Trends to Know Ahead of Kickoff

Chiefs vs Eagles Odds

• Money line: Kansas City Chiefs (+110) vs Philadelphia Eagles (-130)
• Spread: Philadelphia Eagles -2.0
• Total: 49.5

Online sportsbooks have opened with the NFC Champion Eagles as two-point favorites against the dynasty-in-progress Chiefs. Game and score props are also available and may have some attractive value for bettors to make in advance of the game.

On the season both the Chiefs and Eagles have been relatively average against the spread, with Kansas City finishing at an underwhelming 8-11 and Philadelphia at 10-9 throughout the whole season. Against playoff teams, the Eagles are 6-2 ATS primarily versus the NFC East. The Chiefs on the other hand are an even 5-5 ATS on the season.

While the total comes in at a big 49.5 points, each team has gone under that number in both playoff games this year. In each of their last five games, the over is equally 1-4.

An especially important thing to note is the extra week off between the conference championships and Super Bowl, which will provide Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce among others a chance to heal up and play at 100%.

Early Prop Worth Considering

Many NFL sportsbooks have taken the liberty of posting early game and score props for the Super Bowl.

Among these, a particularly intriguing option is for both teams to score over 19.5 points, which sits at -130 odds. As two of the most dynamic and consistent offenses throughout the year, 20 points each should be a strong value for bettors.

Throughout the year, the Chiefs have failed to score 20 points just one time, all the way back in week three vs the Indianapolis Colts. This pairs up well with the Eagles, who only had two such games total and only one when breakout QB Jalen Hurts plays.

Odds and the spread are sure to change in the coming weeks as both teams begin to prepare for the biggest game of the year, allowing privy early bettors to snag good values and get a leg up on sportsbooks.
