The Kansas City Chiefs are favorites to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX – and complete a historic three-peat.
That’s according to data analyzed by artificial intelligence to predict which teams are likely to meet in New Orleans next month.
The NFL Playoffs kick off this week, with the Chiefs and Detroit Lions ranked No. 1 in the AFC and NFC, respectively.
They are joined in the postseason by the Eagles, the Bills, the Ravens, the Vikings, the Steelers, the Buccaneers, the Chargers, the Texans, the Commanders, the Rams, the Broncos and the Packers.
Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Co have already won back-to-back Super Bowls and the numbers suggest they are the most likely to reach the showpiece again at the end of the season.
The data, compiled by BetVictor Canadagive Andy Reid’s side a 30 percent chance of surviving the playoffs, while the Eagles (22 percent) are expected to play them in New Orleans.

It would be a repeat of Super Bowl LVII, with the Chiefs favored 55 to 45 percent to win — just like they did two years ago.
The Green Bay Packers (4 percent), the Denver Broncos and the LA Rams (both 5 percent) are the biggest outsiders to reach Super Bowl LIX.
BetVictor used artificial intelligence to examine the 2024 regular season, looking at the team’s win-loss records, winning streaks, their schedule and playoff experience.
The Lions finished at the top of the standings in the NFC, but the numbers say they only have an 18 percent chance of reaching a first Super Bowl.
Despite being the No. 1 seed — and getting a bye into the divisional round of the playoffs — Detroit is expected to lose to the Eagles in the NFC Championship game.
The Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens are also expected to fall short, as data suggests they both have a 15 percent chance of reaching Super Bowl LIX.
The Bills, led by MVP candidate Josh Allen, begin their playoff bid against the Broncos on Sunday afternoon.
A few hours later, the Ravens – who have their own MVP-chasing quarterback Lamar Jackson – take on the Pittsburgh Steelers.
