Chiefs early 1.5-point favorites against Eagles in Super Bowl

Oddsmakers at three leading sportsbooks have listed the Kansas City Chiefs as 1.5-point favorites to beat the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9 in New Orleans.

BetMGM, DraftKings and FanDuel also all have the total at 49.5 points. The game is a rematch of Super Bowl LVII on Feb. 12, 2023, when the Chiefs won 38-35 in Glendale, Ariz.

The books couldn't fully agree on the moneylines, though. DraftKings and BetMGM listed the Chiefs at -125 and the Eagles at +105, while FanDuel has Kansas City at -132 and Philadelphia at +112.

The Chiefs, who edged the visiting Buffalo Bills 32-29 in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday night, will try to become the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls. Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been named the game's MVP three times, coming away with the award at each of the past two Super Bowls.

Kansas City has won four Super Bowls in six appearances all-time.

The Eagles, who are headed to their fifth Super Bowl, took advantage of four turnovers by the visiting Washington Commanders for a 55-23 win in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday afternoon.

Philadelphia won its only Super Bowl title by beating the New England Patriots 41-33 on Feb. 4, 2018, in Minneapolis.
