Philadelphia Eagles vs Kansas City Chiefs Preview

The Eagles have proven through their whole journey to the Super Bowl that they are a force to be reckoned with, particularly evident in their convincing win over the Washington Commanders in the Conference Championships. As a rematch of the 2023 Super Bowl, the Eagles will be out for revenge – and a second title!

Quarterback Jalen Hurts can heavily influence the game, his dual-threat capabilities being pivotal in the run to the Super Bowl. The same can be said for running back Saquon Barkley, whose consistently brilliant performances since joining as a free agent would suggest he will be on the scoresheet this weekend. But to impose their will on the game and involve these stars, the Eagles need to have their defence in order, something that has shown vast improvement under coordinator Vic Fangio.

The Chiefs have their sights firmly set on Super Bowl history and a historic three-peat, a feat only achieved once before by the Dallas Cowboys. Their dominance over the sport in the last few years has been something to behold and it will take a massive performance from the Eagles to finally bring a halt to the Chiefs freight train.

In the quarterback showdown, Chiefs talisman Patrick Mahomes is going for his fourth Super Bowl, already cementing his legacy as one of the NFL’s greats and enjoying yet another prolific season in terms of passing touchdowns.

Can he win another Super Bowl MVP award? Mahomes is 2.10 to collect the accolade, ahead of Barkley (3.60), Hurts (4.50) and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (17.00).

Philadelphia Eagles vs Kansas City Chiefs Betting Tips

50/50

All indicators point to a high-scoring game. The dynamic front lines and high-profile offensive players could make this an absolute thriller. Total points (including overtime) to exceed 50 is at 2.17.

Paddy’s Day

Given his tendency to run under pressure, Mahomes to make over 6.5 rushing attempts could be a good bet at eye-catching odds of 2.20.

Walk in the Bark

Barkley has been vital to the Eagles’ passing game out of the backfield, and his consistency is quite remarkable. We think he will be a big contributor once again, with over 2.5 receptions priced at 2.39.
