Super Bowl weekend is now up on us, with the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles bidding to be crowned NFL champions in New Orleans on Sunday night.
Betfair are offering new customers massive boosted odds of 50/1 for Philadelphia’s Saquon Barkley (who ran by far the most rushing yards in the NFL this season) to have the most rushing yards in Sunday’s Super Bowl, which they can opt-in to by following this link*.

The 2024 NFL season saw the Eagles’ running back become the latest member of the 2,000 yard club, with Barkley just the ninth player in history to reach the landmark in regular season history.
The newly crowned Offensive Player of the Year finished 84 yards clear of the next best, a fellow 2,000 yard club member Derrick Henry, who achieved the feat in 2020 with the Tennessee Titans, and more than 500 yards clear of the next best, Atlanta’s Bijan Robinson.
The Kansas City Chiefs head into Sunday night’s Super Bowl in New Orleans as the favourites for victory having finished the regular season with the joint-best record in the league with 15-2.
Andy Reid’s side are looking to become the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Vince Lombardi trophies, and this will be their fourth Super Bowl appearance in the last five years, winning three.
The Chiefs will be led by their superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes who is looking to win his fourth career Super Bowl title at the age of just 29, who led them to play off victories over the Houston Texans in the Divisional Round followed by a narrow and controversial win over the Buffalo Bills in the Championship Round.
Chiefs v Eagles will be a rematch of the Super Bowl from two years ago when the Missouri side won 38-35 in a high scoring game in Arizona, and Philadelphia will be desperate for revenge this time around.
Nick Sirianni’s Eagles went into the play offs as the NFC’s number two seed, beating the Green Bay Packers and the LA Rams en route to the Championship game against a sixth seed Washington Commanders who had just shocked the top seeded Detriot Lions the previous week.
The 14-3 Eagles were too much for the 12-5 Commanders though as the Pennsylvania side stormed to a 55-23 victory to reach their third Super Bowl in eight years, having last lifted the Lombardi Trophy back in 2018 with a win against the New England Patriots.
The Eagles missed their starting quarterback Jalen Hurts for the last three games for the regular season with concussion and a broken finger, but the 26-year-old recovered in time to spark their play off run into life, culminating in Sunday night’s grand finale.
Kansas City have won four of their last five matches against Philadelphia, including in the Super Bowl two years ago, but the Eagles did win their most recent meeting with the Chiefs, winning 21-17 at Arrowhead Stadium in November 2023.
