Video: LeBron James Predicts Super Bowl 59 Winner and Top Prop Bets for Chiefs-Eagles

LeBron James is picking the Kansas City Chiefs to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 59.

"It's hard to go against Mahomes, so I got the Chiefs winning the game," James explained.

The Los Angeles Lakers star picked Eagles running back Saquon Barkley and Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy to score a touchdown. James also picked Patrick Mahomes to rush for at least 40 yards and Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts to throw for at least 200 yards.

Barkley has scored a touchdown in two of the Eagles' three postseason games during their current run to the Super Bowl, while Worthy has scored once in Kansas City's two playoff contests.

The NBA's all-time leading scorer has praised Mahomes in the past, putting the signal-caller on his personal Mt. Rushmore of quarterbacks throughout NFL history in Aug. 2024.

James is in the midst of another strong season with the Lakers, averaging 24.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 9.0 assists per game while shooting 51.6 percent from the field and hitting 39.1 percent of his attempts from three-point territory.

Kansas City will be attempting to become the first team in NFL history to win the Super Bowl in three consecutive seasons, while Philadelphia is looking for revenge after falling to the Chiefs in Super Bowl 57.

Kickoff between the Eagles and Chiefs on Sunday is at 6:30 p.m. ET.
