Another football season comes to an end

In 2024-25 weā€™ve witnessed many changes while some things remain the sameā€¦

*The Kansas City Chiefs are headed back to the Super Bowl

*We may have seen the last of Aaron Rodgers

*Who would have thought that a player could com in this season and impress more than CJ Stroud did last year.
But Jayden Danielā€™s did just that

*The Tampa Bay Bucs won their 4th NFC South division title in a row

*Lamar Jackson goes down in the playoffs yet again

*The Detroit Lions went 15-2 despite being decimated with injuries all season

*The Denver Broncos may be on the rise with QB Bo Nix

*SF 49ers disappointed & surprised finishing last place in their division

*Joe Burrow & the Bengals got hot but a little too late

*The Giants & Titans are picking & 1st and 3rd in the draft and should be heading into next season with new rookie Quarterbacks

*Despite receiving blame for the Vikingsā€™ playoff loss, Sam Darnold is still looking over his shoulder gorRamsā€™ defenders

*Baker Mayfield has become one of the better QBs in the league and for the 2nd year in a row got his offensive coordinator a head coaching job (Liam Coen -Jags ; Dave Canales - Panthers)

*After looking like a sure bust, Carolinaā€™s Bryce Young turned things around and now looks promising

Thereā€™s so much more but the biggest thing that will stand out from this season is of the Chiefs can 3peat

GL with the action everyone & enjoy the big game šŸ‘šŸ¼

Eagles boast clear favorites to score first TD in Super Bowl 59​

LV REVIEW JOURNAL SUBSCRIPTION

Christian McCaffrey. Jalen Hurts. Odell Beckham Jr. Rob Gronkowski. Patrick Mahomes.

Those are the last five first touchdown scorers in the Super Bowl, which is annually one of the most popular props in the NFL title game.


Hurts scored on a 1-yard rush, via the Eaglesā€™ patented ā€œtush push,ā€ to open the scoring in Philadelphiaā€™s 38-35 loss to Kansas City in Super Bowl 57.

The Eagles quarterback recently sprinted 44 yards for a touchdown to open the scoring in Philadelphiaā€™s 28-22 triumph over the Rams in the divisional playoffs.

In the NFC title game, running back Saquon Barkley broke free for a 60-yard touchdown run on the Eaglesā€™ first play from scrimmage in their 55-23 win over Washington.

Not surprisingly, Barkley is the clear +475 favorite at Circa Sports to score the first touchdown in Super Bowl 59 on Sunday in New Orleans, and Hurts is the clear +650 second choice.

ā€œYou usually donā€™t see a team thatā€™s got two guys as low as Philadelphia does,ā€ Westgate SuperBook vice president of risk Ed Salmons said. ā€œBut the Eagles are a unique team where if Barkleyā€™s not running in some long touchdown and the ballā€™s anywhere near the 1, we know whatā€™s coming, and it just hasnā€™t been stopped.ā€

At Station Sports, Barkley leads the ticket count for first touchdown scorer with 22 percent of the market.

ā€œWeā€™re probably going to be rooting against Barkley scoring the first touchdown,ā€ Red Rock Resort sportsbook director Chuck Esposito said. ā€œThe game script is such an important part. If theyā€™re on the 1, youā€™ve got to think itā€™s the tush push and itā€™s going to be Hurts. If theyā€™re outside the 2 or 3, youā€™ve got to make Barkley a huge favorite.

ā€œHe has the game-breaking ability to take it to the house from 90 at any point. But heā€™s going up against a really good defense, and the real key is if he will get the touches in the red zone.ā€

Barkley and Mahomes are the ticket leaders at BetMGM, where Barkley and Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt are the money leaders.

Mahomesā€™ history


Mahomes is 22-1 at MGM to score the first touchdown. The Kansas City quarterback scored on a 1-yard run to give the Chiefs a 7-3 lead over the 49ers en route to a 31-20 win in the 2020 Super Bowl. He didnā€™t score a touchdown against the Eagles in Super Bowl 57.

Hunt, the 9-1 third favorite at MGM, scored the first touchdown in both of Kansas Cityā€™s playoff games this year. He ran it in from 12 yards out to put the Chiefs up 7-0 in their 32-29 triumph over Buffalo in the AFC championship game. Hunt also scored on a 1-yard run to give Kansas City a 13-3 lead over Houston en route to a 23-14 victory in the divisional playoffs.

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, the 10-1 fourth choice at MGM, is another popular pick to score the first touchdown. He scored Kansas Cityā€™s first touchdown in Super Bowl 57, when he caught an 18-yard pass from Mahomes on the Chiefsā€™ first drive to make it 7-7.

Kelce is the +435 second choice at Circa to be the player to score the Chiefsā€™ first touchdown. Hunt is the +425 favorite.

Barkley is the +177 favorite at Circa to score the Eaglesā€™ first touchdown, and Hurts is +310.

Long shots

Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is a popular value pick at Station, where heā€™s 25-1, and Philadelphia tight end Dallas Goedert is the largest liability at the Westgate, where heā€™s down to 14-1.

ā€œFor the most part, people try to bet a price,ā€ Salmons said.

Circa has posted prices on 108 players to score the first touchdown.

No touchdown scored pays 230-1. Chiefs backup quarterback Carson Wentz is 1,000-1. Eagles long snapper Nick Lovato and Kansas City long snapper James Winchester are the longest shots on the board at 10,000-1.

ā€˜Mattress Mackā€™ takes Mahomesā€™ advice to make Super Bowl pick​

Todd Dewey


Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs have been Mattress Mackā€™s nemesis in the playoffs.

Houston furniture store owner Jim ā€œMattress Mackā€ McIngvale lost $3 million in money line wagers in painful fashion betting against Kansas City in the 2020 playoffs: $1 million on the Texans, who blew a 24-0 lead in a 51-31 loss to the Chiefs in the divisional round; $1 million on the Titans, who squandered a 17-7 lead in a 35-24 loss to Kansas City in the AFC title game; and $1 million on the 49ers, who blew a 20-10 fourth-quarter lead in a 31-20 loss to the Chiefs in Super Bowl 54.

Kansas City also killed McIngvaleā€™s chances to win $9 million on the 2023 Super Bowl when it beat the Bengals 23-20 in the AFC title game. McIngvale had a $750,000 bet on Cincinnati at 12-1 odds to win it all.

When McIngvale crossed paths with Mahomes at the 2023 Kentucky he wasnā€™t exaggerating when he told him: ā€œYou cost me millions betting against you.ā€

The three-time Super Bowl MVP laughed and said: ā€œSorry about that one. Youā€™ve got to be with me next time.ā€

McIngvale, 73, said heā€™s not sure if heā€™ll place a bet or not on Sundayā€™s Super Bowl between the Eagles and Chiefs. Kansas City is consensus 1-point favorites to become the first team to win three Super Bowls in a row.

ā€œI might bet something toward the end of the week,ā€ McIngvale said. ā€œWeā€™ll see what happens.ā€

But heā€™s definitely not about to bet against Mahomes again.

ā€œI would bet on the Kansas City Chiefs,ā€ McIngvale said. ā€œThey beat me up too much. I canā€™t go against them. They always find a way to win.

ā€œI think Phillyā€™s real good but I donā€™t see how they can beat Mahomes and (coach Andy) Reid and all the experience theyā€™ve got.ā€

McIngvale recently lost $2 million in wagers on Texas: $1.5 million to win the College Football Playoff national championship and $500,000 to win the SEC title game. The bets were the latest in a series of multimillion-dollar wagers in recent years to reduce risk on promotions at his Gallery Furniture stores.

The consensus total on the Super Bowl is 49. It dipped to 48Ā½ on Wednesday at Circa Sports. The total also is 48Ā½ at BetMGM.

The Chiefs remain 1Ā½-point favorites at Station Sports, BetMGM and Boyd Gaming.

I didn't want to pick a side but I ultimately did go with Kansas City ML because how do you bet against God at Quarterback? Philly is a damn good team and they could upset KC's bid for three straight titles so I do have a piece of them with my Saquon MVP bet and Philly team total over but I just think this game is something like KC 28-24.

I can't believe people think KC can win this game.

I can't believe it.

Eagles with advantages all over the field.

Offensive line, defensive line, corner backs, receivers, running back.

The Chiefs only have Mahomes.

If he really was so good, why does he need the refs all the time for?
