Super Bowl 59 was a pretty good game for the bettors.
With the public all over the Eagles and the OVER, bettors took home plenty of wins during Kansas City vs Philadelphia. It wasn't all Ws, though, as the books made plenty back on the props.
Here's a recap of where the main wagering wins and losses came with a Super Bowl 59 betting recap:
Sharps & Public Win With The Eagles
It's hard to get the best of the books, but it sure seems like bettors won with the main game lines of Super Bowl 59. The public and sharps were on the Eagles -1.5 and the OVER for Sunday's big game, and both lines hit with ease. The contest ended with Philly winning by 18 and the OVER hitting by 13.5 points.
| Team | Spread | % Bets | % Handle | Total | % Bets | % Handle |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kansas City Chiefs | -1.5 | 46% | 36% | O48.5 | 61% | 57% |
| Philadelphia Eagles | +1.5 | 54% | 64% | U48.5 | 39% | 43% |
Per Sportsbook's data, Eagles moneyline was the most popular bet for Super Bowl 59. The biggest bet on the game at BetMGM was also an $800,000 wager on Eagles +110 — congrats to that person, they just profited $880,000.
The Eagles were also a pretty popular preseason futures pick, and plenty of bettors cashed a +1600 Philly Super Bowl ticket from the preseason. The Eagles entered the year eighth in Super Bowl odds, but ended up on top.
The Super Bowl 59 OVER Cashed Big For Bettors
The OVER was an even bigger money maker than the game lines for bettors, as 61% of all bets and 57% of the money wagered at Sportsbook were on OVER 48.5 total points.
For big games like this, the Bet% often leans OVER, as it's a pretty casual way to wager. But, with Philly and KC combining for 60 points, it was the right play in Super Bowl 59.
The UNDER was on quite the run before Super Bowl 59, hitting in five of the last six finals. But, Jalen Hurts and Philly's offense ended that in a big way for 59.
Top Super Bowl Props Hurt Public
The books made a lot of their money back in the prop department, though. While some popular props like Jalen Hurts' passing yards cashed, the four most-bet player props at Sportsbook failed to hit in Super Bowl 59
- Saquon Barkley O110.5 Rushing Yards (Finished with 57)
- Mahomes O5.5 Rushing Attempts (4)
- Dallas Goedert O49.5 Rec Yards (27)
- Worthy O5.5 Rushing Yards (0)
Four of the five most-bet Anytime TD scorers also failed to cash (Barkley, Kelce, Mahomes). Only Jalen Hurts (-115) scored of the top-five most bet TD scorers.
Xavier Worthy Delivers
It was a tough day for the Chiefs, but there was one Kansas City player who showed up big for Super Bowl backers. Xavier Worthy popped off for eight receptions, 157 receiving yards, and two touchdowns. With 95% of the money on Worthy's receiving yards OVER, it was a good day for the Worthy gang:
| Player | Prop | Odds | % Bets | % Handle |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Xavier Worthy | O 51.5 Yards | -145 | 89% | 95% |
| U 51.5 Yards | +105 | 11% | 5% |
On top of his O52.5 yards, Worthy also cashed:
Anytime Touchdown (+155)
Two Touchdowns (+1100)
Chiefs 1st Reception (+310)
Most Receptions In Game (+360)
