Super Bowl Point Spreads History: Odds for Every Matchup
Betting on the NFL’s biggest Sunday matchup requires skill and a basic knowledge of sports wagering. We’ve compiled the scores, ATS and OVER/UNDER results of each Super Bowl to date to help you handicap your bets.
The Super Bowl point spread is the number of points given or subtracted from either team to create a more even betting field. For instance, the odds for Super Bowl 55 now look something like this:
- Kansas City Chiefs -3
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers +3
Ahead of Super Bowl 55 between the Chiefs and Buccaneers, the line is currently sitting at Chiefs -3.
To cover the spread, the Chiefs would need to win the game by four points or more, while the Buccaneers would need to win the game outright or lose by two points or less.
Odds History for Spread and Totals Betting
Check out the Super Bowl odds history below, which shows definitively that the team that wins almost always covers the spread as well. This has not been scientifically proven – NASA is busy with other things – but if you look at the table below of the Super Bowl point spread and outright game winners, you’ll notice a pattern.
You’ll also notice that the New England Patriots have made more appearances in the big game than any other team with 11, and the Pittsburgh Steelers trail closely behind with eight. The Pats have also covered the spread in seven of their trips to the Super Bowl.
The Super Bowl has gone to the dogs 23 times with the fave covering the spread 28 times. There have also been two PUSHES – when the score hits the oddsmaker’s set number exactly.
In this table, you’ll see that the totals are also listed (in parentheses). This is the combined score of each team where bettors would need to decide if the final score will be OVER or UNDER the oddsmaker’s set number.
