February 4, 2025Super Bowl LIX Same Game Parlay Picks – Philadelphia Eagles vs. Kansas City Chiefs Recap
The Philadelphia Eagles dominated the Kansas City Chiefs, securing a 40-22 Super Bowl victory behind a stifling defense and efficient offense. Jalen Hurts threw for 221 yards and two touchdowns, adding a rushing score, while Cooper DeJean’s pick-six and Josh Sweat’s relentless pass rush led the Eagles’ defensive masterclass. Philadelphia sacked Patrick Mahomes six times, the most in his career, while forcing two interceptions and holding Kansas City scoreless until late in the third quarter.
The Eagles built a commanding 24-0 halftime lead, capitalizing on Mahomes’ mistakes, including a 38-yard pick-six by DeJean. Vic Fangio’s defensive unit, featuring eight new starters, consistently pressured Mahomes without blitzing. Saquon Barkley, the AP Offensive Player of the Year, rushed for 57 yards, surpassing Terrell Davis’ single-season rushing record. A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith each hauled in touchdowns, with Smith’s 46-yard score extending the lead to 34-0. Kansas City mounted a late rally, with Mahomes throwing three touchdowns, including two to rookie Xavier Worthy. However, it was too little, too late. The Chiefs’ hopes of a historic three-peat were dashed, as Andy Reid fell to 3-3 in Super Bowls. Meanwhile, Nick Sirianni cemented his legacy, delivering Philadelphia its second championship.
Patrick Mahomes’ 95.4 passer rating was misleading, as most of his production came in garbage time with the game well out of reach. Before that, the Chiefs’ QB1 struggled mightily, with Philadelphia’s relentless pressure overwhelming Kansas City’s offensive line. His late-game surge not only erased any hope of the under cashing but also ruined my 5-1 ticket on DeVonta Smith as the game’s leading receiver—thanks for nothing! Some have speculated that Mahomes’ poor performance through three quarters was due to a possible concussion sustained early in the first quarter. Concussed or not, the Chiefs never stood a chance, as Philly’s defense forced multiple turnovers, including a costly pick-six. The Eagles’ defensive dominance sealed the outcome early, making for a frustrating night for under bettors as well.
Super Bowl LIX Same Game Parlay Picks – Philadelphia Eagles vs. Kansas City Chiefs
My Super Bowl LIX same game parlay picks take us to the Caesars Superdome where the Kansas City Chiefs will attempt to make NFL history in a second go-round against the Philadelphia Eagles with the Lombardi Trophy on the line. Nick Sirianni’s troops mauled their way into the big game by way of disposing of the division rival Washington Commanders 55-23, while Andy Reid’s troops punched a third straight ticket outlasting the Buffalo Bills 32-29 in a final score that came with all sorts of criticism of both the referees and league itself.
The NFL odds for LIX hit the board at Caesars with the two-time defending champs installed 2-point favorites and the total set at 49.5. Believe it or not, but it’s the Eagles that’ve been the favored side by NFL bettors forcing a half-point market correction to +1.5 due to Philly being supported with nearly 60% of the bets and 80% of the money. Expect those percentages to change now that Super Bowl week is upon us with more public money set to infiltrate the market. Though these teams combined for a high scorer in LVII a few years back, it’s the under that total bettors have clamored for with nearly 70 percent of the written tickets and 65+ percent of the booked handle forcing a half-point move to 49.
Reduced juice betting is one of the best ways for any sports bettor to save money and far too many people don’t take advantage of it. If you are not playing at a sportsbook that offers reduced juice betting then you are simply giving away money.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl LIX Same Game Parlay:
The Eagles boast the dominant rushing attack when it comes to this matchup. With Saquon Barkley joining the backfield alongside Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia rolled out the league’s second-best rushing offense, averaging just under 180 yards per game at an impressive 5.1 yards per carry (#4). Their ground game was even more dominant in the postseason, surging to a staggering 6.6 yards per carry across playoff wins against the Packers, Rams, and Commanders—the highest mark among all 14 playoff teams.
Defensively, the Philadelphia Eagles enter this contest with the NFL’s top-ranked total defense, allowing just 278.4 yards per game during the regular season. Their secondary was a major strength, leading the league in pass defense by limiting opponents to just 174.2 yards per game. The run defense was solid as well, holding opponents to under 175 yards per game (#10) at 4.3 yards per carry (#11). However, their pass defense showed signs of vulnerability in the playoffs, surrendering 245.7 passing yards per game to Jordan Love, Matthew Stafford, and Jayden Daniels.
The Chiefs didn’t put up eye-popping numbers this season. Their offense ranked 16th overall, averaging 327.6 yards per game, with both the passing (#16) and rushing (#14) attacks landing in the middle of the pack. Steve Spagnuolo’s defense remained solid but wasn’t as dominant as the previous year’s top-five unit. This time, Kansas City ranked ninth overall, allowing 101.2 rushing yards per game (#8), while the pass defense gave up just under 219 yards per game (#18). Despite those modest rankings, the Chiefs still finished 15-2 in the regular season and enter this matchup having covered the spread at Caesars Sportsbook in both playoff games.
With that, it’s hard to believe history isn’t in the making on Sunday. Philadelphia’s defense will undoubtedly challenge Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, but the duo always finds a way. As much as I hesitate to buy into that narrative, it feels inevitable. The fact that bookmakers have taken heavy Eagles action while only adjusting the spread by half a point speaks volumes. I’d back the Chiefs now, knowing public money could push the line higher before kickoff. It’s also possible the over gets even more action until then, so I’d hold off there to see if we can’t squeeze out some more line value. Either way, look for the Chiefs to win it a third straight time with the duo mentioned earlier likely to take home Super Bowl LIX MVP honors. Either way, expect the Chiefs to secure their third straight title, with Mahomes and Kelce representing the prime candidates to take home Super Bowl LIX MVP honors.
- KANSAS CITY CHIEFS -1.5
