NextImg:2025 Super Bowl predictions: Expert picks for Chiefs-Eagles

The Post staff makes their Super Bowl predictions ahead of Sunday’s game between the Eagles and Chiefs.

Philadelphia is a 1.5-point underdog on BetMGM, with the moneyline coming in at -105.

The game’s total is set at 48.5 (-110/-110).

I have massive respect for the Eagles, who probably have the more complete roster and would win the position-by-position breakdown. But the Chiefs are better at the most important position: quarterback. Patrick Mahomes is a cold-blooded killer in the clutch. The Eagles’ strength is running back Saquon Barkley, and Steve Spagnuolo’s K.C. defense hasn’t allowed a 100-yard rusher in 19 games this season. 

The Chiefs have been finding ways to win all season. That doesn’t change in the Super Bowl. Patrick Mahomes pulls off the three-peat and makes his case as the greatest quarterback of all time. 

The Chiefs rediscover their throwback offense-fueled path to victory. Saquon Barkley will snap the Chiefs’ streak of 18 straight playoff games without allowing a 100-yard rusher under defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, but Patrick Mahomes gets the ball last and does what he does best.

The Season of Saquon ends with another show-stopping performance and an MVP award for Saquon Barkley. The Eagles are stronger across the line of scrimmages, and the Chiefs have been winning on the margins for too long. There is a reason why no team has ever achieved a three-peat. 

Grandmaster chess matches pitting Andy Reid versus Vic Fangio and Kellen Moore versus Steve Spagnuolo. Saquon Barkley gets 100 yards on his birthday, but Patrick Mahomes smells a three-peat. 

The Chiefs don’t only know how to win football games, don’t only know how to win close football games, they know how to win gut-crunch games with the world watching. They’ve trailed in the fourth quarter in all three of their Super Bowl wins with Mahomes. I won’t presume otherwise until I see it.
