Predictions, Odds and Betting Preview for the NFL Super Bowl LVII on Sunday, February 12, 2023
Kansas City Chiefs (+105) vs Philadelphia Eagles (-125) / Sunday, January 29 / 3:00 PM E.T.
We should expect nothing less than a magnificent game to cap off one of the best NFL seasons in recent memory, since Super Bowl LVII will feature the two best teams of the season in their respective conferences.
The Chiefs dominated the AFC West from start to finish with a 14-3 record, and those numbers were good enough for them to get the best record in the American Conference.
With the first bye week under their belt, Andy Reid’s team reached the Divisional Round with a 20-27 win over the Jaguars and then defeated the Bengals in the Conference Final with a 20-23 score.
Kansas City comes into this game as the best offense in the league thanks to Patrick Mahomes. The quarterback, who is expected to earn MVP of the regular season, claims that the ankle pain that kept him doubtful to play against Cincinnati has passed.
As for the Eagles, they started the campaign with an 8-0 record and finished not only as leaders of the tough NFC East but also as the best team in the National Conference with a 14-3 record.
Like its Super Bowl opponent, Philadelphia had a week off before crushing the Giants 7-38 in the Divisional Round and the 49ers in the Conference Final with a 7-31 slate.
The Eagles finished second in touchdowns behind the Chiefs and no team scored more TDs on the ground than they did; meanwhile, on defense they got 70 QB sacks, two shy of the league record, and no one allowed fewer passing yards than their secondary.
Prediction: Under.

Super Bowl LVII Betting Odds
Super Bowl MVP
Ten of the last 15 Super Bowl MVPs have been quarterbacks and next Sunday, February 12, the trend should continue with both teams relying 100 percent on what Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes can do. Other strong candidates include Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown.
Who Will Score the First TD of the Game?
We somewhat rely on chance to determine which team will gain from receiving the ball first in order to answer this question. Although this does not ensure that they will score on their opening offensive series, tight end Travis Kelce and Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who poses a threat on the ground, are currently the favorites.
Who Will Have the Most Passing Yards?
Of course, the rivals in this category are Mahomes and Hurts. Both are excellent quarterbacks but the Chiefs’ QB has a much more solid passing game than the Eagles’; this is evident when we see that Mahomes was the first in total passing yards with 5,250 and Hurts finished 10th with 3,701.
Who Will Have the Most Rushing Yards?
While these two offenses are among the best in the circuit, the Eagles’ offense focuses much more on the ground game than the Chiefs’. Philadelphia was Top-3 attacking on the ground this campaign and Miles Sanders was fifth in total yards on the ground with 1,269. Jalen Hurts ran for over 700 and in Kansas City the leader was Isiah Pacheco with 830.
Who Will Make an Interception?
The betting favorite in Las Vegas is C.J. Gardner-Johnson, the Eagles safety who finished co-leader in interceptions with six. Philadelphia was the fourth-best intercepting team with 17, while Kansas City, which finished with the 10th-lowest total with 10, had L’Jarius Seed and Juan Thornhill with three each.
