The Super Bowl is set to kick off Feb. 12, but that’s not the only entertaining sporting event scheduled for this weekend.

If you want to bet on NFL Super Bowl odds, here are online sports betting insights for the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the Philadelphia Eagles as well as the WM Phoenix Open in golf and the Los Angeles Lakers facing the Golden State Warriors in the NBA on Saturday.

NFL

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Sunday, Feb. 12 | TV: FOX | 6:30 p.m. ET

This Super Bowl is between the No. 1-seeded teams in their respective conferences. The Eagles were only 1.5-point football betting favorites as of Feb. 9.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been playing at a high level. In two blowout victories in the playoffs, he’s thrown for 275 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions while completing 63% of his passes. Kenneth Gainwell (160 yards) and Miles Sanders (132 yards) have both rushed for over 100 yards in the postseason.

Despite a high ankle sprain suffered in the divisional round, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been phenomenal. In two playoff games, he’s thrown for 521 yards, four touchdowns with no picks while completing 70% of his passes. Tight end Travis Kelce has recorded 176 of those yards through the air with 21 catches and three touchdowns.

Golf

Jon Rahm was the golf betting favorite going into the WM Phoenix Open. He had odds at +750 going into the tournament with an 11.8% implied probability, according to betting markets.

Rory McIlroy, the No. 1-ranked player in the world, was second at +800. He’s fresh off a win at the Dubai Desert Classic a couple weeks ago.

Xander Schauffele, with odds at +1600, saw the most handle (11.9%) and ticket percentage (7.2%) entering the event.

NBA

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Golden State Warriors
