Super Bowl 59, between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, will be held on Sunday, Feb. 9, at 6:30 p.m. at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, LA.
With the game at an NFC site, the home of the New Orleans Saints, the Eagles are considered the home team.
This is important because the Eagles were allowed to pick which jerseys they wanted to wear.

The Eagles wore the same jersey at Super Bowl 57 when they lost to the Chiefs 38-35. That said, they also wore them at Super Bowl 52 when they beat the New England Patriots 41-38.
Considered the road team, the Chiefs will wear white. The Chiefs wore white in their Super Bowl 58 win over the San Francisco 49ers, 25-22.

Super Bowl 59 Preview: Chiefs vs. Eagles
Heading into the game, the Chiefs are narrow favorites at -1.5 at all major online sportsbooks. However, I’d argue the Eagles are the better team.
The Eagles are ranked second in our Defense+ metric, with a 90.6 grade during the regular season and an 88.5 mark in the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Chiefs are ranked 14th. I’d also say the Eagles have the advantage in the trenches.
Looking at their offensive line, they have left tackle Jordan Mailata, who’s allowed just one sack this season.
Their defensive line includes a litany of talent, such as Moro Ojomo, Josh Sweat, Nolan Smith, Bryce Huff, Milton Williams, Jalen Carter, and more.
Remember, the Chiefs have moved guard Joe Thuney out to left tackle, leaving left guard Mike Caliendo in a position to have to block potentially both Williams and Carter all evening long.
Caliendo has played 212 pass-blocking snaps this season, including the playoffs. He’s allowed six pressures in the Chiefs’ two playoff games.
This is an area the Eagles can win.
Another matchup the Eagles could exploit is wide receiver DeVonta Smith coming out of the slot against Chiefs slot corner Chamarri Conner. He’s allowed 57 catches on 67 targets (85.1%) this season.
There is also Eagles running back Saquon Barkley for the Chiefs to be concerned with. The Chiefs have allowed over 100 rushing yards to running backs in each of their two playoff games and have allowed three rushing touchdowns to the position.
Barkley has five rushing touchdowns over his last two playoff games.
