ESPN’s Seth Walder recently revealed the latest ‘Football Power Index’ rankings. He lists the Kansas City Chiefs second, behind the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.
“Two of the past three Super Bowls have been between Kansas City and Philadelphia,” wrote Walder. “Will it be three of four? The 4.2% chance of a Super Bowl LIX repeat is the greatest of any combination of teams in our Super Bowl matchup projections, slightly besting the 3.6% chances of Ravens- Eagles and Bills- Eagles matchups. Top combinations are listed below and rounded to the nearest whole number.”
ESPN’s ‘Football Power Index’ is an early rating and projection model for the upcoming season, with all indications suggesting that last year’s Super Bowl will be repeated in 2025. Last season, the Chiefs became the first team in NFL history to reach five Super Bowls in a six-season span.

Both teams made significant roster changes during the offseason, so the early prediction will likely change by midseason.
