Jake’s Take: Super Bowl 59
With Super Bowl LIX just around the corner, this rematch between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles promises excitement. While the matchup may not be the freshest storyline, both teams have proven they deserve a spot on the biggest stage in football. It also is the biggest sports wagering event of the year, as Americans are expected to wager over $1.5B on the big game as now over 225 million Americans have access to legalized and regulated sports betting.

Why the Chiefs Stand Out
I’m backing the Chiefs on the moneyline as they chase history with a potential three-peat. Having witnessed multiple Super Bowls as a 49ers fan, I can attest to the almost inevitable impact of Patrick Mahomes in big games. His ability to elevate his play when it matters most leaves me no choice but to back the Chiefs on the moneyline. Data from our client Pikkit shows that 60% of bets and 58% of all money wagered are on the Chiefs to win, underscoring the confidence many bettors already have in their chances of hoisting another Lombardi Trophy.
Key Prop Bet: Xavier Worthy to Score
In addition to the overall win, I’m eyeing a prop bet on Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy to score a touchdown. Worthy has been on fire lately—scoring three touchdowns in his last four games—and his growing rapport with Mahomes could prove pivotal on the biggest stage. A $10 bet on Worthy to score would result in roughly a $16.50 return.
Notable Betting Trends and Novelty Props
It’s interesting to see how betting trends are shaping up. According to Pikkit’s tracking, there are more wagers on Saquon Barkley to score a touchdown than there are bets on either team to win the game. This reflects the widespread belief in his current hot streak and the growing interest in player props in key games such as this one.
For those who enjoy a bit of extra fun, some sportsbooks even offer novelty prop bets. One wager the whole world will be paying attention to is whether Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce get engaged following the game. If that does occur, a $10 wager would net a $75 profit. Some other creative props for the game include guessing the Gatorade color that will be dumped on the winning coach, what the first song Kendrick Lamar will play during the halftime show, and whether the opening coin toss will be heads or tails.
Final Thoughts
The Super Bowl is a day to enjoy great football, hang out with friends and family, and just have a good time—win or lose. With the Chiefs’ track record and Mahomes’ undeniable leadership, the data and market sentiment heavily favor Kansas City. I’m eager to see not only how the game unfolds on the field but also how the various betting angles play out in the days leading up to kickoff.
Jake’s Picks:
- Chiefs Moneyline
- Worthy TD
- Travis Kelce to propose to Taylor Swift after the game
Here’s to an unforgettable Super Bowl LIX!
