OUTCOME
CONFIRMED TRUEThe Eagles defeated the Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX on February 9, 2025 — an 18-point blowout win that easily clears the 14+ point threshold. The game was even more lopsided than the final score suggests, as the Eagles scored the first 34 points before KC tallied two late cosmetic touchdowns. Kyle Brandt was specifically praised by Eagles coverage as the standout national media figure who called for this blowout, described as coming 'doggone close to giving us a prophecy,' though his exact predicted score is not publicly available in search results.
