The Chiefs opened as 2-point underdogs in the 2024 Super Bowl betting lines on Sunday night and were back to that number by Tuseday after dropping to as low as +1 a day earlier in the Super Bowl odds available now at the best online sportsbooks. These sports betting apps are getting ready for the big game with various special Super Bowl promo codes and NFL betting bonuses that generate hundreds of dollars of opening-wager protection and bonus bets for new customers.
The 49ers are -130 on the moneyline against the Chiefs (+110), while the 47.5-point over/under suggests Super Bowl betting lines are expecting some points being scored. San Francisco averaged 28.9 points per game this season, second only to the Dolphins’ 29.2, while Kansas City scored at a 21.8 ppg. clip.
The Chiefs, who beat the top-seeded Ravens 17-10 in the AFC Championship Game, are looking to become the first team to win back-to-back Super Bowls since the Patriots won their second straight to cap the 2004 season. They were road 'dogs in both the divisional round against the Bills and in the AFC title game against the Ravens on the Super Bowl betting sites, so the slim Super Bowl betting lines aren’t likely to faze them. Kansas City beat San Francisco 31-20 in Super Bowl LIV in Miami in 2020.
Down 24-7 at the half last Sunday night, the 49ers scored 17 points over an eight-minute span in the third quarter on their way to an eventual 34-31 victory over the Lions. After struggling badly on both sides of the ball in the first half, the Niners, who were 7-point favorites at home in Santa Clara, scored points on their first five possessions in the second half and then recovered an onside kick after the Lions cut the lead to three points with under a minute left.
