The Super Bowl is the last gasp to bet on football — outside of the XFL — and this is the time with most bets possible. People love player props — and books like them too since fans usually lose money on them — and we’ve already taken a look at some Chiefs’ play props as well as the Niners’ player props. Now, it’s time to take a look at the game. We’re talking about all aspects of the game. The team totals, quarters, halves, game totals, and obviously the Super Bowl pick.

Spreads and lines come from our friends at BetMGM. Let’s start with the obvious. The first quarter.

First Quarter Lines

San Francisco 49ers v. Kansas City -0.5 points

Over – Under 10.5 points

As aforementioned, we are running out of time here so betting the game and walking away simply isn’t an option. It’s crazy to think that this game which has an over-under of 54 has a first-quarter over-under of ten points. The obvious bet would be to take the over and count the cash. That’s a quick way to start up on the night.

Well, we are taking the under for a few reasons. The first quarter is generally when teams are testing each other out. These two teams haven’t played in two weeks. There will be some rust. These two quarterbacks haven’t ever played in a Super Bowl. The lights are brighter. The speed is faster. It will take time to settle. So under it is. It’s crazy, I know. Also, sprinkle a bit on the Niners plus a half a point. The Chiefs have started out slowly the past two games. There’s no reason to expect less in this game.
