Super Bowl Odds 2025: Tips for Box Score and Over/Under Based on Early Payouts

For the second time in three years, the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs will battle on the Super Bowl stage for the right to hoist the Lombardi Trophy as world champions.

The Chiefs won that first showdown in February of 2023, narrowly besting the NFC champions in a high-scoring affair, 38-35.

The Eagles were a young, explosive team with an inexperienced head coach in Nick Siriani in that first match-up, but that is not the case entering this year's game. They also didn't have an MVP candidate at running back in that showdown, but do now, with Saquon Barkley taking over games and proving to be the most electrifying player in the league.

Will he be enough to earn the Eagles a bit of revenge against the Chiefs and their first Super Bowl title since the end of the 2017 season?

Find out with this early preview, including what the DraftKings Sportsbook oddsmakers are saying ahead of this intriguing rematch.

Date: Sunday, February 9

Time: 6:30 p.m.

Location: Caesar's Superdome in New Orleans

TV: FOX

Streaming: FOX Sports app, Fubo

Halftime Show: Kendrick Lamar

Over/Under: 49.5 points

The last time the Eagles and Chiefs squared off, the teams scored a combined 73 points. While they both have the offensive weapons to make that happen again, both teams' defenses are significantly improved and have played significant roles in their respective teams' success.

Neither the Eagles nor the Chiefs are the Commanders or Bills, both of whom had their own issues defensively, allowing the opposition to move the ball as well as they did in the championship games.

Philadelphia transformed from the 26th-ranked squad a year ago to the top defense in the league under new coordinator Vic Fangio. They allowed 278.4 yards per game in the regular season and allowed just 33 touchdowns through 18 weeks.

A strong pass rush, a quality linebacker unit, and a secondary that may bend but rarely breaks have helped the Eagles keep things close until the offense rolls.

The Chiefs' defense ranked ninth in the league this season, giving up just 320.6 yards per game and allowing just five touchdowns in the playoffs, the same number as their Super Bowl opponents.

Veterans like Chris Jones, Nick Bolton, George Karlaftis, and Justin Reid have been to Super Bowls and made plays that were key to their team's success, doing just enough to ensure victory.

Yes, both teams have explosive playmakers capable of blowing the doors open, resulting in a high-scoring showdown that mimics their previous encounter on this stage. Still, the improved and consistent defensive play of both squads this year makes a 49.5-point over/under seem like a more reasonable bet than the 73 points they totaled two years ago.

Spread: 1.5 points

The Eagles and Chiefs were the best teams in football all season so it is appropriate that they meet again in the biggest game of the year.

The 1.5-point spread makes sense given how close their previous match-up was, as does the Chiefs being slight favorites given their Super Bowl experience. Until a team not quarterbacked by Tom Brady can go onto that stage and knock off Patrick Mahomes and Co., it stands to reason that oddsmakers would side with the two-time defending champions.

With that said, the Chiefs do have a noticeable weakness that the Eagles will be able to exploit if quarterback Jalen Hurts is on top of his game.

The Chiefs were the 18th-ranked pass defense, the sketchiest unit of the two teams by far. They gave up 218.8 yards per game in the regular season and improved by just 11 yards in the postseason. Hurts will have opportunities to find AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith downfield for big gains. Whether he can exploit that favorable match-up could be the difference between a win for Philly or a historic three-peat for Kansas City.

Can Mahomes find holes in a stingy No. 1 pass defense? Can Travis Kelce come up big one more time and fuel his team to victory?

Will Barkley seize the moment and make the Super Bowl stage against the eighth-best rush defense in the league? It is safe to say 150 yards on the ground will be a far greater struggle than it has been in this MVP-worthy season.

There are plenty of questions to be answered in New Orleans but one seems fairly obvious: fans can expect a close game between two relatively even-matched opponents.
