Super Bowl LVII is expected to be one of the closest championship games in recent memory, contested between two powerhouse, top-seeded teams — the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles — with some eerily identical bona fides. For the first time, both Super Bowl teams enter the game having compiled the same number of points over the regular season and postseason (546) and the same win-loss total over both (16-3).
There’s a massive betting market for this game, with the American Gaming Association estimating that $16 billion will be wagered in the United States alone. The sheer volume means the sportsbooks usually end up fairly close to a true fifty-fifty proposition on the point spread and total.
