Pros push 49ers betting lines up in the Super Bowl, but most of the bets still on the Chiefs
The early Super Bowl money went on the Chiefs, causing betting lines to drop from 2 or 2 1/2 points to 1 or 1 1/2 points depending on the sportsbook
LAS VEGAS (AP) — The early Super Bowl money went on the Chiefs, causing betting lines to drop from 2 or 2 1/2 points to 1 or 1 1/2 points, depending on the sportsbook.
Then the professional bettors came in big on the 49ers, pushing the lines back to where they opened.
Westgate dropped all the way to a point before the number rebounded to make San Francisco a 2 1/2-point favorite over Kansas City in Sunday's game. The Niners also are 2 1/2-point favorites at FanDuel Sportsbook.
There are a number of ways to bet the Super Bowl, from the traditional wagering on the point spread and total points to proposition bets that can vary on which player scores the first touchdown to whether the Chiefs and 49ers will combine to score more points than an NBA team.
