We had a complete line flip last year for Super Bowl 57.
00:06
Right move, Phil.
00:07
Right move.
00:08
Don't worry about losing that game, this is the right move.
00:11
Do we hang the banner still?
00:12
I think you should.
00:13
CLV banner?
00:14
I mean, that's for sure.
00:15
Yeah, we can find the trash cans out here now, I think.
00:18
We can take a photo with them.
00:20
So I think, I don't know, is there anything, so it's with the Chiefs, right?
00:24
From prior Super Bowls, Ben, that you're using as you enter into this one?
00:29
Not necessarily, because I think that's one of the fascinating things of Super Bowl trends,
00:34
and I love the trends.
00:35
I've looked at the last decade of Super Bowl results and how short these numbers are in
00:39
comparison to, as we talked about, the late 90s, and if you won the NFC, you were laying
00:44
double digits in that eventual Super Bowl championship game.
00:47
But it's always interesting, because you use those trends to inform what you see on the
00:51
most significant stage, and even the fact that Chiefs have been here, Kev, for the fourth
00:55
time in the last five years, this is a very different version of Kansas City than even
01:00
last year's team, or the team that faced off against the very team they will on Sunday
01:04
inside Allegiant Stadium in the San Francisco 49ers.
01:07
But what does stand out to me, Donnie, when you look at these numbers, there's not all
01:11
that much movement in the spread, right?
01:13
It opened very briefly at three in favor of San Francisco, ton of public love for Kansas
01:18
City, gets down to one and a half, a big bet back on the 49ers, now two and a hook.
01:23
We're talking about a field goal or less.
01:25
The last time we saw a number greater than five was way back in February of 2008.
01:31
It was that Super Bowl between the Steelers and the Cardinals.
01:34
Super Bowl 43.
01:35
That was the last time we saw a number that was greater than five points for a Super Bowl
01:39
matchup, showing you how thin those razor edges are once you reach this stage of the
01:44
season.
01:45
Which is fantastic.
01:46
We're not dealing with, you know, three touchdown spreads, and it's going to be a blowout to
01:47
just dip into the props, but also, if you see that graphic come up again, we always
01:52
go back to, nobody wants to bet against Mahomes.
01:54
Oh my God, the Chiefs win all the time.
01:56
Well, the betting public apparently doesn't care about that.
01:58
Chiefs three and a half down to three.
02:00
Chiefs minus two and a half down to the Eagles as a minus one and a half.
02:03
You saw that line right off the bat go from, let's just say, two and a half to one, and
02:06
right back up to two and a half.
02:07
So apparently, as we're lining these games up, not a lot of people are having fear betting
02:11
against the Kansas City Chiefs when you would think that most people are like, "Oh, just
02:14
Michael Jordan and lay it down here on Kansas City."
02:17
And that's not the case.
02:18
I do wonder how much of those moves that we saw, which is a crazy thing to say, how much
02:23
of those moves, I mean, hey, listen, this is pro football today.
02:28
I wonder how much of those moves, though, were public betting versus a big sharp play,
02:34
versus a big syndicate play, versus a huge bet that came in leading into that football
02:39
game.
02:40
If everybody last year was on the birds, looking at Philadelphia as the best team in the National
02:43
Football League.
02:44
If you look at Super Bowl LV, in which the Chiefs were the favorite, a ton of the public
02:49
handle was on Kansas City against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers.
02:53
Did they have enough to keep up with this lethal Chiefs offense?
02:57
And yet, Joe, the line worked against them, and of course, that was the correct movement
03:01
as Tampa won Super Bowl LV 31-9.
03:04
It was one of the more dismal outings we have seen out of this KC team that has been on
03:08
this dynastic run.
