Fixed Winner Odds:

New England Patriots
The Patriots are marching into the Super Bowl to defend their tough-earned Super Bowl 51 crown. Highlights from their AFC championship win against the Jaguars include Danny Amendola’s spectacular fourth-quarter leaping touchdown and Stephon Gilmore’s key block.
Tom Brady threw two touchdown passes in a nail-biting 24-20 victory over a weary Jaguars squad. Despite constant pressure from an aggressive defence, Brady’s calm and precise play shone through, reinforcing his legacy as one of the greatest quarterbacks.
Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles are gearing up for their third-ever Super Bowl appearance on Sunday, 4th February, led by first-timer quarterback Nick Foles stepping up following an injury to Carson Wentz.
They powered past the Vikings with a dominant 38-7 win in the NFC Championship, aided by touchdowns from Alshon Jeffery and Zack Ertz, with Foles orchestrating the offence brilliantly. Their aggressive defence disrupted Vikings QB Keenum, adding to the Eagles’ remarkable run.
Favourites for the Title
The Patriots come in as firm favourites to claim back-to-back Super Bowl titles at odds of 9/20. With a wealth of experience led by captain Tom Brady, who is looking to secure his sixth ring, fans are expecting another thrilling performance from the Pats.
The Quarterbacks to Watch
Nick Foles – Eagles
Making his Super Bowl debut, Foles took over after Wentz’s season-ending injury and has carried the team with a mix of strategic plays and impressive long throws, including a memorable Hail Mary pass. Expect him to give the Eagles a fighting chance on Sunday.
Tom Brady – Patriots
Leading the NFL with 4577 passing yards this season, Brady could be the first ever athlete to top passing yards and secure the Super Bowl in the same year. His five Super Bowl wins and four MVP awards testify to his elite skill and unwavering leadership.
Top MVP Contenders
- Tom Brady – Quarterback, Patriots – 57/100: Brady remains the frontrunner for MVP honours should the Patriots triumph, potentially capping an extraordinary season with a sixth Super Bowl ring.
- Nick Foles – Quarterback, Eagles – 7/2: Foles could surprise many if he delivers match-winning touchdowns and significant passing yards, making him a strong MVP contender.
- Alshon Jeffery – Wide Receiver, Eagles – 40/1: Jeffery impressed with two touchdowns and an 85-yard run in the NFC Championship; a big game on Sunday could push him into the MVP conversation.
- Rob Gronkowski – Tight End, Patriots – 16/1: Gronkowski is a critical offensive weapon for the Pats and, if fit post-concussion, could greatly influence the outcome.
- Danny Amendola – Wide Receiver, Patriots – 40/1: Remembered for his clutch catch in the AFC Championship, Amendola’s consistency could turn heads if he replicates his performance on the biggest stage.
Verdict: New England Patriots 9/20
