There are tons of fun markets to bet on for Super Bowl 59, and I found two team specials I believe have a lot of value.
The pregame narrative: The Kansas City Chiefs tend to start slow, and that’s been the case in recent title game appearances. I’m taking the Philadelphia Eagles to score first and lose the big game. I also love the value on both teams scoring 20-plus points.
Check out my Super Bowl team specials best bets below.

Best bet: Eagles to score first and lose (+375): If we look back at Super Bowl 57 between the Chiefs and Eagles, here’s how it went down:
- Jalen Hurts scores first to put Philly up, 7-0.
- Eagles lead 24-14 at half.
- Mahomes and the Chiefs go on to score 17 fourth-quarter points and win, 38-35.
This narrative continued last season and through this year, as KC continues to find ways to get it done even if it’s not in the cleanest fashion.
Philadelphia, on the other hand, averaged 12.3 first-quarter points through the first three playoff games while Kansas City is averaging 6.5.
Now, let’s throw it back to November when the Chiefs made history.
It shows the legendary resilience of this Kansas City squad that is looking to win its third straight Super Bowl. I wouldn’t count out the Chiefs if things go south early.
Key stat: KC has won three of the past five Super Bowls, and the other team scored first in all three games.
Quick pick
Each team to score 20+ points (-136): The Chiefs and Eagles have two of the best defences in the league, but there’s too much firepower on the offensive side for me to ignore this line.
Since their Week 5 bye, the Eagles are 14-1 and have scored 20-plus points in every game.
The Chiefs had less success on offence this season, but they show up when it matters most. They’ve scored 20-plus points in both playoff games.
An early over/under total of 49.5 indicates this will be a high-scoring game, and the 1.5-point spread means it should be a close contest.
As long as that’s the case, both offences should be able to get past this very modest total.
