Super Bowl LVII will take place on Sunday between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs in Glendale, Arizona. As the big game approaches, the latest sports betting trend suggests the money is pouring in for the Chiefs. Despite being underdogs by 1.5 points, the spread movement in their favor is somewhat significant in the lead up to the game.
Bosses move from +2.5 to +1.5 on the range
A little over a week ago, some sportsbooks had the Eagles as favorites by up to 2.5 points, but now most major US sportsbooks have the Eagles listed as favorites. of only 1.5 points. Both teams are listed at -110 at BetOnline. Although the difference between -1.5 and -2.5 is minimal since no key numbers have been moved, it would still take a significant amount of money to trade a line per point in a Super Bowl.

Kansas City Chiefs +1.5 -110
So what does this price movement mean in the world of sports betting? The odds and handicap movement reflect the public’s perception of which team is more likely to win, and as more money is placed on the Chiefs, the odds shift in their favor. This move suggests that the public is increasingly confident in the Chiefs’ chances of winning the Super Bowl.
In fact, just over a week ago, the Chiefs were hitting +118 on the money line in places. But that number is no longer available. Some sportsbooks even have the Chiefs at low odds at present. Even though they are not the favourites, the odds between the two teams are getting closer and closer.
Those who backed the Chiefs early on are now in a good position as their odds have improved.
Hurts Ground Game vs. Mahomes Through the Air
While those who backed the Chiefs will be hoping to see plenty of action from Patrick Mahomes to Travis Kelce, Eagles supporters will be hoping the team in green can make the opposition swallow it. Jalen Hurts’ running game will be key to success if the Eagles are to emerge as Super Bowl victors and lift the Lombardi Trophy on Sunday.
Whoever wins, the Super Bowl is sure to be an extraordinary event from the start of the broadcast to the end of the night.
