Here is the raw data from the regular season. Note that now 17 games are played per team.
| Team | Points Scored | Points Allowed |
|---|---|---|
| Baltimore | 28.41 | 16.47 |
| Kansas City | 21.82 | 17.29 |
| San Francisco | 28.88 | 17.53 |
| Detroit | 27.12 | 23.24 |
In the AFC championship, I show Baltimore a 3.7 point favorite and total points of 42. The actual line is Baltimore -3.5 and total of 44.
In the NFC championship, I show SF also a 3.7 point favorite and total points of 48.4. The actual line is SF -7 and total of 51.
This makes Detroit + 7 looks like a good bet! Both unders are moderately good.
Here are some hypothetical Super Bowl matchups:
Bal vs SF: EV, total of 45.5
Bal vs Det: Bal -4, total of 47.5
KC vs SF: SF -3.5, total of 43
KC vs Det: EV, total of 44.5
The question for the poll is who do you WANT to win the Super Bowl? Multiple votes allowed.
Quote: unJonI like. But unlike the Super Bowl, shouldn’t you add a home field advantage factor to your calculations?

Good point! That is an embarrassing mistake.
One takeaway I had from Billy Walter's book Gambler is that the home field advantage is not always worth 2.5 to 3 points, but it varies depending on the two teams.
However, since I'm keeping this simple, I will make it worth 3. I do this by giving 1.5 points to the home team and taking 1.5 away from the visiting team.
This makes both Baltimore and SF 6.7-point favorites.
That makes the line on the SF/Det game pretty close. However, it makes Bal -3.5 look like a decent bet. However, it is almost against my religion to bet on a favorite. Is there a significant injury with the Ravens?

Their tight end, Mark Andrews, is considered the second best TE in football. He has been out a while but is a ‘probable’ to play this weekend.
His sub, Isaiah Likely, has played great in his stead. I have a bunch of bets on Likely having a big game. I got around 16-1 on him scoring first TD.
KC is the team that suffered more injuries last weekend.
I think the line is low solely because of ‘the Mahomes factor’. Compare Mahomes postseason record to Jackson’s….
Those factors may not go into the Wiz databank, but they certainly go into most bettors’.
(lol I lived in MI for years I know they won’t)

Washington Post is reporting early lines are in the range of 49ers -2 to -2.5
Quote: ThatDonGuyWashington Post is reporting early lines are in the range of 49ers -2 to -2.5

Early line is SF a 1.5 to 2.5-point favorite with total of 47.5.
Pinnacle:
SF -1.5 (-102)
KC +1.5 (-108)
Over 47.5 (-102)
Under 47.5 (-110)
So, I'm liking SF and really liking the under.

I think your math says SF -3.5 so you should in theory like the favorite.

You're right. As usual, I blow it on the easy math.
Quote: AZDuffmanLocal book has it SF -1. I do not remember another SB being that close. Moneylines are six cents difference either way. Question for all is would you pay six cents vig to get that point? How many NFL games are decided by one point?
link to original post
About 4% of nfl games are decided by one point (one way or another). How many -1 games are decided by one point? Presumably somewhat a higher % if you believe lines are efficient and outcomes form a normal distribution with the mean equal to the line and the variance equal to what is implied by teaser and pleaser odds.
even though it's by a small no. I'm very surprised that the Chiefs are dogs
Mahomes is so great and he's 14-3 lifetime in the playoffs
this is his 4th time in the SB and he's already won 2 out of 3
and the Chiefs have other very strong players - Kelce, Pacheco, and Rice
yes, I know the 9ers have very strong players too
still - it seems off to me
the 9ers have not come even close to covering in their 2 previous playoff games
they were 10.5 faves over the Pack and won by only 3__________7.5 faves over the Lions and won by only 3

I guess you didn’t watch the game? It took a 4th down thread the needle pass with less than 2 minutes to go for the Lions to cover!
Apparently Mahomes is 9-3 STRAIGHT UP when an underdog.

I accept Purdy as a potentially great QB but I don't believe he's the equal of Mahomes - the QB play is so crucial

I’m not sure who I think will win! Mahomes is the best player in football. If you traded Mahomes for Purdy the 49ers are 7 point favorites. In of course a less flashy way, McCaffrey is the second best player in football. Trade McCaffrey for Pacheco and Chiefs are 4 point favorites over 49ers. And usually running backs are just interchangeable pieces.
I’m not even sure who I want to win!
Quote: WizardAny trusted friends looking to bet KC +1.5 or over 47.5? I'm looking to bet the other way, even money.

I definitely would have bet with you except I decided to stop all betting several months ago
I wanted to explain why since I just indicated I liked the Chiefs in this thread
I only enjoy analyzing a few games now
you are definitely 100% trustworthy
in case anybody missed this point:
betting with the Wizard might get you a significantly better deal than betting with a book -
there should be no vig - so if you win, you're win should be 10% more than a win betting with a book
and the Wizard should be getting a better deal too if he wins

Thank you! In my sports betting circle we often say "Why go to strangers?" Why pay the -110 if you don't have to.

How much of your data includes ‘old’ games where an extra point was a total gimme and not the 15 yard longer kick it is now? Lots of games have teams going for two if there is a defensive penalty on the try. And general score inflation would also make ‘unusual’ scores more prevalent. My point being there is likely more value in the 5’s, 8’s, 2’s and 9’s than the more common numbers.

I think all of them. For that analysis, I used games from 2000 to 2014.
Quote: billryanThe fix is in, and almost half the country is in on it. The NFL and their Masters have teamed up to fix the game, have Travis Kelce win the MVP, and then announce his engagement to Taylor Swift on worldwide television. This will somehow cause tens of millions of people to run out and vote for her Uncle Joe.

I know this is the conspiracy theory going around, but it sounds like the plot to a short story some 6th grade Swiftie would write for a class assignment.
But I will probably root for the Chiefs because so many people seem to hate them for the dumbest reasons.

I’m working on my list, but…
I thought it was odd that these sheets do not include the bet number. I.E. The number you tell the Ticket Writer what you're betting on. 🤔
Scroll to the bottom of the last page and you'll see why.
Apparently you can browse and make your picks on your phone. When you're ready, you give a code to the Ticket Writer or kiosk to get all your bets, all in one shot. 👍👍
Great idea, but kinda weird that they buried this info on the last page. Particularly when you consider that they put it in the bottom margin, and that margin is blank on every other page. 😵💫

If you are inclined to bet “no” or “under” on any Kelce props my advice (FWIW) is to wait. The public is going to be heavy on the “yes” and “over” on all of them, IMO.

Watching the market of lines move up so far. Let’s see where they are next week. Sometimes I’m right. Sometimes I’m wrong.
another prop shown on Kelce from covers.com linking to Points Bet is also very good on the No
I missed it in my OP
he averages .44 TDs per game - it's even money that he'll score a TD which means it should be -120 that he won't
he's scored a TD in 7 of his last 18 games - and 3 TDs in his last 10
if you base calculation of an edge by his scoring on 7 TDs in 18 games that's an edge of almost 12%
if you base the calculation of an edge on him scoring 3 TDs in his last 10 games it's much higher - more than 28%
of course all of this is just speculation - anything can happen - but it looks like the No is a good bet
Edit - I just noticed - per covers.com PointsBet raised the Yes from even money to +105

A good friend of mine has two tickets for the 2024 Super Bowl, 50 yard line box seats. He paid $52,500 each but he didn't realize last year when he bought them, it was going to be on the same day as his wedding. If you are interested, he is looking for someone to take his place...It's at St. Michaels Church, at 3pm. The bride's name is Roxanne, she's 5'4", about 115 lbs., good cook too. She'll be the one in the white dress.

Because that isn't how those corporations operate and it isn't even in their best interest to do so.
The trader making $50,000 per year has no incentive to do any extra work. And even if it they were able to only hire the sharpest and most loyal workers in the world, it is still more efficient to just use as much of the work they've done and data they've collected from the previous 21 weeks, rather than try to recreate anything for the 1,000 or so props they put up. Then they could just let price discovery and market forces take over. If we look at it from that perspective, we have 10 to 12 days to get as much money down as possible. If we look at it from the perspective that everything is already accounted for in any number, there's a lot less room for profit.

No postgame Swelce kiss has to be good. It's a yes if KC wins and no if they lose, so it's like getting SF moneyline at +165, right?

I understand what you are saying. But if you and UnJon are aware of this, what makes you think the bookies aren’t?!? And wouldn’t have ALREADY adjusted their lines? Like if the football analysis has Kelce getting on average 8 catches, then make the over/under 9.

Nope. SF wins and there is a kiss to console Kelce. KC wins and there is a kiss to congratulate him. If Swift’s publicist thinks it is good for business….
Quote: rxwineThis thread has a generic title. I want to ask if the vibe of las vegas is any different for the first Super Bowl, than any other big event. I lived there 12 years total. Much of time I couldn't tell you if anything really different was going on even if a big convention was in town. Of course, maybe if I had been down on the Strip every day I might have noticed, but regardless I didn't really notice.

I personally haven't felt anything different from any other Super Bowl, but I live way out on the west side. Tomorrow I might go to the Super Bowl Experience at the Mandalay Bay.
