Keep an eye on the point total as it will be interesting to see. The Eagles’ games, including the playoffs, saw the over being successful in 10 out of 19 matches. Conversely, the under prevailed in 11 out of the 19 games for Kansas City.
It is important to mention that both teams do not excel in terms of covering the spread. Philadelphia has a slightly better record with 10 wins and 9 losses against the spread this year. On the other hand, Kansas City has struggled more, managing only 7 wins, 11 losses, and 1 push in that department.

It is important to note that while these trends are intriguing, it is crucial to analyze the unique betting factors for each Super Bowl.
