The Super Bowl isn’t a popularity contest. If it were, it would be a matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the New England Patriots.
According to Emory professor Michael Lewis, who ranked the NFL’s best fan bases on economic and marketing factors in a USA Today article, the Cowboys and the Pats are tops in terms of popularity. Pennsylvanians can take solace knowing the Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers cracked the top five.
Earning a spot in the Super Bowl takes more than a winning smile, a Miss America wave, or a rabid fan base.
Since the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs punched their tickets to Super LIV, public opinion became a factor at sportsbooks. Not just with which team garnered bettors’ favor, but what markets are popular.
At Pennsylvania online sportsbooks, the Chiefs are 1.5-point favorites. Point spread, moneyline, over/under, and alternate spreads are the top plays in any NFL game, including the Super Bowl.
Here is a breakdown of the most popular Super Bowl betting markets at some PA online betting apps.
