Super Bowl 59 is scheduled to be played on February 9, 2025, at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The NFL’s Super Bowl (AKA “the Big Game”) is the country’s largest yearly professional American football championship game – and is viewed by tens of millions of sports fans worldwide each year – not just for the football – but also for the super bowl commercials, and entertainment.

2025 SuperBowl Betting – Chiefs Vs Eagles

Kansas City Chiefs (15-2, AFC No. 1 seed)

Led by head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs are aiming for a historic three-peat, a feat no team has accomplished in the Super Bowl era. With Mahomes making his fifth Super Bowl appearance—tying legends like John Elway—Kansas City’s journey has been fueled by their suffocating defense, which ranked fourth in scoring during the regular season (19.2 PPG). Their pass rush has been relentless, tallying 10 sacks in two playoff games.

Philadelphia Eagles (14-3, NFC No. 2 seed)

Head coach Nick Sirianni and quarterback Jalen Hurts have orchestrated an impressive season, culminating in the Eagles’ second Super Bowl berth in four years. Powered by offseason acquisition Saquon Barkley, the NFL’s rushing leader with 2,005 yards, and a top-ranked defense, the Eagles bring a balanced, bruising style of football. Philadelphia’s dominance in time of possession (32:22 per game) has allowed them to control games and keep opposing offenses off the field.

Keys to the Game

Chiefs

Hope: Kansas City’s defense has kept them in tight games all season. Their ability to generate pressure will be crucial in disrupting Philadelphia’s offense.
Concern: Offensive line woes could spell trouble. Mahomes has been sacked 41 times this season (regular season and playoffs combined), a career-high, and will need protection against a ferocious Eagles pass rush led by Nolan Smith Jr.

Eagles

Hope: Philadelphia’s physicality on both sides of the ball is unmatched. With Barkley’s explosiveness and an offensive line that grinds down opponents, they can impose their will.
Concern: The passing game has been underwhelming. While Jalen Hurts has protected the ball well, the aerial attack has been overly conservative, leaving playmakers like A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith underutilized.

Matchups to Watch

  • Nolan Smith Jr. (Eagles OLB) vs. Jawaan Taylor (Chiefs RT): Smith’s agility and relentless motor have been pivotal in Philadelphia’s playoff success. Expect defensive coordinator Vic Fangio to isolate Taylor in one-on-one scenarios to maximize Smith’s impact.
  • Xavier Worthy (Chiefs WR) vs. Eagles Secondary: Worthy’s emergence as a reliable target for Mahomes adds a new dimension to Kansas City’s offense. His speed and yards-after-catch ability will test a stout Philadelphia secondary.
  • Dallas Goedert (Eagles TE) vs. Chiefs Defense: Goedert has thrived since returning from injury, and with the Chiefs allowing the most receiving yards to tight ends this season, he could be a game-changer.

The Quarterback Duel

  • Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs): The face of the NFL enters his fifth Super Bowl as a polished leader, capable of masking offensive deficiencies. Despite shaky protection, Mahomes excels under pressure, ranking second in success rate and fourth in EPA per dropback when blitzed.
  • Jalen Hurts (Eagles): Hurts, while not as dynamic as Mahomes in the passing game, thrives in a run-heavy system that minimizes mistakes. However, his success against pressure lags (19th in success rate), making protection and play design crucial for the Eagles.

X-Factors

  • Chiefs: Xavier Worthy. The speedy wideout has been electric in the playoffs, and his ability to stretch the field will be vital for Kansas City’s offense.
  • Eagles: Saquon Barkley. His blend of power and agility makes him a constant threat. However, Kansas City’s strong run defense could limit his impact, putting more pressure on Hurts to deliver through the air.

Historical Stakes

  • The Chiefs aim to become the first team since the Packers in the 1960s to win three straight championships.
  • Andy Reid ties Don Shula for the second-most Super Bowl appearances by a coach (six).
  • The Eagles look to avenge their 2023 Super Bowl loss to Kansas City and secure their second title in franchise history.

Super Bowl Wagering Options: The Most Popular Bets

Moneyline for the Super Bowl

Do you want to bet on who will win the Super Bowl once the finalists have been determined? This is called a moneyline bet. Winning moneyline bets on the NFL are paid out based on the odds associated with the wager at online NFL betting sites.

Consider the following scenario: if you bet $110 on the favorite at -110, you could gain $100 for every $110 invested, for a total return of $210 ($110 initial investment + $100 winnings = $210 total payout). When you wager on the underdog at +110, a winning bet will pay you $110 for every $100 wagered, for a total return of $210 ($100 initial stake + $110 winnings = total payment of $200).

Spread Bets

NFL Super Bowl spread bets allow you to wager on whether a team will win or lose by a certain margin – the spread (aka the handicap). When a negative (-) number appears, it indicates which team is the bookmaker’s favorite to win the matchup, and a positive (+) number indicates which team is the underdog in the match-up.

NFL Betting Odds Example:

Date/Time Team Spread Win Total
09/02/22 @ 20:00 New York Giants +4 (-115) +170 O44 (-105) Chicago Bears -4 (-105) -200 U44 (-115)

For example (using the odds above), betting on the New York Giants to win as underdogs (+4), they must either beat the Chicago Bears or lose by a margin of four points or less in order for you to win your wager. But if they are defeated by more than five points, you will lose your bet.

Over/Under wagers on the Super Bowl

An over/under wager allows you to place a bet on whether the final cumulative score of the game will be greater than or less than the amount offered by your bookmaker. For instance, a total of 49 points if offered by your sportsbook for the Super Bowl. In this case, if you bet on the “under” and the game ends with a final score of 30-20, you will lose your wager because the total combined score is 50 points. Alternatively, if the game ends 24-21 – an aggregate score of 45 – you would win.

Prop Betting Options

These types of wagers are Side Bets because they do not involve the outcome of the game. Prop bets let you wager on whether a quarterback will throw for less than 200 yards or more than 200 yards during a game or if a running back will gain less than 20 yards or more than 20 yards. A typical prop bet for a kicker could be on whether or not the player will make a specific number of field goals or whether or not they would miss an extra point in a game.

Exotic Super Bowl Betting Options

In addition to these more unusual prop bets, the Super Bowl can feature wagers on the game-opening coin toss, as well as which side will win the coin toss. There are also prop bets available for the Super Bowl’s two non-game events: the National Anthem and the halftime show. You can bet on how long the National Anthem will play and whether or not particular celebrities will be on stage during the halftime show at the Super Bowl.

Betting on the Super Bowl MVP

If you want to bet on who will win the Super Bowl MVP award, it’s important to know which player positions have won the award historically:

Super Bowl MVP Wins by Position
Position Super Bowl MVP Wins
Quarterback 17 MVP winners
Running back 7 MVP winners
Wide receiver 8 MVP winners
Linebacker 4 MVP winners
Safety 2 MVP winners
Defensive end 2 MVP winners
Defensive tackle 1 MVP winner
Cornerback 1 MVP winner
Kick returner/punt returner 1 MVP winner

Live Wagers

In recent years, live super bowl betting options have been increasingly popular since they allow you to put wagers on the point spread, moneyline, or total score of the game while it is still in progress. The odds for these bets change throughout the Super Bowl.
