The 49ers are 2-point favorites on the spread (-2) against the Chiefs in Super Bowl 58, with the total currently set at over/under 47.5 points scored. That means the sportsbooks expect the 49ers to win by 2 points with 47 or 48 total points scored in the game.

The 49ers are -130 favorites on the moneyline to win outright, meaning a $13 bet would win you $10 (plus your $13 back). The Chiefs are +110 underdogs to win, meaning a $10 bet would win you $11 (plus your $10 back).

Those are the consensus odds, but be sure to shop around. While the 49ers are 2-point favorites at most sportsbooks, FanDuel has San Francisco at -2.5. That's just one example of how lines can differ across the board, which makes an impact on your bets.

Super Bowl 58 Expert Pick for Best Bet

Our lead NFL betting expert, Chris Raybon, is taking the Chiefs to cover the spread as his Super Bowl 58 expert pick and best bet:

"I like Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in this matchup for a few different reasons.

"One of the big keys will be third down conversions, and the 49ers' defense hasn't been the same in these situations since losing star safety Talanoa Hufanga for the season. When Hufanga was on the field, the Niners' defense graded out about average in stopping third-down conversions. But since he was injured, they've been a bottom-three unit in the league.

"Another factor is how Brock Purdy will perform against the Kansas City defense. When he's been bad, he's been really bad, and it's often come against good defenses and, notably, well-respected defensive coordinators. Nine of Purdy's 12 interceptions and 11 of his 21 turnover-worthy plays came in just four games — all losses.

"Finally, there's the matter of betting against Mahomes in the postseason and betting against Mahomes as an underdog. In his career, Mahomes is 10-1-1 against the spread as an underdog. In the postseason, he's 12-5 against the spread and 14-3 straight-up. The only playoff losses of his career have come against Tom Brady twice and Joe Burrow once."
