in the league in point differential.
With the number one ranked defense in the NFL and potentially one of the best single-season performances from their running back, they’re looking like a dangerous team.
For most of this season, this has been the predicted Super Bowl for almost everyone who watches the NFL. With that being said, the tension has been building all season for the biggest game of these players’ careers.
