The final game of the NFL season will be Super Bowl LIX, which pits the Kansas City Chiefs against the Philadelphia Eagles. These are arguably the two best defensive teams in football this year, but there is plenty of offensive firepower on both sides as well. This matchup has created plenty of intrigue in the over/under market, with the Super Bowl 59 total being set at 48.5 going into this rematch of Super Bowl LVII.

Chiefs Offense vs Eagles Defense
Going into Super Bowl LIX, DraftKings Sportsbook expects a lower-scoring Super Bowl matchup than we would have had if the Bills had won the AFC instead of the Chiefs. The lookahead total for Bills vs Eagles was three points higher than the total for this game. And while Patrick Mahomes is nothing short of a magician, the Chiefs have been winning with defense instead of offense for the most part throughout this season.
For Philadelphia’s defense, staying disciplined is going to be the big key for this contest. Mahomes is so good at drawing mistakes out of opponents by extending plays and frustrating defenses with his mobility and creativity. If the Eagles can avoid foolish penalties and letting Mahomes get the upper hand mentally, the Eagles could hold Kansas City in check for the most part.
Eagles Offense vs Chiefs Defense
Philadelphia’s offense has been incredible this postseason, with Saquon Barkley enjoying an incredible playoff run. Barkley had three rushing touchdowns for the Eagles in the NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders. But Philadelphia’s offense is so much more than just Barkley, which they will look to prove in this dream Super Bowl matchup with the Chiefs.
On defense, the Chiefs are led by defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, who has made a habit of shutting down historically good offenses in Super Bowls. He led the New York Giants to a win over the previously undefeated New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII, holding one of the greatest offenses in NFL history to just 14 points. Here, Spagnuolo will need to be at the top of his game in creating a scheme to limit all of the different ways the Eagles can hurt opposing defenses.
Chiefs vs Eagles Over/Under Prediction For Super Bowl 59
Our best bet for the Chiefs vs Eagles over/under in Super Bowl LIX is for the under to cash at 48.5 points. Both of these teams have stars on the offensive side of the ball. But both teams are great at using their physicality to get opposing offenses out of their rhythm. We expect that to happen here, in what should be a lower-scoring Super Bowl than the 38-35 game these teams played in Super Bowl LVII.
