The Chiefs are the public’s favorite for Super Bowl 55 with 60% of against the spread bets placed on Kansas City. The Chiefs opened as 3.5-point favorites but some big bets placed on the Buccaneers have dropped the line to a flat 3 points with 52% of the 2021 Super Bowl betting handle placed on Tampa Bay.
The Chiefs still need to win by at least 4 points in order to cover the spread. A win by exactly 3 points now results in a push and all ATS bets being refunded instead of a 3-point loss counting as an ATS win for the Buccaneers.
Unlike the spread, sharps and the public are aligned with the total. BetMGM reports 66% of O/U tickets and 62% of the handle are both on the Over; however, the line has dropped from an opener of 57.5 to 56.5.
The Chiefs and Buccaneers combining to score 57 or more points is a win for those holding Over tickets on the current total and a final score adding up to 56 or fewer points is a win for the Under.

They say scared money don’t make money, and that’s certainly true.
But when you have enough money to bet $2.3 million on a single thing, what is there to really be scared of?
That’s what someone bet on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. They’re +3.5 on the spread. Someone bet $2.3 million that they’d be able to cover against the Chiefs, according to Bet MGM.
And if they do cover, the person who placed that bet will get a cool $2 million back. Talk about getting a bang for your buck. Or…your Bucs.
Don’t worry. I’ll see myself out.
When you’re already betting $2.3 million, another $2 million is certainly not life-changing money for this bettor. But it’s still a lot. Good luck, I guess.
