The Philadelphia Eagles will face the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 12. Nick Sirianni's side have been irresistible this season and are tipped as favorites to lift the Lombardi Trophy at the State Farm Stadium in Arizona this weekend.
Based on the latest 2023 Super Bowl odds from Caesars Sportsbook, the Eagles are the 1.5-point favorites to win the big game.
Many believe that Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts' impeccable run this season puts the Eagles in pole position to win the Super Bowl. Moreover, the Chiefs are sweating over the fitness of their talisman Patrick Mahomes, who has been dealing with a high-ankle sprain throughout the playoffs.
This is the first time that Mahomes has been the underdog in a postseason game. Meanwhile, Hurts is having the best season of his career and the Eagles will be hoping that he now delivers on the big stage.
What is the history of the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl?
The Eagles have played in three Super Bowls prior to the 2023 game. They have managed just one victory in the final, which came in 2018.
Here are the results of all of Philadelphia's Super Bowl games:
- 1980 season: Lost Super Bowl XV vs the Oakland Raiders, 27-10
- 2004 season: Lost Super Bowl XXXIX vs the New England Patriots, 24-21
- 2017 season: Won Super Bowl LII vs the New England Patriots, 41-33
How has the Philadelphia Eagles' head coach impacted their chances of winning the Super Bowl?
The Eagles appointed Nick Sirianni as their head coach in 2021. In just his second season with the team, the 41-year-old has led Philadelphia to the Super Bowl.
Sirianni has changed the way the Eagles play their football. He has implemented a tight system and kept his offense ticking throughout the season. Quarterback Jalen Hurts has enjoyed the best season of his career and has been thriving under Sirianni.
Sirianni has also tightened the Eagles' rearguard. Philadelphia conceded the least amount of points in the postseason this term and have dealt exceedingly well with opposition threats.
What is the team strategy for the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl?
For the Eagles, their offense remains their strongest department. Hurts will be critical to their chances of winning the big game against the Chiefs.
Moreover, the Eagles will need to keep opposition quarterback Patrick Mahomes quiet on Sunday. Another solid performance from the Philadelphia backline could see them lift the Lombardi Trophy this weekend.
How have the Philadelphia Eagles fared so far?
The Philadelphia Eagles finished the regular season with a 14-3 record, the joint-best with the Chiefs. As Philadelphia topped the overall NFC standings, they received a first-round bye in the playoffs.
In their divisional round matchup, the Eagles trounced the New York Giants 38-7. Jalen Hurts threw for 154 yards and two touchdowns, but he also ran for 34 and a score on the ground after getting back to full fitness.
Philadelphia then took down the San Francisco 49ers 31-7, with minimal fuss in the NFC Championship game. They will now face Mahomes and the Chiefs in the Super Bowl.
The Eagles have looked sharp in their offense all season. It will be interesting to see whether Philadelphia will change its approach against one of the most balanced sides in the NFL in their final game of the season. Only time will tell.
