The Philadelphia Eagles are Going to Win the Super Bowl and Here’s Why
D.S. Williamson | MyBookie Sports Writer
Saquon Barkley is Unstoppable
The former New York Giants running back not only proved what he could do on a championship caliber offense but saved the running back position. A
long with Derrick Henry in Baltimore, 2024 was the year running backs returned to NFL greatness.
Saquon averaged 5.8 yards per carry while rushing for 2,005 yards and scoring 13 TDs.
He’s unstoppable. It’s going to be difficult for Steve Spagnuolo to come up with a game plan to contain Barkley.
If You Contain Saquon, Jalen Hurts is the Eagles’ Second RB1
If Spags does create a plan to keep Barkley under control, the Eagles will find a way to get Jalen Hurts open rushing lanes.
Hurts isn’t just a great passing quarterback.
He’s a legit RB1, meaning he’d be the starting running back on every team in the NFL with the exception of Baltimore and Philly if not for his fantastic quarterbacking skills.
If You Shut Down Hurts’s Run Game, He’ll Torch You in the Pass Game
Like I mentioned above, Hurts is an RB1 that is also a pinpoint passer.
If Spagnuolo finds a way to keep the Eagles’ rushing attack from controlling the game, Hurts will beat you in the passing game with throws to tight end Dallas Goedert and receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
The Philly Defense is Playing Lights Out
- Vic Fangio took one of 2023’s worst NFL defenses and turned into a beast. Fangio’s D is one of the best in the NFL against the rush, which means the legendary defensive coordinator will find ways top disrupt Patrick Mahomes’ and the Chiefs’ passing attack.
- The Philadelphia defense is the reason the Eagles finished the regular season going 12-1 straight up in their last 13 games. Philly gets it done on February 9.

The Philadelphia Eagles’ Run Game Will Win the Super Bowl
Henry Watkins | MyBookie Sports Writer
We are now just a matter of days away from the Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs looking for an unprecedented three-peat.
They will need to get past the Philadelphia Eagles to hit that historic landmark, but will they be able to do it? Before I answer that question, I am going to go through all the things that I look at before I make a pick on any game.
Just because this is the biggest game of the season in the NFL, I simply don’t change the way I look at things, so let’s break it all down before I make my pick.
Offensive Comparisons
We all know about Patrick Mahomes and what he has done in his career, but it does have to be said that this was something of a down year for him in terms of stats.
The Chiefs were down in the middle of the pack in passing yards, averaging 222 YPG, while adding 104 YPG on the ground, which was good for 22nd overall.
Jalen Hurts was further down the pack in passing yards, with the Eagles throwing for 189 YPG, but they were very near the top in rush yards, averaging 179 YPG, with Saquon Barkley doing most of the dame.
KC averaged 22.9 PPG, while the Eagles posted 27.2 PPG.
These teams have very different approaches to their offensive play, but the ability of the Eagles to effectively run the football means that they have the chance to control the clock, which, in my opinion, gives them the slight edge here.
Defensive Comparisons
There is an old cliché that states defense wins championships, so might this be the most important comparison of the bunch? I’m not so sure it is, as it tends to be teams that are strong from top to bottom that win it all.
In terms of points allowed per game, there is very little to choose between these teams.
The Chiefs surrendered 19.2 PP, while the Eagles surrendered just 17.8 PPG, which was 2nd best in the league.
This is really a coin flip, so let’s call it a tie.
Trends and Head-to-Head
At this point, we should discuss the odds for the game, as I get closer to revealing my Super Bowl pick.
The Chiefs are favored 1 ½ to win, with the point total set at 49.
Let’s look at the betting trends for both teams, as well as how things have gone in previous meetings.
KC has a slight edge of 5-4 SU in their last 9 games against the Eagles, with the spread also sitting at 5-4 in favor of the Chiefs.
In terms of the point total, 6 of those 9 meetings went OVER.
KC has won 4 of the last 5 against Philly and are winners of 6 in a row versus teams from the NFC.
That last stat is somewhat wiped out by the Eagles, as they have now won 8 in a row versus teams from the AFC, as well as going 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games playing as the underdog.
Super Bowl Pick and Score Prediction
As I mentioned earlier, the biggest edge in this matchup is in the run game, where the Eagles have a huge advantage.
If Barkley is on his game, the Eagles can control the clock, which I think gets them the win and keeps the total UNDER.
Super Bowl Score Prediction: Kansas City Chiefs 20 Philadelphia Eagles 24
MyBookie Writer: Henry Watkins Pick: Philadelphia Eagles / Under
The Kansas City Chiefs will Walk Away with Their Third Consecutive Super Bowl Title
Derrick Harper | MyBookie Sports Writer
The Kansas City Chiefs are built for moments like this, and they will win their third straight Super Bowl. Patrick Mahomes has proven time and time again that he delivers in the biggest games.
No quarterback in the league is better at making plays when everything is on the line. With Andy Reid calling the shots and Steve Spagnuolo leading an aggressive defense, the Chiefs have the coaching edge that will make the difference.
Kansas City’s defense has been one of the most underrated units in the NFL all season.
They rank in the top 10 in both points and yards allowed, and they’ve stepped up in key playoff moments.
While the Eagles have leaned on their run game, the Chiefs have shown they can make adjustments.
If they can slow down Saquon Barkley and put the game in Jalen Hurts’ hands, they will force the Eagles into tough situations.
Offensively, Mahomes has found ways to win despite a revolving door of receivers. Travis Kelce remains his most trusted target, and in big games, he always delivers.
The Chiefs also have the ability to control the tempo, whether it’s through Mahomes’ quick passing or their ability to extend drives with timely scrambles.
When the game is close, Kansas City finds a way to execute better than any other team in the league.
The Eagles have a strong roster, but their weaknesses have been exposed at times this season. Kansas City’s experience, coaching, and ability to perform in high-pressure situations give them the advantage.
In a close game, Mahomes will make the plays that matter most, and the Chiefs will walk away with their third consecutive Super Bowl title.
MyBookie Writer: Derrick Harper Pick: Kansas City -1
Super Bowl 59: Why The Eagles Will Beat The Chiefs
Jordan Walters | MyBookie Sports Wrtier
The Kansas City Chiefs try to become the first team in league history to win three straight Super Bowls, and they are short favorites on the NFL odds against the Philadelphia Eagles in a rematch of Super Bowl 57.
This is the ninth Super Bowl rematch in NFL history. The winner of the 1st game is 6-2 in the 2nd meeting.
It’s only the second Super Bowl rematch to occur in a three-year window, joining the Bills and Cowboys from Super Bowls XXVII and XXVIII following the 1992-93 campaigns.
The Chiefs won that Super Bowl in a thriller, 38-35, the third-highest scoring game in its history and the first title of this potentially historic threepeat.
Playing on an injured ankle, Patrick Mahomes threw two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter and scrambled 26 yards on the go-ahead drive before Harrison Butker kicked a 27-yard field goal with 8 seconds left.
With the score tied at 35-35, the Eagles tried to let the Chiefs score a touchdown with under two minutes left so they could get the ball back after a defensive holding call on cornerback James Bradberry on third-and-8 gave Kansas City a first down.
But Jerick McKinnon slid at the 2, forcing the Eagles to use their last timeout.
Philadelphia largely dominated statistically in that game and didn’t have Saquon Barkley then but does now and that’s why I believe the Eagles are equipped to win their second title and first since following the 2017 season.
History Might Not Help the Chiefs
It’s definitely hard to bet against Mahomes, as his AFC title win was his sixth-career fourth-quarter comeback in the postseason, passing Joe Montana for the second-most all-time.
Mahomes also now owns a winning record for his career in games that he trailed at some point in the fourth quarter at 27-26. That’s easily the best mark for any quarterback in league history, and the next closest winning percentage – compiled by Daryle Lamonica – is just .386.
Nine teams have won back-to-back Super Bowls in league history, but the Chiefs are the only member of that group to return to the Super Bowl for a third-straight year.
Overall, the Chiefs are just the fourth team in league history to play in three consecutive Super Bowls, joining the 1971-73 Miami Dolphins, the 1990-93 Buffalo Bills and the 2016-18 New England Patriots.
Obviously, they all lost. Kansas City’s 17-game winning streak in one-score games exceeds the old record by four games, so it is simply overdue a close loss.
Barkley has had arguably the greatest season ever for a running back and likely will become the first to reach 2,500 yards rushing in a season including playoffs.
The Chiefs were a Top 10 defense against the run in the regular season but haven’t been nearly as good in these playoffs. Barkley is just the third player ever to have 400+ rushing yards in the playoffs before playing in the Super Bowl.
The two previous guys (John Riggins and Terrell Davis) both rushed for over 150 yards in the Super Bowl and took home MVP honors.
The Eagles Run for the Title
With the Eagles wearing green, the Chiefs will wear their white away jerseys. Teams wearing white jerseys in the Super Bowl are 16-4 in the last 20 title games.
The only two teams to win wearing home colors over the last decade are … the Chiefs and the Eagles.
Led by Barkley, Philadelphia rushed for a single-season club-record 3,048 yards (6th-most in NFL history) and finished 2nd in the NFL in rushing yards per game (179.3), trailing only Baltimore (187.6).
The Eagles are the second team in NFL history to rush for 3,000+ yards and 25+ TDs (29). Philadelphia also set a club record in passer rating (103.4) in 2024.
Under new coordinator Vic Fangio, the Eagles (278.4 ypg) led the league in total defense for the seventh time in team history, having previously accomplished the feat in 1991.
Philadelphia is just the second team since the 1970 merger to feature the NFL’s rushing champion on offense while showcasing the league’s No. 1 defense, joining the 1992 Cowboys (won Super Bowl XXVII).
Philadelphia also ranked 1st in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game (174.2) for the second time in the last three years (also 2022, 179.8).
Furthermore, the Eagles finished with the NFL lead in defensive points allowed per game (16.9 — their best figure since 15.8 in 2008), opponent three-and-out percentage (39.0%), and FFs (18, tied). That these Eagles have Fangio and the 2022 Eagles didn’t is a big deal.
And More History Agaisnt the Chiefs
The final unbeaten team in the NFL hasn’t won the Super Bowl since 2006. Kansas City was the last unbeaten this season, not losing until Week 11.
Just so many historical trends against the Chiefs, who tie the NFL record for wins in a season (including playoffs) with a victory (18 by 1984 49ers, 1985 Bears, 2007 Patriots).

How does it Work?
What are Super Bowl Picks? Let’s Find Out
Super Bowl Picks refer to the predictions and selections made by sports bettors, analysts, or experts regarding the outcome of the Super Bowl, the championship game of the NFL. These picks can involve a variety of betting options, from predicting which team will win the game to more specific bets such as the point spread, over/under totals, player performances, and prop bets.
Here’s a breakdown of what Super Bowl Picks typically entail:
-
Picking the Winner:
This is the most basic and common type of Super Bowl pick—deciding which team will win the game.
Bettors analyze team strengths, weaknesses, key matchups, injuries, and past performance to predict which team will come out on top. -
Point Spread:
A pick on the point spread involves selecting whether a team will cover the spread (win by a certain margin or lose by less than a certain margin).
For example, if the point spread is -3 for a team, they must win by more than 3 points for a bet on that team to win. -
Over/Under (Total Points):
Another common Super Bowl pick is betting on the total number of points scored by both teams combined, known as the over/under.
If the line is set at 48 points, you can bet on whether the total score will be higher (over) or lower (under) than that. -
Player Props:
These are specific picks involving individual player performances, such as betting on how many yards a quarterback will throw, whether a particular player will score a touchdown, or how many sacks a defense will record. -
Other Props & Special Bets:
The Super Bowl is famous for its wide range of prop bets, which can include everything from betting on the color of the Gatorade dumped on the winning coach to the length of the national anthem.
These bets add a fun, unique layer to the Super Bowl betting experience.
When people talk about their Super Bowl picks, they’re generally referring to their predictions on one or more of these bets, often based on analysis of the teams, their players, statistics, and trends.
Are you considering placing any specific Super Bowl picks this year? There’s a lot of exciting options!
