What are the 2023 Super Bowl odds?

Odds courtesey of SBK:

• Chiefs: 13/12
• Eagles: 6/7

This year’s championship is set to be one of the closest to date and it is estimated, according to the New York Times, that $16 billion (£13.2bn) will be wagered in just the US alone this weekend.

Kansas City had a minor statistical advantage but this has been dulled by injuries to the team’s starters, including key player Patrick Mahomes. His coach, Andy Reid, has said Mahomes wasn’t yet 100% but that he should have progressed in his recovery enough over the past two weeks that he was able to practice this week with no restrictions.

The Chiefs are also expected to maintain an edge when it comes to offense over the Eagles but the market believes the total for this Super Bowl could amount to 50.5 points.

However, according to ESPN, the experts have predicted the Eagles will steal the win with the points margin likely to be only four points. Of the 71 experts who were asked, 62 predicted the game will be decided by one touchdown or fewer.
