After two weeks of anxious anticipation, Super Sunday has finally arrived. The Chiefs and 49ers will kick off Super Bowl 58 this evening at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the unofficial sports betting capital of the world. Sporting News' expert betting team has run the gauntlet in terms of traditional spread, over/under, and moneyline betting. We've also covered a wide range of player props and even highlighted exotic and novelty markets like the national anthem, coin to s, and halftime show. This column, though, will specifically discu s betting insights from. Let's discu s some of the most noteworthy Super Bowl 58 betting insights provided to us by , breaking down what it all means to us as we approach the Big Game between the Chiefs and 49ers. betmgm_coloredGET IN ON THE ACTION! SIGN UP TO THE KING OF SPORTSBOOKS NOWPLAY NOWSuper Bowl 58 betting insights for Chiefs-49ers Top Liability It probably comes as little shock to any sports fan that the defending champion Chiefs have generated the majority of the action on the moneyline (+110) and against the spread (+2). What might shock you, however, is just how heavily the action has leaned Kansas City's way. There has been lopsided action on the Chiefs to win and cover the spread in the Super Bowl," said BetMGM Senior Trader Tristan Davis. "BetMGM will be cheering for the 49ers." Talk about the understatement of the year! Kansas City has garnered a whopping 83 percent of the moneyline handle and T. J. Carrie Jersey 78 percent of the ATS handle. That means that only 17 percent of the cash wagered on the ML and just 22 percent of the money on the spread are on the favorites. The sportsbooks also carry plenty of liability with San Francisco from the futures market, as the 49ers accounted for a whopping 16.7 percent of all Super Bowl futures bets as of January 22. Futures allow bettors to wager year-round on a specific team to win the next Super Bowl. The Niners, the No. 1 seed in the NFC, were the most popular bet all season long. "San Francisco winning by one point would be the worst outcome for the sportsbook," said Davis, "allowing Niners futures and Chiefs spread bets to all cash. Could this be the first time in ages that a sportsbook gets destroyed by the overwhelming majority of Super Bowl bettors? We certainly wouldn't hold our breath. The 49ers can pull off this victory and cover they were arguably a better team from top to bottom than Kansas City all season long, and there's a reason they have been favorites for two weeks straight. Still, it's so hard to bet against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs after all we have seen from them over the years and during their triumphant run through the Dolphins, Bills, and Ravens. Ultimately, we would advise against betting a ma sive amount on the spread or moneyline, and opting instead to sprinkle modest amounts on other higher-value bets and props. Notable prop bets Bettors always love hearing about the big-ticket and notable bets leading up to Super Bowl Sunday, and this weekend has generated as much head-turning action as ever. Let's take a look at some of the wildest individual bets for Super Bowl 58: $250,000 on 49ers -2 $100,000 on 49ers -130 $6,500 to win $975,000 on the correct score to be Chiefs 34, 49ers 28 (+15000) $2,000 to win $700,000 on the correct score to be Chiefs 27, 49ers 28 (+35000) $2,000 to win $80,000 on Brock Purdy to be the first touchdown scorer (+4000) $300 to win $60,000 on no touchdowns to be scored (+20000) $250 to win $25,000 on Trent Baker Mayfield Jersey McDuffie to have the most tackles and a sists (+10000) $140 to win $105,000 on Kyle Juszczyk to win Super Bowl MVP (+75000) $100 to win $8 on both teams to score 10+ points (-1250) Mind = blown. Can you imagine betting a quarter of a million bucks against two-time Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes and active coaching GOAT Andy Reid!? Or dropping five figures on the exact score!? These wagers remind us of movies in which the main character goes to the casino and puts a ma sive bet on red, black, or a specific number on the roulette table. The most unlikely of all unlikely scenarios, though, is the "no touchdowns" prop. We're talking about two of the most high-flying offenses in the NFL, with elite skill-position players like Travis Kelce, Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, and Isiah Pacheco. We could understand putting a small amount on an alternate UNDER of 50.5 (-155), but this will almost certainly not be a battle of field goals. Did Kyle Juszczyk himself bet on the fullback to win Super Bowl MVP? It's quite po sible. We can't knock the hustle if that's the case. We prefer 49ers' linebackers Fred Warner (+20000) or Dre Greenlaw (+50000) overJuszczyk (+75000). Warner and Greenlaw have both been known to fly all over the field and make game-changing plays, so they represent more value as lotto-ticket dark horses. Most bet (tickets) player props Brock Purdy over 12.5 rushing yards (-120) Isiah Pacheco over 67.5 rushing yards (-130) Travis Kelce over 70.5 receiving yards (-125) Brock Purdy over 0.5 interceptions (-120) (99% of bets are on the Joel Bitonio Jersey over) Patrick Mahomes over 25.5 rushing yards (-125) As I mentioned on , Super Bowl bettorslovewagering on the OVER. We can get behind Pacheco OVER 67.5 rushing yards, as the 49ers' run D looked awful against Aaron Jones and the Packers and even worse against the Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. We would pump the brakes on the Kareem Hunt Jersey Purdy and Mahomes rushing-yard OVERs, though. Mahomes has bested 25.5 ground yards just twice since Week 1, while Purdy has gone OVER 12.5 five times. The biggest shocker could come from Kelce, who has been held below 70 receiving yards on 10 different occasions since the 2023 season began. The 49ers allowed just 827 yards to opposing tight ends all season (48.6 per game), and Steve Wilks' unit will make it a point to contain the best pa s-catching TE of this era. We could also see Purdy interception bettors getting let down, as he has thrown zero picks 11 different times this season. After launching several dangerous pa ses in the NFC title game, the Brock Star may play Super Sunday on a shorter Kyle Shanahan leash. Most bet (tickets) players to score a touchdown Travis Kelce -115 Deebo Samuel +140 Christian McCaffrey -225 Patrick Mahomes +400 Isiah Pacheco -130 The best values here are Kelce, Pacheco, and Samuel in that order. We feel that CMC is such a lock to score that you're almost better off avoiding the juice and wagering a smaller amount on him to score twice with +225 odds. Don't waste your money on Mahomes to score a rushing TD the Niners only allowed two QB sneaks for scores all season, two more than Mahomes has scored in his 19-game campaign. Andy Reid will not allow his franchise player to risk injury on the biggest stage in sports. Most bet (tickets) players to score 1st touchdown Travis Kelce +600 Christian McCaffrey +350 Isiah Pacheco +550 Deebo Samuel +900 Rashee Rice +850 Just don't bet on "first touchdown" props. Like "first basket" props in basketball, they're tremendously volatile and impo sible to predict. That's why sportsbooks love them. Most bet (tickets) game props Chiefs to win by 7-12 points (+550) Chiefs rushing touchdown is 1st scoring play in game (+650) Return attempt outcome of opening kickoff (+250) Offensive touchdown outcome of Chiefs 1st drive (+250) Field goal attempt outcome of 49ers 1st drive (+375) Fun! We won't touch any of these, but if we had to choose our two favorites they would be "Chiefs win by 7-12 points" at +550 and "Offensive touchdown outcome of Chiefs' first drive" at +250. Most bet (tickets) to win Super Bowl MVP Travis Kelce (+1300) 20.5% Christian McCaffrey (+450) 15.2% Patrick Mahomes (+135) 14.0% Isiah Pacheco (+2800) 9.5% Brock Purdy (+230) 8.0% The world loves fairy-tale endings, so clearly, casual bettors have been flooding the market with their Kelce MVP tickets. Newsflash, ya'll: no tight end has ever won this award, so betting on the Chiefs to win and an offensive player other than Patrick Mahomes to take home MVP seems foolish at best. Regardle s, Kelce will get his opportunity to yell Beastie Boys lyrics and The Rock impersonations and even propose to Taylor Swift if he so chooses (). But he won't take home the MVP trophy or truck that comes with it. The best bets if you like either team to win are Mahomes and Purdy. McCaffrey is the only non-QB skill-position player I would entertain. Lotto-ticket bets, as we said before, should go the way of San Francisco linebackers Fred Warner (+20000) or Dre Greenlaw (+50000) or Chiefs cornerback L'Jarius Sneed (+17500). Most bet (tickets) novelty props Heads to be outcome of the coin to s (-105) Orange color of Gatorade Bath Ozzie Newsome Jersey (+325) 49ers win coin to s (-105) We always love ourselves a good novelty prop contest!
