2021 Super Bowl against the spread (ATS)

Chiefs -3.5 (+100) Buccaneers +3.5 (-120)Bet now!

The defending champion Chiefs need to win by at least 4 points in order to cover the spread in Super Bowl 55. It would take a $100 bet to earn a profit of $100 if they succeed.

The Buccaneers can cover the 3.5-point spread either by winning outright in an upset or by staying within 3 points in a loss. Their side of the spread requires a $120 bet for a profit of $100.

Different spreads exist for each quarter or half. Alternate lines come with different odds related to each team’s likelihood of covering. For example, the Chiefs can be taken on a full-game spread of -1.5 with less profitable odds of -155 for a win by 2 or more points.

2021 Super Bowl Over/Under (O/U)

Over: 56.5 (-110) Under: 56.5 (-110)Bet now!
