Eagles can come out of the traps quickly
The Eagles were perhaps guilty earlier in the season of failing to hit the ground running in games, but that’s something Nick Sirianni’s side have addressed at the business end of the campaign.
Philadelphia scored with their opening play on offence in the 55-23 win over divisional rivals the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship game at Lincoln Financial Field.
The Eagles’ running game was outstanding in that clash and Philadelphia will be eager to test this Chiefs’ rushing defence from the off on Sunday.
Given the weapons quarterback Jalen Hurts has on offence, with the likes of Saquon Barkley, A.J Brown, DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert to name a few, there’s value to be had with the Eagles scoring over 6.5 points in the first quarter of Super Bowl LIX.
Big players for the big occasion
The Super Bowl is all about big moments and the big names who can shine when it counts.
Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been there and got the T-shirt when it comes to Super Bowl wins, as the Kansas City star already has three rings to his name.
Scoring two Super Bowl touchdowns in his career, Kelce is clearly a go-to option for Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Kelce bagging the opening touchdown at Super Bowl LIX is covered in the Double Chance 1st TD Score market in a combination with Barkley.
Former New York Giants star Barkley showed what he’s capable of scoring the opener against Washington and he now has 18 rushing touchdowns to his name this season.
Covering either Kelce or Barkley to score the opening touchdown on Sunday appeals at 23/10.
Hurts can sneak a couple
While Barkley is the major threat on the ground for the Eagles, when it comes to plays on a few yards out, Philadelphia relies on their tried and trusted “tush push”.
Hurts is the benefactor of a formidable offensive line that can drive over from close range with the quarterback in the centre of this tremendous force.
Scoring a hat-trick of rushing touchdowns against the Commanders, going over in both halves of that NFC Championship game, Hurts catches the eye at 9/1 to do the same against the Chiefs.
