The stars seem to be aligning for the Kansas City Chiefs to get revenge for Super Bowl LIX. After getting destroyed by the Philadelphia Eagles in the final game of the season, the Chiefs’ front office got to work and surrounded Patrick Mahomes with most of everything that he needs to get back to the Super Bowl.

Baltimore Ravens considered the NFL favorite to make and win Super Bowl LX
Staff from NFL.com and NFL Network were asked to make Super Bowl predictions ahead of the 2025 season. There was an overwhelming favorite and it wasn’t the Chiefs: the Baltimore Ravens led the way with 16 votes to win Super Bowl LX.
Right behind the Ravens were the Buffalo Bills, who came in with five votes. The Chiefs were behind the Bills with three votes. Five other teams got mentions, with one vote apiece.
- Cincinnati Bengals
- Denver Broncos
- Green Bay Packers
- Los Angeles Rams
- Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles only being picked by one analyst is certainly surprising. They didn’t lose many key pieces and are still highly considered the most talented team in the league, one season after crushing their competition on their way to a ring.
