At sportsbooks, not much happened in the two weeks between the conference championship games and today’s Super Bowl. The spread stayed the same (Eagles -1.5) while the points total barely crept up from 49.5 points to 50.5.
Well, on game day, we’ve got a little more movement. At BetMGM, the over/under for total points has moved up again, from 50.5 to 51.5, meaning the public is expecting this to be a high-scoring outing.
A lit-up scoreboard is certainly a possibility. Behind Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City has sustained one of the more high-powered offenses in the league. This season, the Chiefs led the NFL in points per game (29.2). Meanwhile, Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles were the third-highest-scoring team this past regular season (28.1).
You betting the over?
