One of the most beloved annual traditions of The Favorites Podcast with Chad Millman and Simon Hunter, which traces its origins back more than a decade, is their listener-drive Super Bowl props contest.
Listeners have spent the last couple of weeks since the Conference Championship games coming up with their own, unique prop bets for the upcoming 2025 Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.
During Tuesday's episode, which aired live on the Action Network YouTube Channel, a winner was selected.
Users on bet365 can now bet on the Eagles to set the Super Bowl record with 281 rushing yards on Sunday night in New Orleans. The winning submission came from listener Jason Seide.
Cleverly titled "It's Always Runny in Philadelphia," bettors can find this prop under the "SUPER BOWL LIX SPECIALS" section on bet365's app and the odds are pretty enticing: +1600 on Philadelphia to break the record.
The current Super Bowl team rushing record has stood since 1988, when Washington ran for 280 yards in a 42-10 thumping of the Denver Broncos. Washington was paced by Timmy Smith's 204 yards, much like the Eagles will hope to be led by Saquon Barkley against the Chiefs.
For what it's worth, the Eagles have topped 280 rushing yards in a game twice this season, including the playoffs. In a funny coincidence, both came against the Los Angeles Rams.
Philadelphia ran for 314 yards against LA on Nov. 24 in a 37-20 win, and hit 285 in a 28-22 victory against the Rams in the Division Round just over two weeks ago.
It's also worth noting that Kansas City's opponents haven't come close to this number at any point this season. The most rushing yards the Chiefs allowed in any single game this season was 202 against the Steelers on Christmas Day — a game they still won, 29-10.
Their opponents have failed to rush for even 100 yards in 10 of their 19 games, including the playoffs.
