Specifically, the Kansas City Chiefs will play in their third Super Bowl in four seasons on Sunday. By contrast, the Philadelphia Eagles will compete in their first Super Bowl in five years.

Super Bowl LVII Eagles vs. Chiefs SBG Odds Overview
At the onset of sports betting action, the Eagles are favored by 1.5 points. And there are many gamblers astonished by that number. It is true that the Chiefs were hobbling at the end of their AFC championship game win over the Cincinnati Bengals. But Kansas City will have two weeks to heal and prepare. While there is no way anyone on the outside will know the extent of the Chiefs’ health, it is safe to assume two weeks will help.
Philadelphia’s status as the favorite has a lot of public emotion attached to it. Casual market gamblers were wowed by the Eagles’ domination of the San Francisco 49ers. Sharps will point out that the 49ers did not have a credible quarterback. But squares will squeal that it doesn’t matter.
