We’ve finally reached the end of the 2024 season as Super Bowl LIX is a rematch of Super Bowl LVII with the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the Philadelphia Eagles. That means all Las Vegas Raiders fans will be decked out in green on Sunday to avoid seeing the Chiefs three-peat. Also, we’ve hit the final week of our Silver and Black Pride Pick’em competition!
To get things started, let’s take a look at the lines for the Super Bowl, courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook, and make some picks.
[Lines are as of 2/5 at 7:00 p.m. PST]
Chiefs vs. Eagles
- Spread: KC -1.5
- O/U: 48.5
- KC ML: -120
- PHI ML: +102
Holder’s picks: PHI +1.5, Under 48.5, PHI ML
I’m betting with my heart this week as I can’t stand to see Kansas City take home another championship. Roster for roster, the Eagles have more talent, it’s just a matter of if they can overcome not having the superior quarterback and head coach. Plus, Bill and I are tied in the pick’em competition, so I might as well make things interesting since he took the Chiefs.
Pick’em Competition
Moving onto S&BP’s Pick’em competition, below is a look at how our writers have fared through the regular season and Conference Championships.
- Ray Aspuria 205-78 (72%)
- Bill Williamson 199-85 (70%)
- Matt Holder 199-85 (70%)
As mentioned last week, Ray has the writer’s championship locked up and Bill and I had the same picks two weeks ago, taking the Eagles and Bills. So, there’s no movement among the writers and the only thing left on the table is a battle for second place that will come down to this weekend. Also, I won’t even mention that Ray went 0-2 during the conference championship…

It all comes down to this. The Chiefs and the Eagles won’t be the only ones competing for a championship this Sunday as we have a tie at the top of the leaderboard. A big shoutout to Running With the Night for going 2-0 and knoting things up with Bodega Bay Raider! We could have our first tie in the pick’em competition since I’ve been doing it as it will come down to who those two pick in the Super Bowl.
Remember to get your picks in and may your picks be good! Also, thank you all for participating this season, it’s been a blast!
