The Super Bowl is the pinnacle of the NFL but also a cornerstone of the sports betting world. So, there is a lot to look into when it comes to Super Bowl betting odds history and betting trends.
Betting on the NFL’s greatest Sunday matchup requires skill and some historical knowledge. So, we’ve compiled the scores, spread and OVER/UNDER results of each Super Bowl to date, including Super Bowl 59.
Understanding Super Bowl Point Spread & Totals
The Super Bowl point spread is a handicap applied to create a more balanced betting field. For Super Bowl 59, the Chiefs were -1.5-point favorites (-115 at Sportsbook).
This means the Kansas City Chiefs needed to win by at least two points to cover this spread. On the flip side, the Eagles needed to lose by less than two points or win outright to cover the spread. Philly ended up winnning.
For OVER/UNDER bets, a total point threshold is set, such as the 48.5 total point mark for Super Bowl LIX. Bettors predict whether the combined score of both teams will be OVER or UNDER this number. The UNDER has hit in five of the last seven Super Bowls.
Super Bowl History For Spread And Totals Betting
Historical data shows that Super Bowl winners almost always cover the spread. A comprehensive look at past winners reveals this trend to be a constant, as the eventual winner has covered the spread in 10 of the last 11 games, and 18 of the past 21. In fact, only seven total Super Bowl victors have failed to cover the spread.
Now that their 24-year dynasty has officially come to an end, New England Patriots fans can rejoice at the fact that they still hold the record for most Super Bowl appearances with 11. Remarkably, the Patriots covered the spread in seven of their trips to the big game. The Pittsburgh Steelers are next on the list with eight Super Bowl appearances.
Underdogs have performed remarkably well in recent years, covering the spread in 17 of the last 25 Super Bowls, including the last three seasons. Although, favorites are still an impressive 36-22 SU and 29-27-2 ATS all-time in the big game.
