It will be a rematch of Super Bowl 57 when the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles meet again in Super Bowl 59. Their battle for the Lombardi Trophy 2 years ago was a thriller, with Kansas City emerging victorious 38-35. There were 6 different touchdown scorers in that shootout, including Jalen Hurts with 3 on the ground (plus 1 passing TD to A.J. Brown). Who will find the endzone this time around?

Xavier Worthy, WR, Chiefs (+155 at FanDuel)
The Bills were victims of their own demise after letting the Chiefs get Worthy thanks to a draft-day trade between the 2 teams in 2024. We all knew how that was going to turn out, and – sure enough – Worthy played a big role as Kansas City beat Buffalo again in the playoffs. The rookie out of Texas caught 6 of 7 targets (and yes, his especially amazing catch was indeed a catch) for 85 yards and 1 touchdown in the AFC Championship. That was nothing new for Worthy, either. In the regular season he scored 6 TDs to go along with 59 receptions on 98 targets for 638 yards. The 21-year-old found the endzone in each of his last 2 regular-season contests and came close to being the first TD scorer in a Divisional Round win over the Houston Texans but got tackled at the 1-yard line before Kareem Hunt did the rest of the work. Patrick Mahomes has a ton of confidence in Worthy right now; don’t be surprised if that duo connects for another TD in the Super Bowl.
Jalen Hurts, QB, PHI (-105 at DraftKings)
There’s no need to overthink this one. Getting Hurts at close to even money is a steal. He scored 14 rushing touchdowns during the regular season and already has 4 through 2 playoff games – including 3 in the NFC Championship against the Washington Commanders. The tush push is pretty much unstoppable – at least whenever the Eagles are the ones who are running it (we all saw how it turned out for the Bills). And it’s not like that’s the only way Hurts can score on the ground; he is a fantastic running QB who can go all the way from anywhere on the field. Also, you can’t forget that Hurts had 3 rushing TDs in Super Bowl 57 against Kansas City. In fact, the Alabama and Oklahoma product scored a touchdown in all 3 postseason games that season. When the lights are brightest, Hurts is happy to do much of the work himself.
