2025 Super Bowl Exact Matchup Betting Odds and Predictions

by Mike Allen - 1/15/2025

Super Bowl exact matchup odds and predictions Chris Jones Kansas City Chiefs

With Super Bowl LIX just weeks away, I'm sure you've reviewed some potential matchups in your head. Right now, I want you to close your eyes. Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. Choose the two teams you believe we will see play on February 10.

Don't tell me. Is it the Detroit Lions vs the Kansas City Chiefs? I have good and bad news for you if that was your pick. The sportsbooks agree with you. Unfortunately, that's also the bad news.

You can only get about (+350) for this matchup. There are, of course, much more valuable betting odds for different exact matchups for Super Bowl LIX. You may be a believer in the only other Super Bowl-winning quarterback and head coach combo remaining besides Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes.

The Los Angeles Rams have a tall task going across the country to play in the City of Brotherly Love. However, if they get past the Eagles, I can see them hanging tough in a shootout with the Lions in the NFC Championship Game.

Troy Aikman was spot on when he said Matthew Stafford is streaky… but think about it. When he’s on, who would you rather have under center? Many would say Mahomes. However, for all intents and purposes, with today’s article, we only want to predict the exact matchup of Super Bowl LIX.

We have betting odds for every possible Super Bowl LIX matchup. I will do my best to give you the matchups with the best value while keeping it real.

Super Bowl LIX Exact Matchup Betting Odds

Kansas City Chiefs vs Detroit Lions: +350

I didn’t know any Kansas City fans growing up, but now there’s an entire Chiefs nation made up of bandwagon jumpers and, even worse than that, Taylor Swifties. Forgive me for bringing her up, but you had better get used to it.

KC looks much better after the return of their RB1, Isiah Pacheco. The player who will make the biggest difference for them offensively, however, is speedy receiver Hollywood Brown. Pacheco is good, but he isn’t changing the defense. Brown is fast enough to beat teams over the top.

Undoubtedly, the Detroit Lions have been the most impressive team this season. However, you don't have to be the best team all year to play in the Super Bowl. You only need to play your best ball at the right time, and no one does that better than KC.

Kansas City Chiefs vs Philadelphia Eagles: +500

The Kansas City Chiefs vs Philadelphia Eagles matchup is as likely for me as the one above. The Eagles have dug their talons into the mud when needed and proven to fans and bettors alike that they're a different animal on the defensive side of the ball than any of their NFC counterparts.

Baltimore Ravens vs Detroit Lions: +500

The Baltimore Ravens have dialed in their offensive and defensive game-planning to where it needs to be for a potential postseason run to Super Bowl LIX. Their issue mid-season was that they started to "get cute," as my dad would say.

They fell in love with the home run ball. I see it all the time in MMA. A wrestler gets a couple of knockouts and suddenly thinks he's Anderson Silva. He forgot what brought him to the dance.

In the Ravens’ Week 11 loss to the Steelers, Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson combined for just 17 carries. I remember writing about the LA Chargers matchup they had the next week and telepathically calling upon John Harbaugh to get back to the basics.

Thankfully for them, they listened. Hopefully, you can imagine the tongue-in-cheek here, but it’s true. In last week’s Wild Card Weekend matchup with Pittsburgh, the two-headed monster combined for 41 carries, and the results speak for themselves. They didn’t even need to pass the ball.

Buffalo Bills vs Detroit Lions: +550

We haven't spoken about the Buffalo Bills. With the Ravens' Zay Flowers highly questionable to go in this week's Divisional Round, there's a chance a bet on Baltimore to represent the AFC in Super Bowl LIX would soon be null.

However, I still like the matchup for the Ravens, as the Bills' weakness has been stopping the run.

Baltimore Ravens vs Philadelphia Eagles: +700

I love this matchup here and the betting value we're getting on a neighborly I-95 scrap. The issue is that neither team rested in the Wild Card Round, and they likely won't have home-field advantage in the Conference Championship games.

They aren’t inside teams who have to go outside at the end of the season, which could be a deal breaker if that’s the case.

Buffalo Bills vs Philadelphia Eagles: +800

I don’t see the Bills going into KC and beating the Chiefs for a second time this season. Buffalo isn’t the same team on the road as they are in Orchard Park, and it’s hard enough to beat the Chiefs once, let alone twice in the same season.

Kansas City Chiefs vs LA Rams: +1800

As good as they looked against Minnesota, that was more Sam Darnold returning to earth than anything else. The path is there, though, for another dome game if LA can get past Philly this week.

Super Bowl LIX Exact Matchup Best Bets

Houston is too banged up at the wide receiver position, and C.J. Stroud hasn't been himself lately, especially outside of H-Town. The Commanders are a lot of fun, but I believe their time is up...for now.

Baltimore Ravens vs Philadelphia Eagles: +700

This is my best of best bets. Even with the Lions lurking, I feel better about Philly than Baltimore. It's harder to pick the AFC representative than the NFC, but with the Ravens now defending the deep ball better than ever this season, they could be the best team in the league.

Kansas City Chiefs vs Philadelphia Eagles: +500

I have KC losing in a rematch to Baltimore should they play. However, without Flowers this week, Josh Allen has the chance to take over the game, cementing his claim for MVP. I know the award should only be for the regular season, but we're only human. And as much as we like to think we can delete info from our brains, it doesn't work like that.

Baltimore Ravens vs Detroit Lions: +500

Our final best bet for a Super Bowl LIX exact matchup is one we’ve never seen before. These are the two best running teams in the league. I favor Philly’s defense over the Lions’. However, with the return of David Montgomery, this machine may be too much for anyone.
