Super Bowl 58 Odds and Predictions
Super Bowl LVIII will finally happenĀ following a gruelingĀ season and playoff run. The San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs will square off in an epic gameĀ for the Lombardi Trophy in Las Vegas. And we've got the Super Bowl 2024 predictions and odds right here for you!
Season Take Away's
It's clear thatĀ Kansas City improved theirĀ offenseĀ and dealt with any shortcomingsĀ from the regular season. What's more, the ChiefsĀ even prevailed in two awayĀ games during the playoffsĀ versus theĀ Bills and the top-seededĀ Ravens. ToĀ get a shot at theĀ championship game, San Francisco, the top-seeded team in the NFC, had to overcome theĀ Packers andĀ Lions in stunning fashion.
This is a replay of Super Bowl 54,Ā which happened four years previously and saw QBĀ Patrick Mahomes win hisĀ inaugural Super Bowl for the Chiefs. Currently starting for the 49ers, QBĀ Brock Purdy (unfairly calledĀ "Mr. Irrelevant" by some)Ā is going to be the first quarterback selected with the lowest overall pick to become a starterĀ in Super Bowl history.
What can we expect from this clash? Is it score-heavy with a focus on offense, or a slow and steady effort withĀ defense? Who'll be the MVP of the Super Bowl? Visit How To Bet for all the latest info and let's take a look at Super Bowl predictions for 2024 below.

Hereās when the Super Bowl 58 begins.
Odds on Who Will Win Super Bowl 58
The 49ers' position as the clear favorite for the victory in the Super BowlĀ hasn't altered in the past week. San Francisco remains the odds-on favorite, which has been the case in every one of their playoff games this year. Here are the best Super Bowl 58 NFL betting odds that you should be aware of.
Spread: 49ers (-2)
Moneyline: 49ers (-130) / Chiefs (+110)
Over/under: 47.5
49ers Super Bowl Odds
The 49ers currently have -130 odds to win from the bookies. San Francisco (the favorite) has a spread of -2, which means that the team must triumph by more than two points for bettors to win the bet.
When San Francisco is at theirĀ peak, the teamĀ is downright toughĀ to defeat. In the past two years, the 49ers are lethal when Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey, and Deebo Samuel start every game. When this happens, the 49ers have gone 15-1 overall, including in the post-season, and have outscored rivalsĀ by 15.7 points per game.
Nick Bosa is another dangerous pass-rusher for the 49ers. This season, the youngĀ defensive end was third in pressures (95) and second in quarterback hits (35) in the entire NFL. He's the one that will give Mahomes the most trouble.
Chiefs Super Bowl Odds
The Chiefs have +110 to win the Super Bowl, which makes them the underdog in this matchup.
No one should doubt Mahomes in a championship game (heās already got two Super Bowl rings), as he's proven time and again just how savvy and talented he is in clutch games as a quarterback. Chris Jones, a defensive lineman, is a formidable player forĀ the Chiefs, as heĀ led all NFL defensive linemen in pressures (75),Ā sacks (10.5), andĀ quarterback hits (33) during the current season.
Chiefsā running back,Ā Isiah Pacheco,Ā also comes into the game with a lot of momentum. During the regular season, the talented RBĀ has scored a TDĀ in seven consecutive matches, which is the longest active streak in the NFL.
Favorite to Win the Super Bowl
Super Bowl betting experts have the 49ers as the favorite to win the championship, but why exactly? Well, for one, Kyle Shanahan is one of the most interesting offensive-minded coaches in the entire league. He has routinely coached the team out of difficult situations and the 49ers as a team has hummed along on offense all throughout the regular season and the playoffs.
Thankfully, Shanahan has the offensive players to pull off such a victory against the Chiefs, as stars like Brock Purdy, Deebo Samuel, Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, and Brandon Aiyuk will all be major parts of the 49ers machine on Sunday.
Letās not forget that San Francisco has been excellent on the defensive end as well, and we fully expect defensive experts Fred Warner, Dre Greenlaw, Nick Bosa, Arik Armstead, and Javon Hargrave to make Mahomes uncomfortable and disrupt the fantastic Chiefsā offense.
Whatās more, the 49ers arenāt likely to forget that it was the Chiefs that defeated them in the 2020 Super Bowl, and San Francisco will be ready for redemption this time around. They have the coaching staff, the players, and the motivation to hoist the Lombardi Trophy in Las Vegas this year.
Super Bowl 58 Best Bets
Thereās a lot more to betting on the Super Bowl than just picking the winning team. Player props and the MVP are also major bets for gamblers to try out on Super Bowl Sunday. Just be aware of the latest Super Bowl odds and lines before wagering.
Must-know player prop bets
Isiah Pacheco (Chiefs) Longest Rush OVER 14.5 Yards (-120)
PachecoĀ is the primary running back for KCĀ because of his quickness and fury. He has made 10 rushes of 15 yards or higher this season (13 total), and he's been adept and making his own space to dodge opponents. The 49ers' run defense deteriorated somewhatĀ throughout the course of the season,Ā although they still gave up 15 rushing yards to an RBĀ in 10 out of 19 games. There are going to be enough times in this game where PachecoĀ becomes the main guy on offense.
Christian McCaffrey (49ers) OVER 4.5 receptions (-122)
McCaffrey will probably be among the most wagered-on players beforeĀ Super Bowl 58 begins. McCaffrey reached a career-high in rushing yards (1,459) and hit double figures in rushing TDs in this excellent season.
Five games in a row have seen McCaffrey with at least four receptions, and he evenĀ had seven receptions against the Lions.
Brock Purdy will turn to McCaffrey for quick, simple targets to avoid issues with risky passes across the center of the field, which is necessary due to the tough Chiefs' defense.
Super Bowl MVP bet
Although Patrick Mahomes is the bookiesā favorite to pick up the award at odds of +125 (DraftKings), that may well depend on whether the Chiefs win or not. Itās practically impossible for a player to win the MVP if heās on the losing team, unless he somehow has one of the greatest games in history and his side still loses. The MVP is always one of the hardest Super Bowl predictions of 2024.
Brock Purdy has decent odds of +225 (DraftKings) to pick up the Super Bowl MVP award. After leading his 49ers to the covetedĀ Super Bowl in the first season in a starting role, Purdy is not irrelevant anymore and has been one of the strongest points of this fantastic San Francisco team. Purdy's playoff stats are nothing to shout about. His regular season MVP odds of winning are low, but he'll be active at the right moment, and the 49ers can't win without a mammoth game from Purdy.
