Super Bowl LVIII Odds

Sunday, Feb 11, 6:30 PM EST

San Francisco 49ers (12-5) -2.0 at Kansas City Chiefs (11-6) O/U 47.0 

OPENED 49ers -2.5; O/U 47.5 

The game opened 49ers -2.5 and immediately went to -2, -1.5, and finally to -1. It has bounced back and forth between 49ers -1 and -2. The total has moved from 47.5 to 48.0, 47.0 and 47.5> Ut appears that  48 is a key number so you can see why people would either want to get on one side or the other on it. 

The early money in Super Bowl betting is typically going to come from the "Sharp" side while the "public" is going to bet closer to kickoff. So we will continue to see small moves leading up unto kickoff and then could see some significant late movement. 

2/7/24 - 49ers have settled in at -1.5 or -2 in most places with a -2.5 still at FanDuel. The total has not moved from 47.5.
