Just three games remain in the 2025 NFL playoffs, so there’s no better time to start looking ahead to Super Bowl 59.
The Big Game will take place on Sunday, Feb. 9, at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. But which teams will represent the AFC and NFC? And who is the best bet to lift the Lombardi Trophy right now?
Let’s examine the latest Super Bowl 59 odds and discuss the cases for the four remaining teams.

Super Bowl 59 Best Bet
Kansas City Chiefs (+220)
Do I even need to explain this one?
The Chiefs have won back-to-back Lombardi Trophies and been to four Super Bowls in the past five seasons (winning three). And sure, Patrick Mahomes and Co. lucked into a few wins during the regular season, but they will host the AFC Championship Game once again after losing just twice all year.
The Kansas City offense hasn’t been as explosive as it has been in years past. However, Mahomes hasn’t had his full complement of weapons healthy for most of the season, and there’s a chance that the best is yet to come. Meanwhile, Steve Spagnuolo’s defense continues to hold down the fort, allowing fewer than 20 points per game.
The best part about betting the Chiefs right now is that their odds aren’t all that different from what they were in the preseason (+550). Kansas City should be the favorite until someone knocks the defending champs from their throne.
Back Andy Reid’s squad to complete a historic three-peat as one of your best NFL bets today.

Super Bowl 59 Contenders
Philadelphia Eagles (+180)
Philadelphia was my favorite preseason Super Bowl bet at (+1700), so hopefully, you got on board at that number. The Eagles have been among the league’s most impressive teams all season, winning the NFC East with a 14-3 mark.
Vic Fangio’s defense has taken a significant step forward in his second season as defensive coordinator, leading the NFL in yards per game allowed (278.4) and ranking second in scoring defense (17.8 points per game allowed). That unit has made the difference thus far in the postseason, forcing pivotal turnovers against the Packers and Rams.
On the other side of the ball, the offseason addition of Saquon Barkley from the rival Giants was a masterstroke. The 27-year-old rushed for a league-best 2,005 yards and scored 15 total touchdowns behind one of the league’s top offensive lines. Barkley has continued that torrid pace in the playoffs, rushing for 324 yards and a pair of scores on 51 carries.
My concern moving forward is quarterback Jalen Hurts, who appeared to suffer a knee injury in the Rams’ game but didn’t miss any time. If his mobility is limited, this offense will be limited.
Buffalo Bills (+260)
There’s plenty to like about this Bills team, and taking Buffalo at this slightly longer number is tempting.
Despite losing top target Stefon Diggs in the offseason, quarterback Josh Allen had arguably the best season of his career, accounting for over 4,250 yards and 40 total touchdowns (12 rushing) while committing just seven turnovers.
Still, we’ve seen this movie before with the Bills. They’ve beaten the Chiefs plenty in the regular season. Can they overcome a series of early exits in the postseason? That question has yet to be answered and will define Allen’s season (and potentially his legacy in Buffalo).
At similar prices, I prefer backing the Chiefs.
Super Bowl 59 Sleeper
Washington Commanders (+800)
History is not on the side of the Commanders, as no rookie quarterback has ever led his team to the Super Bowl, let alone won it. But given what we’ve seen so far from Jayden Daniels, I’m starting to believe that could change.
Washington’s sensational signal-caller didn’t blink in his first two road playoff starts, accounting for over 650 total yards and four touchdowns without committing a turnover in victories over the Buccaneers and Lions. His poise in the big moments is uncanny for a rookie, and he doesn’t seem flustered by anything.
That presence will be tested this week in Philadelphia, where Daniels and the Commanders fell 26-18 in Week 11 against arguably the league’s best defense. However, he fared much better in the second meeting, throwing five touchdown passes in a 36-33 home victory in Week 16.
If Washington’s defense can continue to make impact plays and doesn’t force Daniels to match scores all afternoon, the Commanders could make their first Super Bowl appearance since 1991. I’m intrigued at this price, especially given the potential injury concerns with Jalen Hurts.
