Top Betting Strategies for Chiefs vs Eagles in Super Bowl 59

• Super Bowl 59 kicks off Sunday between the Chiefs and Eagles
• KC scored just five touchdowns all season of 20+ yards
• Read below for our smart Super Bowl bets to make for the Chiefs vs Eagles showdown

The Super Bowl betting menu is extremely vast. There’s almost nothing you can’t bet on, but most of those wagers are flawed for two reasons. One, the odds of them actually hitting are nowhere close to how they’re priced. Second, it’s next to impossible to get a sizeable amount of money down on a novelty prop. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be firing on Super Bowl Sunday. Below is a list of smart NFL prop bets to make, that are each priced fairly and can handle a reasonable-sized wager.

Smart Super Bowl 59 Bets for Chiefs vs Eagles

We’ll start with Patrick Mahomes as MVP at +120 odds. Kansas City is a 1.5-point favorite, and if history has taught us anything, it’s that the Chiefs winning a Super Bowl will result in Mahomes earning Most Valuable Player honors.

Super Bowl Bet #1: Patrick Mahomes to Win MVP

He’s three-for-three in KC Super Bowl triumphs so far. It’s hard to argue against him winning the last two years, but he stole the award from Damien Williams in 2019. Williams became the first player in Super Bowl history to rush for 100+ yards, and score a rushing and receiving touchdown. His two 4th quarter scores helped the Chiefs overcome a 10-point deficit, yet it still wasn’t enough to overtake his quarterback.

Voters looked past Mahomes’ two interceptions and inconsistent game, but it’s not the first time QB favortism has been shown. Let’s not forget, James White broke the scoring record in a Super Bowl and was passed over for Tom Brady. Quarterbacks have won the award in six of the past eight years, and an offensive player still won the award in the lowest scoring Super Bowl ever in 2018.

Bottom-line, if you’re on the Chiefs to three-peat, you’ll make more money betting on Mahomes to win MVP.

Super Bowl Bet #2: Eagles to Score Longest Touchdown

Our next choice, is the Eagles to score the game’s longest touchdown. Philadelphia boasts a significantly more explosive roster than KC, featuring multiple players who have a history of scoring long touchdowns. Saquon Barkley, Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith are all capable of taking any play to the house. On the other side, it’s really just Xavier Worthy that’s a threat to break a big play.

Look no further than the last two playoff games. The Eagles have scored five touchdowns of 44 yards or longer. Kansas City meanwhile, has not scored outside of the 11-yard line all postseason. In fact, they’ve scored only two 40+ yard TD all season, and only one since Rashee Rice went down in Week 3.

The Chiefs haven’t scored a 20+ yard touchdown since Week 15, and have recorded only five of those in 19 games. Philadelphia on the other hand, has at least one 20+ yard TD in all but five games that their starters have played.

When these two teams met in the Super Bowl two years ago, Philly scored the only 20+ yard touchdown of the contest. The Eagles racked up 73 explosive plays during the regular season, compared to only 56 by the Chiefs.

Super Bowl Bet #3: Patrick Mahomes 25+ Passing Yards in Each Quarter

Last, but not least, we’re targetting Mahomes again but this time to throw for 25+ yards in every quarter. Running against this Eagles front is a daunting task. Philly allowed the 10th fewest rushing yards this season, and features one of the best d-lines in football.

The Chiefs offense meanwhile, is among the leaders in pass rate over expectation. They use the quick passing attack as an extension of their run game, nickle and diming defenses to death. Look no further than how they attacked the Bills on the opening drive of the AFC Championship. Mahomes threw the ball on five of KC’s first six plays, setting up the Chiefs in the red zone for an eventual Kareem Hunt score.

If you’re worried about a KC win, and them running out the clock on the ground, don’t be. Andy Reid wants to keep the ball in Mahomes’ hands at all costs, letting him decide the outcome. The Chiefs were throwing in the final minute to put away the Bills last week, and will do so again if given the opportunity in the Super Bowl. If game script goes the other way and KC is trailing, you can bet they’ll quickly abandon any thought of running.

Mahomes averages 278 passing yards, and a 68% completion rate in the postseason. He’s hit the 270 yard mark in three of four Super Bowl appearances, including a 333 yard performance in last year’s Big Game.

With both teams boasting strong rosters and impressive performances throughout the season, it can be tough to predict the outcome of this highly anticipated matchup. However, there are a few key strategies that bettors can consider to increase their chances of success.

One important factor to consider when betting on the Super Bowl is the injury report.

Another important strategy to consider is analyzing each team’s strengths and weaknesses. The Chiefs have one of the most explosive offenses in the league, led by star quarterback Patrick Mahomes. On the other hand, the Eagles have a strong defense that has been able to shut down some of the best offenses in the league. Understanding how these strengths and weaknesses match up against each other can help bettors determine which team has the advantage in certain aspects of the game.

Additionally, bettors should consider the betting lines and odds for the game. The point spread, over/under, and moneyline are all important factors to consider when placing bets on the Super Bowl. Understanding how these lines are set and what they mean can help bettors make more strategic bets that align with their predictions for the game.

Lastly, bettors should also consider the historical performance of each team in past Super Bowls. The Chiefs are coming off a Super Bowl win last year, while the Eagles have a history of success in the big game as well. Understanding how each team has performed in previous Super Bowls can provide valuable insight into how they may perform in this year’s matchup.

Overall, betting on the Super Bowl can be a fun and exciting experience, but it’s important to approach it with a strategic mindset. By considering factors such as injuries, strengths and weaknesses, betting lines, and historical performance, bettors can increase their chances of making successful bets on the Chiefs vs Eagles in Super Bowl 59.
