Eccentric Betting Lines: Super Bowl

Tide Commercial Runs

Over Under line: 1.5 advertisements

As we all know, Tide (a subsidiary of Proctor and Gamble) took over both the 2018 and 2019 Super Bowl. Riding the wave of the Tide Pod meme, they delivered advertisements featuring everything from the Old Spice guy to David Harbour (the cop from Stranger Things). With less hype around Tide this time around, can P&G continue their dedication to virality, or do they pull back the horses? Let’s put some money on it. 

Percentage of Chiefs Touchdown drives in 7 plays or under

Over Under line: 65%

Lots of talk has been around the Chiefs’ ability to score quick. By quick, I mean very quick. During the playoffs, the chiefs have scored in seven plays or under at an astonishing 72.7% rate (8/11 touchdown drives). With their big play ability, and track team of Tyreek Hill, Sammy Watkins, Mecole Hardman at wide receiver, 6 points can be on the board before you even blink. During the regular season, the 49ers gave up a league low 5.9 yard per pass attempt, were 5th in total sacks (with 48 total sacks), allowed the least passing yards (169.2 a game), and were second in the NFL in total yards allowed. Will this high flying, pass happy, Chiefs offense be able to replicate the same big play ability this Sunday against a seemingly kryptonian opponent?
