Super Bowl Lines
The point spread rarely comes into play with the Super Bowl, meaning a winning bet often comes down to just picking the winner of the game. There have only been seven instances in Super Bowl history where the team that won straight up failed to cover the number.
It happened in Super Bowl LVI, when the Rams failed to cover (-4.5) in their 23-20 victory over the Bengals. The other six outcomes occurred in 2009, 2005, 2004, 1996, 1989 and 1976.
In the 2014-15 NFL finale between New England and Seattle, the closing consensus line was pick 'em, for the first time in Super Bowl history. The Patriots rallied for a 28-24 victory over the Seahawks.
Oddsmakers were on the money with their numbers in two Super Bowls, which produced pushes or ties. Those matchups took place in 1997 and 2000.
Super Bowl Black Sunday
The most infamous finale in Super Bowl history for oddsmakers was Super Bowl XIII. It was a lesson learned for everyone behind the betting counter.
The 13th installment saw the Steelers open as 4.5-point favorites over the Cowboys, and the number dropped to Pittsburgh -3.5 from action on Dallas.
Even though Dallas lost the game 35-31, early bettors cashed on the Cowboys +4.5, while late bettors won on Steelers -3.5. To this day, SBXIII is considered Black Sunday for sportsbooks.
Super Bowl Over/Under
The Super Bowl Over/Under wager is often referred to as the total. An opening number is set based on the expected combined points scored from both teams in the game. Bettors can wager on whether the two teams will go over or under that total.
The Over/Under has gone 29-29 over the past 58 Super Bowl matchups. No total was posted on Super Bowl I between the Green Bay Packers and Kansas City Chiefs.
In the 2019 Super Bowl, the New England Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Rams 13-3. The combined 16 points was the lowest Over/Under result in Super Bowl history. The 3 points by the Rams matched an all-time low in the big game, matching the Miami Dolphins from way back in Super Bowl VI.
The highest Super Bowl Over/Under outcome occurred in Super Bowl XXIX. The San Francisco 49ers demolished the San Diego Chargers, 49-26.
In Super Bowl 57, the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles combined for the second-most points in the NFL finale, with 73 points in K.C.'s 38-35 victory.
Super Bowl Division Betting Results
The NFL is made up of eight divisions and some groups have made more appearances in the NFL finale than others.
Also, some divisions have performed better too.
Below is a break down of all four divisions in both the AFC and NFC conferences.
AFC
The Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots are tied for the most victories in Super Bowl history. Thus, the AFC North and AFC East lead this breakdown.
The AFC East has nine Super Bowl wins, but the AFC North has a better record by percentage at 8-4.
AFC DIVISION-BY-DIVISION SUPER BOWL RESULTS
AFC East: 9-12 SU, 7-13-1 ATS, 10-11 O/U

AFC West: 10-11 SU, 10-11 ATS, 13-7 O/U*

- Dallas Cowboys (5)
- New York Giants (4)
- Washington Commanders (3)
- Philadelphia Eagles (2)
NFC SUPER BOWL DIVISION BY DIVISION RESULTS
