In our lifetime, and probably in your children's lifetime, the state of Utah will not contemplate legalizing sports betting.
Have no fear, online sites like Skybook have been taking bets from those in Utah since 1997. That will continue with this year's Super Bowl.
The line on this game has hovered between -1.5 and -2 favoring the Chiefs.
Those who believe in the Eagles are mostly taking them on the money line at a more favorable price than the point spread. Chiefs backers are mostly taking what is generally a 1 1/2-point line, believing Kansas City will not only win but cover.
“I think we’ll get a little more Eagles bets (overall), but probably close to 50-50,” said BetMGM Sportsbook trading manager Christian Cipollini in an interview with the Associated Press. “I don’t think we’ll see either team get past 60%.”
Kansas City will go for an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl title when it faces Philadelphia on Feb. 9 in New Orleans.
The Chiefs had a stretch this season when they failed to cover seven consecutive games, but they won six of them.
And give Patrick Mahomes the ball in the fourth quarter with a chance to win, he usually does.
“There’s a lot of that black magic talk out there,” Cipollini said. “It doesn’t matter what they did, they find a way to win. There’s obviously the ref talk they are plainly on their side and all that. I think we’re going to get a lot of Chiefs bets just off people saying they’re destined to win. But I’m a little biased because I think this Eagles team is better.”
