Who wins in the battle between Pennsylvania and Missouri?
Sunday, Feb. 9 is the biggest day in the football calendar as Super Bowl LIX (59) between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles emanates from Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, La.
The game is chalked full of storylines.
The Chiefs are looking to make history Sunday night by becoming the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls. It would also be their fourth Super Bowl win in the last six years.
And the last time the Eagles played in a Super Bowl, it was in a losing effort to the Chiefs in 2022.
As the game draws nearer, analysts and armchair quarterbacks alike will weigh in on which factors and storylines within the game.
Farms.com, however, will use 2023 data from the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service to determine the winner. This is because the full 2024 dataset is unavailable.
