NFL Super Bowl LIX Betting Recap

Super Bowl LIX Betting Recap

Kansas City’s bid for a NFL record third straight Super Bowl victory was derailed in a big way by the Philadelphia Eagles. Behind game MVP Jalen Hurts and a stout defense, the Eagles stopped the Chiefs nine-game postseason winning streak and got some payback from a Super Bowl loss to Kansas City two years earlier. The Eagles won their second Super Bowl in franchise history, 40-22.

Maybe the Chiefs got tired of being the center of attention for so many years. Making their fifth Super Bowl appearance in six years, the Chiefs were accustomed to the hoopla surrounding the game. However, they weren’t ready for the onslaught of the Eagles. It was the seventh Super Bowl appearance overall for the Chiefs, who prior to their current run hadn’t been to the game since 1969, the year they famously beat Minnesota in Super Bowl IV. On the early odds for the 2025 season the Chiefs are favored to again reach the Super Bowl with coach Andy Reid stating he would return for another season.

And washing the stink away from their dismal performance could be enough to motivate Patrick Mahomes and his mates. The Chiefs may have played worse than they did in a 31-9 loss to Tampa Bay in Super Bowl LV. They had just 275 total yards and 12 first downs and trailed 24-0 at halftime and 34-0 late in the third quarter. Mahomes was sacked six times and intercepted twice, including a pick-six by Cooper DeJean in the second quarter that staked the Eagles to a 17-0 lead.

The Eagles were the only team during the regular season to allow an average of less than 300 total yards per game and they surrendered the second-fewest points per game. They didn’t need Hurts and Saquon Barkley to go off offensively, though the pair did their job well enough. Hurts passed for two TDs and rushed for another to earn MVP honors. Entering with an average of nearly 150 yards rushing per game in the postseason, Barkley was held in check with just 57 yards on 25 carries. The fact they still won by a blowout without much from Barkley shows just how deep and talented the Eagles are.

If not for a late season collapse and early playoff exit in the 2023 season, the Eagles could be reaching dynasty status. They appeared in the Super Bowl for the second time in three seasons and for the third time in the last eight seasons with a pair of NFL Championships. They beat Tom Brady and the Patriots in Super Bowl LII with the Philly Special becoming a household play. They also had the Chiefs on the ropes in Super Bowl LVII leading by 10 points at halftime but fell 38-35 on a Harrison Butker field goal with eight seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.

Teams will undergo changes before the start of the 2025 season but that hasn’t prevented outlets from doing their familiar way-to-early predictions. Just moments after the conclusion of Super Bowl LIX we saw futures odds surface for the next Super Bowl champion. And we see the usual suspects at the top of the list. Kansas City and Baltimore are the co-favorites with the Eagles third on the list. And just a reminder, Super Bowl LX is scheduled to take place on February 8, 2026 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.

NFL Super Bowl Results (2000)

You would have been laughed at if you told someone that the New England Patriots would surpass the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys, and San Francisco 49ers as the most successful franchises in the Super Bowl era at the start of the 21st Century. New England had only been to the Super Bowl twice when Bill Belichick and Tom Brady joined forces in 2000, but the Patriots made a whopping nine Super Bowl appearances in 18 years from 2001 to 2018. The Pats won the Super Bowl six times, establishing Brady as the GOAT and Belichick as the greatest head coach since Don Shula.

Pittsburgh is the only other team that has six Super Bowl titles. The Steelers were the team of the 1970s, winning four Super Bowls in six years with several Hall of Fame players on both sides of the ball. They have only had three head coaches over the last five-plus decades, as they have been continually successful under Chuck Noll, Bill Cowher, and Mike Tomlin. Cowher and Tomlin each lifted the Lombardi Trophy once for this franchise.

The Dallas Cowboys would have been the team of the 1970s if they had defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in either of their Super Bowl showdowns. The Cowboys lost both of those games, but they went to the Super Bowl five times in the decade and won it twice. Dallas was the team of the 1990s, though, as the Cowboys blew out all three of their AFC opponents in the big game in four years to make this the second franchise with five Super Bowl wins.

San Francisco is the only other team with at least five Super Bowl victories. The 49ers were the team of the 1980s, as Joe Montana took the team to four Super Bowl wins in that stretch. They added one for the thumb with their blowout of the San Diego Chargers in 1994, and they went to the Super Bowl twice in the 2010s. San Francisco lost to Baltimore in the Harbaugh Bowl, though, and blew a fourth-quarter lead against Kansas City in Super Bowl 54. In February 2024, the 49ers took an overtime lead over the Chiefs, only to lose another Super Bowl heartbreaker to Kansas City.
