The Chiefs will face the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.
Much like every other major sporting network, ESPN is already in town covering the big game.
Unfortunately, the worldwide leader in sports cannot decide which team will win.
Across 48 hours, hosts and guests gave their selections between Kansas City and Philadelphia.
On one day, Louis Reddick, Dominique Foxworth, Jeff Saturday, and Dan Graziano all chose the Kansas City Chiefs to win Super Bowl LIX.
Twenty-four hours later, Dominique Foxworth and Jeff Saturday were back on Get Up with Ryan Clark, Adam Schefter, and Greeny.
Although Adam Schefter did not make a selection, everybody else on the show chose the Philadelphia Eagles to win Super Bowl LIX.

What?
Super Bowl LIX features a grudge match of Super Bowl LVII, a game the Chiefs narrowly escaped with a 38-35 victory. Harrison Butker gave Kansas City a 38-35 lead with eight seconds left to secure the victory.
The Chiefs defeated San Francisco 25-22 in Super Bowl 58 and will look to Three-Peat with a win over the Eagles on Sunday night.
Philadelphia, this time around, is hoping NFL rushing champ and Offensive Player of the Year Saquon Barkley can be the difference in this matchup.
Who Has The Upper Hand Between The Chiefs And The Eagles?
Super Bowl LIX between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles is inching closer and closer.
Will the Chiefs complete the three-peat, or will the Eagles avenge their championship loss from two years ago?
Philadelphia has lost just once since September, while Kansas City has lost only once since Christmas of 2023.
Super Bowl LIX has the makings of a classic, with either team having the necessary personnel to get things done.
