Las Vegas Sportsbook Has Clear Preference For Super Bowl 59 Matchup
01/25/2025 10:11 AM
It won't be long before Super Bowl 59 is officially set. With that said, it appears there's one matchup that would benefit sportsbooks in Las Vegas.
On Sunday afternoon, the Philadelphias Eagles will host the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship. While a lot of fans will be pulling for Jayden Daniels and the Commanders, it's very clear that Las Vegas favors the Eagles. To be fair, they have a much better roster from top to bottom.
As for the AFC Championship, fans got exactly what they wanted. The Buffalo Bills will take on the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. This has been the dream matchup for most fans since Week 1.
Although the majority of bets are being placed on the Bills, it's becoming very apparent that Vegas would benefit from the Chiefs getting back to the Super Bowl. In fact, a Chiefs-Eagles rematch in the Super Bowl would be the best-case scenario for most sportsbooks.
"Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl. The public is all over the underdogs to win, and [Chiefs-Eagles] would generate great action," trading manager Christian Cipollini said.
Sportsbooks aren't just pulling for Chiefs and Eagles victories this weekend, they're hoping for low-scoring games.
"Saquon and Josh Allen staying out of the end zone would be great for us on Sunday, too," Cipollini added. "And of course, we need the Under in both of these semifinal matchups."
After hearing these remarks from Cipollini, fans are convinced that Sunday's games will be "rigged" for Philadelphia and Kansas City.
The NFC Championship Game will kick off at 3 p.m. ET on FOX. Tom Brady and Kevin Burkhardt will be on the call.
The AFC Championship Game, meanwhile, is set to begin at 6:30 p.m. ET on CBS. As always, Jim Nantz and Tony Romo will be in the booth for their network.
