The Philadelphia Eagles’ rout of the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59 may have been written in the stars.
Retired Eagles center Jason Kelce went to a palm reader while he was in New Orleans for the Feb. 9 game and consulted an expert to figure out who would win. And by “expert,” we mean a palm reader.
“Been down in New Orleans since Tuesday enjoying this fine city!! Can’t wait for an incredible game tonight, I could see it going either way. One of the things i went to was a palm reader, who had some insights potentially on things to come in this game… what does it mean?,” Kelce captioned a video on X that he posted Feb. 9.
In the clip, Kelce, whose brother Travis Kelce you may know as a pop star-dating tight end for the Chiefs, pulled a tarot card when the subject of who would win came up. The palm reader informed him he drew The Fool.
“Someone new that hasn’t done it before,” the palm reader said about The Fool, prompting Kelce and a few others on hand to gasp and laugh.
“Could be Saquon Barkley, I think,” Kelce said, alluding to how the Eagles star running back hadn’t won a Super Bowl prior to this season. He also thought the same thing about Jalen Hurts, the Eagles quarterback who would go on to be named MVP of the game, while notching his first Super Bowl win after losing to the Chiefs two years ago.
Kelce then remembered the Chiefs had been trying to win their third consecutive Super Bowl victory, which has never been done in NFL history.
“Would you like more clarification?” the palm reader asked.
Kelce pulled another card, The Chariot, which the palm reader noted for “traveling a long way.”
“It’s been a bumpy road so far. However, steamrolling,” he continued.
Kelce pointed out that Eagles had been steamrolling, presumably referring to their level of play, before another person urged him to remember The Fool, which led Kelce to realize how much that card had in common with The Chariot, both of whom seemed to represent one Eagle in particular.
“I think it’s Saquon,” he said.
