The betting favourite
Kansas City Chiefs (-125)
Bills fans, look away.
Mahomes and the Chiefs did it again, pulling out a 32-29 win to punch their third straight Super Bowl ticket and fifth in the last six years.
A dynasty is unfolding in front of our eyes and now only 60 minutes separate KC from the history books.
The biggest knock on the Chiefs this year was their lack of offensive burst. But when they needed to score, they did. Mahomes used his legs for two TDs (matching his regular-season total) while adding one through the air.
Kansas City’s season-high 32 points is a reminder that this offence is still a well-oiled machine.
Xavier Worthy, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Kareem Hunt each logged 60-plus scrimmage yards when Buffalo opted to double-team Travis Kelce.
Steve Spagnuolo’s defence is elite but most importantly, this team is loaded with experience. It’ll be hard to bet against Mahomes on Feb. 9.
The underdog
Philadelphia Eagles (+110)
The Eagles fell just short of beating Kansas City in the Super Bowl two years ago … but now they have Saquon Barkley.
The dynamic tailback somehow found another gear after an MVP-calibre regular season, rushing for 442 yards and five touchdowns across three playoff games.
The Barkley-led offence erupted for 55 points against the Washington Commanders in the NFC championship game, with Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown having solid games, too:
- Hurts: 246 passing yards (20/28), 1 passing TD, 3 rushing TDs
- Brown: 6 receptions, 98 yards, 1 TD
Philadelphia owns the league’s best scoring defence and has held five straight opponents under 25 points.
The squad is a little banged up but the extra week off should help it get back to 100% for the Big Game.
