The twice defending champion Chiefs is one step closer to completing a three-peat that has never been done in the Super Bowl era. They will have to review the increase Bills in the AFC Championship game (18:30 ET, CBS).

Who will play about Lombardi Trophy in New Orleans on February 9? We rounded the Super Bowl 59 predictions from NFL analysts and experts across the country:

Super Bowl 2025 predictions

Jacob Camenker, USA Today Sports: Chiefs vs. Eagles

“We are living in an era where entertainment companies are constantly emitting successors, nobody has asked for. Why should we expect something different ahead of the Super Bowl 59? Chiefs and Eagles Met Just in the Super Bowl 57. It will be difficult for a Super Bowl 57. Bowl 59-coming to live up to the high-scoring match.

“Jalen Hurts may not be 100 % due to his knee injury, but as long as he plays, it will open things more up to Eagles. Josh Allen has played at an MVP level and could finally get Bills over the hump, but it’s hard to justify choices against Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. “

Jack McKessy, USA Today Sports: Bills vs. Commanders

“It feels like 1991! (1992?) 33 years ago, these two teams met in the Super Bowl, and I think there’s a real chance we’ll get a revenge of the Super Bowl 26 this year.

“Quarterback Jalen Hurts is affected by a knee problem after already being virtually ineffective as a fitting player in these playoffs. And although Saquon Barkley Has better career numbers against commanders than against any other team, Washington proved last Saturday that a big day from a running back doesn’t matter if its offensive keeps gathering points.

“Quarterback Josh Allen has been So good This year, and he plays with the ultimate chip on the shoulder on Sunday night’s showdown with Chiefs. On paper, Buffalo’s list is better than Kansas City. There are so many useful weapons in Bills’ attacks, and I expect Allen to take full advantage of it. “

Nick Brinkerhoff, USA Today Sports: Chiefs VS Commanders

“The chiefs will be three-turf, which ‘the manuscript’ will reveal well in advance.

“On the NFC side, I still don’t believe in Eagles and it all comes to the quarterback. Jalen Hurts has to do with a knee injury, and Philadelphia flirted with the disaster until Mother Nature saved it from Rams. The Packers never pose a threat, And La spent the afternoon thawing, and Washington comes in as a fight -tested group that is not afraid of anyone. “

Tom Viera, USA Today Sports: Bills vs. Eagles

“I initially predicted that Chiefs’ offensive matches would show up against Allen and Bills in the AFC title match. Allen will eventually be the best player on the field through the playoffs and why Chiefs are unable to write history.

“The Eagles will check the pace behind Saquon Barkley, who ran for 150 and 146 yards against Washington in their regular seasonal meetings. Philadelphia returns to the Super Bowl for the second time in three seasons.”

John Breech, CBS SPORT: Chiefs vs Eagles

“If the commanders’ defense has struggled with one thing this year, then it is to stop the race, and if you can’t stop the race, the last guy in the world you want to face is Saquon Barkley.

“The Bills have had a fantastic season, but I simply can’t trust them away against a team that has zero home loss this year. Allen has the most playoff victories (7) of any QB in NFL’s history without reaching it to Super Bowl and he could put an end to that streak with a win here, but I don’t think it’s going to happen. “

Erik Beaston, Bleacher report: Chiefs vs Eagles

“In the third showdown between Eagles and Commanders this season, you can expect another close match that goes into the fourth quarter as a vomiting … Then MVP candidate Saquon Barkley does what he has done all season: deliver A careful dagger in the opponent’s hearts with a big race that puts the home team in front.

“If there was ever a year when a team like Buffalo, behind it should be MVP-Favorit Josh Allen, could go into Chiefs’ house and grab the AFC championship, it would be this year. But there is some playoff- magic around Chiefs, where Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce turn on the jets and roar past the opposition and arrive at the right connection at the right time. “
