Super Bowl 57 Odds

Betting on the Philadelphia Eagles

Patrick Mahomes has been an incredibly successful underdog at NFL betting sites in his career going 5-3 straight up, significant trends from advanced season-long statistics suggest that success as an underdog may be coming to an end:

• Pro Football Reference rates the Chiefs (261.80) and the Eagles (210.87) as the two best offenses in the league by expected points contributed. The problem is on defense for Kansas City, as their -49.5 EXP ranks just 14th compared to 39.93 (3rd) for Philadelphia. Combining both to see the expected points contributed by the offense and defense paint them both as elite teams, with Philadelphia’s 250.8 EXP first in the entire league while Kansas City is third at 212.3 EXP.
• Kansas City specifically ranks highly in EXP based on their passing offense (220.03 EXP), but that may be offset by the Eagle’s pass defense which has the highest Expected Point Contributed in the NFL at 73.85 which is more than double of any other team (San Francisco is second at 30.77).
• The Eagle’s biggest weakness on defense has been stopping the running game, allowing the ninth most yards per carry (4.6) and the 16th most yards per game (121.6). Whether the Chiefs can take advantage of that weakness is up in the air, as the Chiefs have just the eighth fewest rushing attempts in the league per game (24.5) and the 20th most rushing yards per game (115.9).
• Likely the biggest advantage in the game for the Eagles will be their run game on offense. Ranking no worse than fifth in attempts, yards, or touchdowns per game on the ground, Philadelphia has a significant advantage over Kansas City. KC ranks as the 12th-best defense in EXP versus the pass but falls to 22nd against the run.

Betting on the Over/Under for Super Bowl 57

Super Bowl 57 sportsbooks have set the over/under for the Super Bowl at 49.5 points. If that line stands, Super Bowl 57 will have the 14th-highest total in NFL history.

Of the 13 Super Bowls with totals higher than 49.5 points, nine have gone under.

What may be even more important is the fact that ten of those 13 Super Bowls resulted in a quarterback winning Super Bowl MVP.

Players at legal sports betting sites can currently get plus odds on both starting quarterbacks to win Super Bowl MVP.

• Jalen Hurts +110
• Patrick Mahomes +130
