What are the Eagles' Super Bowl LX odds?

The Philadelphia Eagles had a sensational 2024/25 season. The Eagles powered through the regular season with excellent running from superstar RB Saquon Barkley, assured passing from eventual Super Bowl MVP QB Jalen Hurts and a stingy defense curated by Vic Fangio.

They bounced through the playoffs, beating the Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Rams and Washington Commanders. Super Bowl LIX was the crowning moment of the campaign, as they beat the two-time defending Super Bowl champs, the Kansas City Chiefs. Hence, they enter the upcoming season as favorites to retain the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
