Super Bowl LIX is just days away, and it will feature a rematch between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. The Chiefs will try to become the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowl titles. Meanwhile, the Eagles are looking for their second Super Bowl championship.
While both teams have elite players on offense and defense, DraftKings establishes how the game could unfold. As of February 4, the sportsbooks have the over/under for Super Bowl LIX at 48.5. In that case, both teams could play conservatively by taking care of the ball and going on long drives.
The Eagles could dominate time of possession by establishing their vaunted rushing attack led by running back Saquon Barkley and quarterback Jalen Hurts. As an example, they had a 21-play, 88-yard drive against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which ended up eating ten minutes and 29 seconds of the game clock. The Steelers didn’t get the ball back, resulting in a 27-13 Eagles victory.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs reached the 30-point mark for the first time this season during their AFC Championship Game victory over the Buffalo Bills. They have been sensational in situational football, resulting in one-possession victories with low scores.
Regardless of the outcome, this matchup could have the makings of an exciting game. Every possession will count as the game could go down to the wire.
