Tuesday, Jan 26, 2021Super Bowl LV will feature a terrific match-up between the Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks from the previous two seasons, with Patrick Mahomes' Chiefs taking on Tom Brady's Buccaneers.
The Chiefs have been installed as an early 3-point favorite, with a total of 56.5 (all odds from BetAnySports).
Let's take a look at some historical trends.
Dating back to 1981, there have been 41 Super Bowls.
The underdogs have gone 21-17-2 ATS, including 6-4 at +3 or +3.5.
And there have been 23 Overs against 17 Unders, but with games in the 55 to 57-point range, the Under is 2-1.
There have been 12 meetings between teams that played earlier in the season.
The revenge-minded team (here, Tampa Bay) has gone 7-5 SU and 6-5-1 ATS, including a perfect 3-0 SU/ATS when installed as an underdog of +7 points or less. And the team which covered the point spread in the previous meeting (here, also, Tampa Bay), has gone 7-3 SU and 7-2-1 ATS.
With regard to rematches from earlier in the season, the Super Bowls have gone Under eight of 12 times. When the previous match-up went Over the total, the Super Bowl was 3-1 Under; and if the first meeting went Under the total, the Super Bowl was 5-3 Under.
There have been eight games that involved a defending Super Bowl champion. Those eight teams have gone 4-4 SU and 3-5 ATS, including 1-3 SU and 0-4 ATS when not favored by more than 7 points.
The team which averaged more points on offense (here, Tampa Bay), has gone 17-23 SU and 14-24-2 ATS, while the team which gave up less points on defense (here, also Tampa Bay) has gone 26-14 SU and 21-17-2 ATS.
The team with the better win percentage (here, Kansas City) has gone 17-17 SU and 13-19-2 ATS, including 3-4 SU/ATS when favored by 3 or 3.5 points.
The team with the better ATS win percentage (here, Tampa Bay) has gone 23-13 SU and 21-13-2 ATS, including 2-1 SU/ATS when installed as an underdog of +3 or 3.5 points.
I am wrapping up my 9th straight winning NFL season, and have released a play in this game, as I look to stay red-hot (currently 82-37 my last 119 selections, as of this writing). Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
