Super Bowl 57 Early Betting Odds Preview
The top seeds from both the AFC and NFC have reached the Super Bowl this season in a rare matchup between the league’s best with the Philadelphia Eagles facing the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 57.
When the odds were first set at Bovada Sportsbook for the big game, the Eagles were listed as slim 1-point favorites. That spread has grown since then and you’ll currently find the Eagles down as 2-point favorites at Bovada.
Eagles favored by 2 points over Chiefs in Super Bowl 57
Philadelphia returns to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2018 when they upset the New England Patriots 41-33 as a 4.5-point underdog. This season, the Eagles are 16-3 straight up and 10-9 against the spread, which includes last week’s 31-7 win over the San Francisco 49ers as 3-point favorites in the NFC championship game.
The Eagles head into the Super Bowl on a three-game winning streak with a 2-1 ATS record. Away from home this season, they are 7-1 SU and 2-6 ATS, and on the road in the playoffs they’re 1-4 SU and 2-3 ATS in their last five. For totals bettors, the Eagles have posted four straight UNDERs, and six straight UNDERs in the playoffs.
This is Kansas City’s third Super Bowl appearance in four years. That includes a 31-20 win over the San Francisco 49ers as a 1.5-point favorite in 2020 and a 31-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a 3-point favorite in 2021.
Kansas City has won last 3 meetings vs Philadelphia
The Chiefs are 16-3 SU and 8-11 ATS this season and got past the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 as 2-point favorites in the AFC championship game last week. Kansas City has won seven straight at 3-4 ATS and on the road this season they are 7-2 SU and 4-5 ATS.
Being listed as an underdog hasn’t been a major disadvantage to the Chiefs, who are 4-2 SU and ATS in their last six. However, in the playoffs as an underdog, they’ve lost five straight both SU and ATS, and they’re 1-9 SU and 2-8 ATS in their last 10.
Both sides in the matchup have done well against the opposing conference. The Eagles have won seven straight against AFC opponents with a 5-2 ATS record. The Chiefs have won 10 straight against NFC opponents with an 8-2 ATS record.
The Chiefs and Eagles last met up in 2021 and Kansas City won 42-30 as a 7-point road favorite. Kansas City has won three in a row against the Eagles both SU and ATS, and in their last eight meetings, the Chiefs are 5-3 SU and 4-4 ATS.
