Three bets and one parlay to make in the Eagles-Chiefs game

The Philadelphia Eagles (8-1) take on the Kansas City Chiefs (7-2) in a primetime Super Bowl rematch showdown on Monday night.

The Philadelphia Eagles (8-1) take on the Kansas City Chiefs (7-2) in a primetime Super Bowl rematch showdown on Monday night. Besides the many storylines surrounding this game all week, this may be quite a fun game to bet on since both teams are atop the NFL right now.

BetMGM has the Chiefs winning the game at (-150) odds, while the Eagles are (+125) underdogs. Check out great bets and a parlay ahead of the primetime matchup.

T. Kelce Anytime TD

I think even with Taylor Swift not at the game, Kelce is still going to find a way to score. This bet almost feels like a lock for the Chiefs each week, but particularly against their Super Bowl rival, Kelce is going to find the end zone at some point.

D. Smith Anytime TD

Because A.J. Brown thrived lately, the Chiefs are going to be scheming against stopping him. While Brown is (potentially) locked down, Hurts will have to look to his other unstoppable wide receiver, DeVonta Smith, for a touchdown during the game.

Over 45.5 Total Points

Let’s be real. This game will either be really back-and-forth or both defenses will show up to the plate. This over is certainly going to hit if it’s anything like the Super Bowl, where both teams put up at least 35+ points each.

Super Bowl LVII: 4 things the Eagles must do to beat the Chiefs

How can the Eagles beat the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII? Doug Farrar has four things Philly must do to take the Lombardi Trophy home.

We did not really expect this at the end of their 2021 season, when they were thumped, 31-15, by the Buccaneers in the wild-card round, but the Eagles come into Super Bowl LVII having fully earned their place in this game as the NFL’s most complete team on both sides of the ball. General manager Howie Roseman has done an amazing job in filling the roster holes, the coaching staffs have been great in putting all those assets in the right places, and Jalen Hurts has answered the franchise’s most important question by becoming the franchise quarterback everybody hoped he could be.

As effective and as explosive as the Chiefs can be at any given point in time — and the Eagles will have to counter that in all kinds of ways — it’s also true that Philly just has more paths to victory in this game. This doesn’t automatically give the Eagles the second Lombardi Trophy in franchise history, because their opponent has an estimable cadre of skill players, and there are ways in which the Chiefs can pull off what seems like a bit on an upset.

We’ve given Kansas City a punch sheet of things they need to do in order to win Super Bowl LVII.

Super Bowl LVII: 4 things the Chiefs must do to beat the Eagles

The Kansas City Chiefs will have to do these four things if they’re to beat the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII.

As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare for their third Super Bowl in the last four seasons, they are well aware that in the Philadelphia Eagles, they might well be facing the toughest of all their Super Bowl opponents. The Eagles, expertly constructed by general manager Howie Roseman and his staff, and coached just as well by Nick Sirianni and his guys, don’t appear to have a real weakness.

When facing a team this complete, and considering that team’s ability to break into any of your own vulnerabilities, it becomes more important than ever to maximize the things you do well, bump the trends that are in your favor, and hide as much as you can those things that could have you losing the biggest game of the season.

Here are four things the Chiefs will have to do if they want the franchise’s third Lombardi Trophy.
