There’s no event bigger in American sports than the Super Bowl and the odds available are generous and versatile. This means that you don’t have to back a winner to make a bet, as there’s plenty of great alternatives.
Chief amongst them are Super Bowl 57 over under odds, which not only provide more betting opportunities, but also a way for all sports betting fans to enhance their enjoyment of this epic event – no matter who they think will win. The odds might not always match our predictions, but we’re always glad over/under odds are available.
An over/under betting odds market is any market where you’re predicting whether a particular variable of a game will be over or under an amount set by the bookmaker. Therefore, a Super Bowl LVII is any such market related to the NFL’s grandest showdown.
The most common and popular type of over/unders sports market on the Super Bowl 57 – as is the case with American football generally – is the total points spread. This is a market based on the complete number of points scored at the end of the game. For instance, you get around evens, or +100 odds (these may vary depending on the bookmaker) on over/under markets at 51 points for the showdown between Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.
How it works is simple: if you back ‘over’, and more than 51 points are scored, you win. It really is as simple as that.
There’s also more variety here than it may initially seem. Many bookmakers offer a broad selection of different over/under markets with various points. As an example, you may bet at 40 points, or 58 points, over or under, with odds reflecting the changing nature of the likelihood of those outcomes. Some other bookmakers have a single over/under totals market – usually set somewhere around the evens odds mark.
Other over/under markets are possible too. You could bet on the points scored per quarter, or by each individual team. There may also be additional over/under markets at the discretion of the bookmaker. Really, anything that has a variable on which you could predict the amount could be used for this type of market. For instance, one such market is the shirt number of the first touchdown scorer, set at 14.5.
The only real restriction is you have to bet on whether something will be over or under an amount at the Super Bowl. The rest is down to the imagination of the bookmaker – although total points remain the most common example.
So, why choose these types of markets over simply backing a team to win? Or over any of the many other market alternatives that can be found? Here’s a list of pros and cons to help you better understand the appeal, and potential downsides, of the over/under markets:
Pros:
Cons:
In order to keep things simple, we’re going to stick to a prediction of the most common Super Bowl 57 over under odds. That would be on the total points around the number of 51.
We actually think there’s a very good chance of the points going over this amount, considering the aggressive offense of both teams, and the talents of the likes of Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, Travis Kelce and Miles Sanders, to give a few examples.
Be sure to check out the odds and see whether they suit your predictions. Keep in mind too that the Super Bowl LVII has very competitive odds and promotions. That means there’s always the opportunity to utilize betting offers and promo codes for an even better deal.
We think all sports betting fans should be happy about the inclusion of over/under betting odds at Super Bowl LVII, even if you don’t happen to find odds that work with your predictions this year. That’s because they’re part of a grand betting buffet – all of which comes together to provide a versatile, competitive selection of options. This gives you more chances to find the right odds that work for you, your predictions, and how you like to bet.
