Vegas Computer Model Predicting Blowout In Super Bowl 59

If the computer model from Odds Shark ends up being accurate, Super Bowl 59 may not have a dramatic fashion.

Last time the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles met in the Super Bowl, Nick Sirianni's squad had a 24-14 lead heading into halftime. Unfortunately for Philly, there was just no stopping Patrick Mahomes in the second half. He had not one but two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter, which ultimately led to a 38-35 win for the Chiefs.

As of this moment, Kansas City is the odds-on favorite for this Sunday's game. That makes sense considering the defending champions have dropped just two games since September.

Odds Shark, however, likes the Eagles to win Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans. Not only do they have them covering the spread, they have them pulling away from the Chiefs.

The current score prediction from Odds Shark has Philadelphia winning by a final score of 26-19.

From a motivation standpoint, the Eagles will be amped up for Super Bowl 59. They'd love to avenge their loss to the Chiefs from 2023. It certainly helps they have All-Pro running back Saquon Barkley on their roster for this rematch.

"I think even though I wasn't part of that team ... when you're able to develop a friendship and a relationship with these guys and be able to go to war with each other, it felt like I was," Barkley told reporters. "I know how, like I wasn't there, but I can feel in my own body how it felt for them and see the confetti fall in the wrong color and having to walk out. Definitely don't want to be part of that. That's definitely something that drives us. For those guys that have been a part of it, but also just want to get the job done and knowing how it is for those guys, how it felt, and doing everything I can in my ... ability to make sure that doesn't happen."

We'll see if Barkley ends up being the difference in this game.

Kickoff for Super Bowl 59 is at 6:30 p.m. ET. The game will be televised on FOX.
