Our Top Sportsbooks
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 LVI could look something like this:
- Los Angeles Rams -3
- Cincinnati Bengals +3
Ahead of Super Bowl 56 between L.A. and Cincy, the line might be sitting at Rams -3.
To cover the spread, the Rams would need to win the title game by four points or more, while the Bengals would need to win the game outright or lose by two points or less.
