Betting the under in the Super Bowl might be deemed un-American.
It’s human nature to root for fun and entertainment. It’s much easier to root for something to happen than to root for something not to happen. That’s why the over is a popular bet among casual bettors. But as unpopular as betting an under can be, it’s plenty profitable. In fact, the last seven games during this year’s playoffs have gone under the total. And winning money is the most fun experience of all, right?
The Super Bowl LVII matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles features two of the league’s three best offenses, according to DVOA. It features a battle between two dynamic quarterbacks and two of the game’s best offensive coaches. The total reflects that, as it sits at 50.5 points.
