Sportsbooks Split on Early Favorites to Win Super Bowl LX

The Philadelphia Eagles routed the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, 40-22, shutting down Kansas City’s bid to become the first franchise to win three consecutive Super Bowls. The stunning finale has bookmakers scrambling to identify a clear favorite for next year’s championship, with no consensus in sight.

  • BetMGM: Eagles (+650)
  • DraftKings: Eagles (+600)
  • FanDuel: Chiefs/Eagles co-favorites (+650)
  • ESPN BET: Chiefs/Ravens co-favorites (+650)

While Philadelphia’s statement win propelled them to the top of the odds board at BetMGM and DraftKings, FanDuel lists the Chiefs alongside the Eagles, and ESPN BET tags the Ravens even with Kansas City. The Chiefs’ lopsided defeat — they trailed 40-6 late before two garbage-time touchdowns — had a strong impact on their early futures, particularly at BetMGM, where they’re now tied for third with the Buffalo Bills (+750).

Eagles Eye Another Lombardi

Philadelphia’s recent success has them primed for another run. Quarterback Jalen Hurts, the reigning Super Bowl MVP, is just hitting his stride at 26, and the addition of star running back Saquon Barkley on a three-year deal paid immediate dividends during the Eagles’ title march. Now, with appearances in three of the past eight Super Bowls (and two victories), the Eagles lead or share the favorite spot at most major sportsbooks.

Chiefs Seek to Rebound

Kansas City still looms large in the AFC, with Patrick Mahomes guiding the team to the conference championship in five of the past six seasons. Sunday’s loss hardly erases their recent dominance, but they’ll have to recalibrate after falling just short of their historic quest for three straight rings.

Ravens Rising?

Baltimore, meanwhile, is on the cusp of taking the next step in the Lamar Jackson era. Despite not yet earning a ring with their star quarterback, the Ravens are near the top of most books’ futures. Sharing the conference with the Chiefs (and their five AFC crowns in six seasons) makes the road tougher, but oddsmakers appear bullish on the team’s chances of delivering Jackson his long-awaited Super Bowl appearance.

Who’s the Team to Beat?

All told, the books remain split on which franchise deserves “favorite” billing for Super Bowl LX. While Philadelphia’s recent triumph has vaulted them into top contention, Kansas City’s track record and Baltimore’s upside ensure the early odds are anything but settled. Expect plenty of movement in the coming months as offseason trades, free agency, and the NFL draft shape the betting landscape.
