With the Super Bowl fast approaching this week, there has been plenty of two-way action on both the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.

However, the bigger bets appear to be coming on the NFC champion Eagles, with sportsbook like BetMGM writing six-figure wagers on Philadelpiha early in the week. The Eagles, who opened as 1.5-point underdogs, have been receiving betting interest in the lead up to the game both on the full game side and in the first half.

In a Super Bowl 57 rematch that the Chiefs rallied to win as 2.5-point underdogs, the team is now the small betting favorite on the precipice of a third straight Super Bowl title against the Eagles. 

However, Philadelphia has been one of the best teams in the NFL over the balance of the last several seasons, and with the addition of running back Saquon Barkley remains a viable threat to stop the Chiefs from achieving history. 

Clearly, bettors are backing the Eagles at a discount – with sportsbooks noting the interest in Philadelphia in the week leading up to the big game in New Orleans and the market has been moving towards the Eagles slowly but surely as limits go up and we get closer to the game.

It's clear that bettors with big pockets are coming out to support the small underdogs in Philadelphia, will the team stop history?

Here are the updated odds ahead of Super Bowl 59.
