A Super Bowl pick 'em awaits between Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs Via longleysunsport
Though the AFC game was all over the map, with both the Bengals and Chiefs each taking turns as small favourites, the NFC wagering pattern was more decisive, especially as kickoff approached. The Eagles money arrived in a late surge, pushing the home favourites to a three-point margin at kick.
With the combined margin of five points between the two title tilts, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, that total was the second lowest in the history or the NFL conference championship format. The lowest combined spread came way back in 1982 when Washington was the two-point pick over Dallas and Miami a one-point favourite over the Jets.
Forced to resort to a fourth-string quarterback, the 49ers never got the opportunity to show if they were live underdogs on Sunday, though history suggests they are money in the post season going 7-1 against the spread under coach Kyle Shanahan including five consecutive covers prior to Sunday’s 31-7 drubbing.
According to Caesar’s, heading into Sunday’s action, tams getting three points or fewer were since 2000 were a solid bet, going 8-4 both straight up and against the spread in that time. With the line switching in favour of the Chiefs, coach Andy Reid’s team has now been favoured in 16 consecutive playoff games, the longest streak in post-season history. It’s not even close, either with the Patriots and the 49ers tied for second at 12.
