Hypothetical Super Bowl Matchup Odds, Lines: Chiefs Favored Across the Board
Two of our best sportsbooks have made projections for the 2023 Super Bowl matchups. Let's take a look at all the hypothetical Super Bowl 2023 odds and lines and be sure to check out our 49ers vs. Eagles picks and Bengals vs. Chiefs picks.
It's been about a decade since the horse-sized duck hypothetical hit the internet, and we still don't have a clear-cut answer. Some hypothetical questions are meant to tease the mind and go without a resolution.
Thankfully, that's not the case for the hypothetical Super Bowl 2023 matchups.
With Championship Weekend days away, two of our best Super Bowl betting sites have posted odds and lines for each possible Super Bowl matchup. There are predictably plenty of consensus numbers and tight spreads throughout, with no team greater than a 1.5-point favorite. But there are some notable differences to consider taking action on now.
Here's a look at all the hypothetical Super Bowl 2023 odds and lines from FanDuel Sportsbook and DraftKings Sportsbook.
Eagles vs. Chiefs Super Bowl odds
Eagles vs. Chiefs odds analysis
- The Chiefs are the only team favored across the board regardless of the matchup. That's at least a tiny bit surprising given the injury situation tied to quarterback Patrick Mahomes heading into the AFC Championship against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, he logged a full practice to begin the week and didn't appear to be favoring his ankle.
- Draftkings is differing from FanDuel while offering the Chiefs at +100 to cover -1 against the Eagles, possibly in an attempt to factor in any lingering uncertainty regarding Mahomes' injury. On the other side, you're also paying a little more to get the point with the Eagles through DraftKings.
- DraftKings is giving this matchup the highest total of the four hypothetical championship games. The two teams finished the regular season among the top three in points per game, with the Chiefs averaging 29.2 and the Eagles posting 28.1.
Bengals vs. Eagles Super Bowl odds
Bengals vs. Eagles odds analysis
- This is the only matchup FanDuel has made more than a pick'em against the spread, which shows how absurdly close the NFL's final four teams are heading into championship weekend.
- Bengals-Eagles is one of two matchups Draftkings is giving more than a one-point spread. However, unlike Chiefs-49ers in which there's an even -110 on both sides, Draftkings is offering an appealing +100 for the Eagles here. The Eagles are a run-oriented team, and Cincinnati boasts the league's seventh-best regular-season run defense (106.6 yards per game).
- Bengals backers should clearly head to FanDuel. This matchup is one of two with that book offering even-money odds on the moneyline. The 49ers are getting the same treatment against the Chiefs.
Chiefs vs. 49ers Super Bowl odds
Chiefs vs. 49ers odds analysis
- FanDuel has given this potential clash the lowest total of the four possible matchups, and it's the only contest being offered below 48. It's easy to see why, as it would feature the 49ers' league-best scoring defense (16.3 points per game), and a Chiefs unit that ranked a respectable 16th (21.7 points).
- However, DraftKings isn't wavering on its high-scoring stance in games featuring the Niners despite that defensive strength. Both this matchup and Bengals-49ers have been given the same total.
- This is the only instance of DraftKings giving even-money ML odds, with the 49ers getting a notably more enticing price. The quarterback matchup is no doubt a factor, as even a possibly hobbled Mahomes is more established than the thriving though still inexperienced Brock Purdy.
Bengals vs. 49ers Super Bowl odds
Bengals vs. 49ers odds analysis
- This game would perhaps be the most evenly matched while showcasing the NFL's top-ranked defense and the Bengals' sixth-ranked unit, and the fifth- and sixth-ranked offenses.
- There's plenty of consensus as a result, though FanDuel is offering a slight edge toward the Over, while DraftKings is doing the same for San Francisco to cover.
- This is one of three games with an even-money spread option available through DraftKings. There isn't one yet at FanDuel.
