With Super Bowl 59 just around the corner, excitement is at an all-time high. This could be a historic moment if the Kansas City Chiefs do what no team has ever done before – win three championships in a row. The Chiefs have already surpassed the eight teams that have attempted it, none of whom even made it back to the Super Bowl in their third year. Led by the only four players who have been in this amazing run, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Chris Jones and Harrison Butker, the Chiefs’ core is poised to make its fifth Super Bowl appearance in six years. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles continue to prove that they are one of the most consistent teams in the league and are headed to their third Super Bowl in eight seasons. They came up short against Kansas City two years ago with a roster almost identical to the one that played in 2023, but this year they have the addition of Offensive Player of the Year Saquon Barkley, and they’re looking for revenge.
Jason Kelce Parties Like a Super Bowl Winner
But while all eyes are on the game, Jason Kelce is stealing the spotlight in New Orleans with a celebration fit for a Super Bowl champion. The former Eagles center, who retired last year after 13 great seasons, has made the most of his time in the city. First he stole the show with a bizarre yet hilarious invasion of Jason Kelce lookalikes roaming the streets of New Orleans. Then his “New Heights” event on Wednesday turned into a star-studded extravaganza, with celebrities like Jon Hamm, Adam DeVine, Keegan-Michael Key and Flavor Flav joining the fun. Former NFL great Terrell Owens was also in attendance, adding to the party’s star-studded guest list. After the event, Jason and his wife Kylie were spotted at a Chris Stapleton concert and hanging out with actor Miles Teller, who is a die hard Eagles fan and his wife Keleigh.
But that’s not all, Jason continues to live the Super Bowl weel like it’s Mardi Gras, which starts next month. Now Kelce has been spotted in a casino betting at the craps table enjoying a good beer and it looks like he did well because some fans followed him all night long until he cashed in his winnings, will he bet everything on the Chiefs moneyline and Travis Kelce anytime touchdown? Anyway, Jason is using the week to have fun, because when his fourth child is born, he will probably have to play a more important role at home with his wife.
Jason has a lot to celebrate. First, his wife, Kylie, is pregnant with their fourth child, a baby girl. Second, his post-retirement career has taken off, with starring roles on two ESPN shows and his popular podcast “New Heights” with his brother Travis. Finally, no matter who wins on Sunday, he’ll be celebrating. If the Chiefs make history with a three-peat, he’ll be celebrating his brother’s incredible accomplishment. There’s even speculation that if Kansas City wins, Travis might use the occasion to propose to Taylor Swift. On the other hand, if the Eagles pull off the upset, Jason will have reason to celebrate as well, given his deep ties to the team and the city.
Super Bowl 59 Bets on the Horizon
As for the game itself, it’s shaping up to be another classic. This will be the ninth Super Bowl rematch in NFL history, and with the last three Super Bowls all being decided by three points, expect another nail-biter. The Chiefs have been the most dominant team since 2021, winning 52 games, but the Eagles, who are in second place, aren’t far behind with 49. Philadelphia’s strength has always been its balanced roster, and with a team almost identical to last year’s, they know exactly what it takes to go toe-to-toe with Kansas City. With underdogs winning 10 of the last 15 Super Bowls, anything can happen.
The total for the game is currently set at 48.5, a number that was easily surpassed two Super Bowls ago when these teams combined for 73 points. However, the UNDER has dominated lately, hitting in five of the last six Super Bowls, six of the last 10 and 12 of the last 20. The Eagles’ two most recent Super Bowl appearances both hit the OVER by more than 20 points, while only one of the Chiefs’ last four Super Bowls (against the Eagles) ended in the OVER. With a line between 48-50 points, I’d lean toward the OVER, especially considering the recent history between these two teams and the fact that I hate to bet the Under in big games.
