Gaze into the Future at the Super Bowl LVII Odds
Before every NFL season, the oddsmakers put out lines on each team to win it all and take home the Lombardi Trophy. We call these the Super Bowl odds and you can find them right here at BMR, not with just one trusted online sportsbook, but with several. Online sportsbooks don’t all have the same Super Bowl odds so make sure to check them out before you decide to place a wager because it is always important to get the biggest bang for your betting buck.

Okay, so how do you read these Super Bowl odds, you might ask? Well, let’s check out the Super Bowl LVII odds for the big game scheduled to take place on February 12, 2023, in Glendale, Arizona home of the Arizona Cardinals.

For example
Kansas City Chiefs +575

As you can see the Kansas City Chiefs have the smallest number (+575) because the oddsmakers believe the Chiefs are the favorite to win the Super Bowl next year.
But what does +575 mean? Simply put, all of these numbers reflect the payout the bettor will receive on a $100 wager.

So, in this case, if you were to wager $100 on the Kansas City Chiefs to win Super Bowl LVII then you would make $575, and in addition, you would get your $100 investment returned for a grand total of $675.

Okay so maybe you are a Raiders fan and you believe they will shock the world and win the Super Bowl this season. Well, those odds of +5000 look rather enticing, don’t they? That means if you put up $100 you will get $5000 as well as your $100 initial investment for a total of $5100 if the Raiders win the Super Bowl and bring the Lombardi Trophy back to Sin City!

Oh, and you don’t have to bet exactly $100 on these wagers. You can bet any denomination you wish, whether it is lower or higher than $100. For instance, a $50 bet would get you $2500 and your initial investment of $50 for a total return of $2550 if the Raiders win it all, according to the Super Bowl LVII odds of +5000.

Don’t sweat the math. All you need to know is how much you want to risk because when you make your wager the online sportsbook of your choice will instantly show you how much you can win. It’s really that simple.

What’s a Point Spread?
If you want to bet on the Big Game then you need to decide which team you believe will cover the point spread. A point spread is the bookie’s way of leveling the playing field so that the underdog gets an advantage. Otherwise, without a point spread, everyone would be betting on the big favorites and crushing the bookmakers which would end betting as we wish we knew it.

And as blissful as that scenario is, because we love taking the bookie’s money, it is not the real world. The books, like you, are in this to make money and that’s why they charge a 10 percent commission on every bet, known as the vig. But that’s getting ahead of ourselves because we are focusing on the point spread.

Let’s assume the best team in the league is playing the worst team. How does the bookie even this game up so there will be as many people betting on the favorite as the underdog? Ah, a point spread someone said a long time ago!

Back on December 20^th, 2020, the New York Jets traveled to LA to take on the Rams. It was such a mismatch that the oddsmakers made the Rams a 17-point favorite over the hapless Jets and their failure to launch offense.

Simply put, this means the Jets get a 17 point head start so when the game ends, we simply add 17 points to the Jets’ final score, and if that number is greater than what the Rams scored then the Jets’ backers would win their wagers. If not, then Rams’ bettors would cash their tickets instead.

But a funny thing happened in this game. Not only did the Jets cover the 17-point spread but they pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the season and defeated the Rams, 23-20! Don’t you wish you had the Jets on the moneyline instead of the point spread? What, what’s that you say? You don’t know what a moneyline is? Ah, then come this way.

What’s a Moneyline?
When betting on football games, including the Super Bowl, we normally think of the line or the point spread. But the oddsmakers provide an alternative for those who want to bet a team to win the game outright without any advantages to the underdog or handicaps to the favorite. Thus, we have moneylines but the oddsmakers need to make sure that those betting the favorite incur a risk greater, sometimes much greater, than their initial investment while those brave enough to bet the underdog without a head start should reap a reward greater than their wager.

Let’s use the previous example, the New York Jets versus the Los Angeles Rams. Instead of the Rams -17 (which also means the Jets +17) there was also a moneyline to be had but the odds were so steep on the Rams it would be foolhardy for anyone to risk the cost of a living room set just to make enough money for a night of eating and drinking with the boys.

Specifically, the Rams were -1800/+1000. This means that in order to bet the Rams with no point spread, just to win the game, you would have to bet $1800 to win $100. However, if you decided that the Jets would pull a stunner and defeat their superior adversaries on the road then you would risk $100 to win $1000. That was only one of two wins for the Jets last season but it paid off handsomely for their moneyline backers!

What’s a Total?
At Bookmakers Review we not only show you the lines from all of the industry’s top-notch online sportsbooks but we allow our users to see the totals at all of these shops as well. Oh right, you’re not sure what a total is. Let’s discuss, shall we?

It’s really quite simple. When perusing the NFL odds, you will see the oddsmakers post totals, which is simply their prediction as to how many combined points will be scored by both teams when the game is over. This total includes overtime if there is one (or more), and not just the end of regulation.

Let’s use the example we have been using throughout, the Jets/Rams game on December 20^th of 2020. In that contest, most of the online sportsbooks had a total of 44 ½ which means bettors are allowed to bet over or under that number. As we know now, the final score of the game was 23-20 which means 43 combined points were scored between the two teams. Those who bet under 44 ½ would have won their wager while those who bet over 44 ½ would have lost their bet. Simple, right?

NFL Prop Bets
Now that you know the basics, we should make you aware of NFL props, or proposition bets. These are fun bets that can make you some real money if you take them seriously and do your homework. You can find NFL prop odds on any game during the regular season or in the playoffs.

However, the Super Bowl odds are jam-packed with prop bets and some of them are crazier than most. These Super Bowl props are not your run-of-the-mill totals on rushing yards, passing yards, sacks, etc... Oh, no, we are talking about the color of the Gatorade that will be dumped on the winning coach at the end of the game. Yeah, they’ve got a prop for that when you’re betting the Super Bowl!

Or maybe you want to take a gamble on how long the national anthem will last? The total usually checks in around two minutes but it all depends on who is doing the singing. The more “enthusiastic” the musical artist, the more likely the total will be higher.

The Super Bowl odds last year on the length of the national anthem was 1 minute 59 seconds. However, the duo of Jazmine Sullivan and Eric Church belted out the patriotic tune for 2 minutes and 17 seconds, 18 seconds over the total, cashing for all of those who bet over in this Super Bowl prop bet.
