Super Bowl LIX Betting Facts
It's the Biggest Sports Betting Event of the Year
Since the Super Bowl is the most watched sporting event of the year, it's not surprising it is also the most bet-on sports event. Last year, $23.1 billion was projected to be wagered on the game, with 68 million Americans actively participating in some sort of gambling.
Those are not exact numbers, but we know 8.5 million accounts earned $1.3 billion through legal sportsbooks betting on Super Bowl 58.
Bet on White
The team wearing the white jerseys has fared well in the big game, winning 16 of the last 19.
The only teams to win not wearing white are the Green Bay Packers (Super Bowl 45), Philadelphia Eagles (Super Bowl 52) and Kansas City Chiefs (Super Bowl 54).
Have Confidence in the Defense
The term "defense wins championship" is used for this game, and with good reason, as the evidence has supported it. The top-ranked defense has faced off against the top-ranked offense 21 times. The defense went 15-6 in those situations.
Most Valuable Quarterback
The quarterback is the most valued position in football, and its importance is evident in the Super Bowl. Quarterbacks have been named Super Bowl MVP 32 of 58 times. There haven't been back-to-back non-quarterback MVPs since Super Bowls 39 and 40.
Look for Points To Start
Betting on the whole game is an obvious way to go, but you can also bet on halves or even quarters. If you're thinking about betting on a quarter, you want to think about anticipating both teams to put up points early. Both teams have scored in the first quarter of the last five Super Bowls.
A Day for the Dogs
Throughout the game’s history, the favorite has had the advantage, going 37-21, but lately, the underdogs have had the edge. Nine underdogs have won outright in the last 13 Super Bowls, and the latest was last year when the Chiefs were a 1.5-point underdog to the 49ers.
How Much You Won Before Doesn't Mean Anything
It doesn't matter how you got there, as we've seen lately. Just because you won the most games doesn't mean you're winning the whole thing. Over the last 18 Super Bowls, when the two teams don't have identical records, the team with the worst record won 13 times.
Mahomes Takes It Home at This Time
Some quarterbacks look great in the early month but falter around this time, but not Patrick Mahomes. January and February are when he shines. He's 16-2 at home or on a neutral site in these months.
Secondly, when the game is predicted to be tight, he steps up. In the playoffs, Mahomes is 8-for-8 against the spread (ATS) when listed as a favorite or underdog by under a field goal. The Chiefs are currently a 1.5-point favorite.
A Coaching Rematch
It'll be the fifth time we'll see a coaching rematch with Andy Reid vs. Nick Sirianni. The winning coach of the previous matchup seems to have the upper hand as they have all four of the second meetings. This could be the second time Reid has accomplished this feat, as he defeated Kyle Shanahan in their rematch last year.
