The most interesting game of the day
The most interesting sporting event on Sunday is naturally the American football NFL final Super Bowl LVIII.
The most watched single sporting event in the world is also the highlight of the betting year. There are hundreds and hundreds of different attractions for the match and everything that happens around it. Veikkaus alone has almost 150 different objects for the match.
The specialty of this year’s Super Bowl betting is, of course Taylor Swift -specials. The number one artist in the world right now swinging the star forward of the Kansas City Chiefs Travis Kelce with has not gone unnoticed even by bookmakers. From whether Kelce will propose to Swift after the game, the betting market offers some of the most unique Taylor Swift-related bets.
In the Super Bowl itself, the same teams will meet as in 2020, i.e. Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers. At that time, the Chiefs won 31–20.
The most important pieces of the teams are the quarterback and the head coach. Compared to four years ago, the Chiefs still have these key roles in the hands of the same men Andy Reid’s while coaching and by Patrick Mahomes while building the game. However, in terms of playing style, the Chiefs are currently significantly more run-oriented than in 2020. In relation to their opponent, the Chiefs are not as good now as they were in 2020.
The San Francisco 49ers still have coaching Kyle Shanahan’s in hands, but in the game building Jimmy Garoppolo has changed to Brock Purdy. Purdy is such a legendary quarterback in the Super Bowl that he was drafted into the NFL in 2022 as the last pick of the final round. Purdy is an above-average QB in the NFL, but he doesn’t measure up to Mahomes, who has long been considered the best quarterback in the league.
The match is extremely even in advance, and the result will very likely be determined by individual successes or failures.
Based on the statistics of the regular season, the San Francisco 49ers should even be considered a clear favorite, but here it is definitely worth noting that the Super Bowl is a completely different event compared to the regular season matches. The experience of pressure points will inevitably play a big role in the Super Bowl. This advantage is strongly on the side of the Chiefs, as the team is in the final climax of the NFL for the fourth time in five years.
Although the Chiefs have improved from the regular season to the playoffs and the San Francisco 49ers have weakened accordingly, that is not entirely clear-cut either, because in their last semifinal against the Baltimore Ravens, the Chiefs did not convince much despite their 17–10 victory. Zero points scored in the second half is not an optimal start to the final.
The key player of the Kansas City Chiefs is quarterback Mahomes, along with the offensive powerhouse Travis Kelce. Due to the lack of wing forwards, the Chiefs offense may now be too dependent on Kelce’s rushes.
Similarly, in the 49ers’ attack, a more versatile player than Kelce will play a really big role Christian McCaffrey. Otherwise, the 49ers offense seems a little stronger than the Chiefs. Quite often, however, the Super Bowl ends up being decided in favor of the team with the better (better pressure-tolerant) quarterback.
The superiority of the Chiefs’ Mahomes as a quarterback is known to everyone, but still the San Francisco 49ers have kept their position as the betting market’s favorite (Betting 1.83–2.00). Personally, I’m pointing this specifically in the direction of the 49ers, because the Chiefs are sure to get a lot of play from regular bench athletes just because of Mahomes (and Kelce and Swift).
The subject of huge turnover, the Super Bowl is fairly honest in telling the odds of the teams’ true power. If there was no money for the 49ers, then the favorite position would change quickly. I assume that the “big/wise” money will play San Francisco in this match. I myself would bet on the 49ers for the winner with this information. The odds are still alive in this destination, but at the time of writing the tip, Veikkaus’ offer to the 49ers is the highest on the market.
In terms of points, the match may be lower than expected, despite two quite offensive quarterbacks. As the best game choice in that department, I raise the offered 1.93 coefficient from less than 47.5 points.
The Super Bowl starts at 1:35.
