Super Bowl point spread released: Chiefs favored over 49ers
Jeff Curry-USA TODAY Sports

Super Bowl LIV is set and will feature the San Francisco 49ers against the Kansas City Chiefs in Miami. The teams are fairly evenly matched, as San Francisco went 13-3 and was the top seed in the NFC, while KC went 12-4 and was the No. 2 seed. The Chiefs came from behind in both of their playoff wins and won in convincing fashion, while the Niners dominated their games for most of the way.

Sportsbook.ag has listed the Chiefs as a 1.5-point favorite in the game. What’s interesting is that the spread changed based on how strong San Francisco looked early against Green Bay.

The point spread originally was Chiefs by three, but that changed after the Niners got out to a 27-0 lead.

The point spread could change as the game nears depending on what bettors like. If they feel the 49ers will continue their strong play, the game could become a pick ’em with no spread, or it could even flip to SF becoming a small favorite if enough money comes in on them.

The close spread suggests we should get a good game between the teams on February 2.
