Super Bowl Odds: Point Spread, Total For Chiefs-Eagles
The Super Bowl is set, and it’s hard to argue we won’t see the NFL’s two best teams do battle in the desert in two weeks.
The Philadelphia Eagles cruised to a win in the NFC Championship Game, while the Kansas City Chiefs pulled out a late win to capture the AFC crown. It gives us a must-see matchup featuring two of the NFL’s best quarterbacks with a whole bunch of juicy storylines.
As always, bettors will attack the season’s final game from all possible angles. Those robust betting markets will further develop as the game nears, but the betting line and total materialized mere moments after Harrison Butker’s kick sailed through the uprights in Kansas City.
Here’s the consensus betting line and total as of early Monday morning.
We already have seen, via Wager Talk’s live odds tracker, action dictate plenty of change in the opening odds. For example, the South Point opened the game with Kansas City as slight 1-point favorites. Literally within a matter of minutes, that line got bet down to a pick ’em and within 20 minutes of that move, it swung all the way to Eagles -2. While the consensus line is across a handful of sportsbooks has Philly as a 2-point favorite, they’re up to -2.5 at South Point, a swing of more than a field goal since opening.
Similarly, Caesars opened the game as a pick Sunday night, and that line moved to Philly as 2-point favorites within 20 minutes.
Regardless of the action over the next two weeks, it appears this Super Bowl will close as a tight spread. That’s actually a deviation from the norm, as we haven’t seen a lot of Super Bowl point spreads close at less than a field goal over the last 10 years.
2020: San Francisco vs. (-1.5) Kansas city2019: Los Angeles vs. (-2.5) New England2015: New England vs. (-1) Seattle2014: Seattle vs. (-2) Denver
2012: New York vs. (-2.5) New England
It’s even rarer if you go beyond that Giants-Patriots Super Bowl. The point spread closed below a field goal just three times in the first 45 years of the big game.
