On February 9, fans of the Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, and just football in general will have plenty of rooting interest in Super Bowl LIX.
The expansion of legal sports betting has allowed fans to enjoy Super Sunday on a different level, with the American Gaming Association estimating that almost $68 million Americans bet on Super Bowl odds last February.
This year, some bettors will be pulling for the underdog Eagles, while others cheer on a Chiefs’ three-peat. But who are the sportsbooks rooting for in Chiefs vs. Eagles?

Early money has sportsbooks rooting for Kansas City
When it comes to the odds to win Super Bowl LIX, there are plenty of Philadelphia Eagles fans on the other side of the counter.
According to betting splits, the Kansas City Chiefs hold the highest liability of the two teams traveling to New Orleans. The Chiefs were the second-most wagered on team to win the Super Bowl this season and have the most money tied up in their championship chances.
That said, Kansas City’s Big Game price tag was never that large. The Chiefs opened around +750 as the second overall favorite (behind San Francisco at +500), and with every win in the regular season, those futures odds got tighter and tighter.
The Chiefs entered the playoffs at +350 — behind only Detroit — and that slimmed to +250 ahead of last weekend’s AFC Championship Game. With Buffalo dispatched, K.C. is now sitting around -125 to hoist a third straight Lombardi Trophy.
As for the Eagles, they hit the futures books at +1600 and were still around +1200 after two months of play. Philadelphia dropped from +850 to +650 at the end of November and entered the postseason at +700 odds to win SBLIX — a spot that had more to do with liability on the Lions in the NFC.
Philly jumped from +700 to +400 after beating Green Bay and moved to a +180 Big Game favorite after escaping the Rams — a significant shift in the Super Bowl odds due to Detroit’s upset loss to Washington. The Eagles are currently priced between +105 and +110 to defeat the Chiefs on February 9.
While Philadelphia offered longer odds than Kansas City during the course of the schedule, it only garnered 7.5% of the ticket count and 9% of the handle (total money on SBLIX futures book). Those splits sit behind the Lions, Chiefs, Bills, and Ravens in terms of betting interest.
As it stands, Kansas City is a liability to bookmakers but there’s a lot of time to sand the edges of that market, and there will be no shortage of support on the Eagles’ moneyline at plus-money. If bookies play their cards right, they’ll pad any risk with the Chiefs before kickoff.
