The over/under for Sunday’s title game between the Chiefs and 49ers moved down at a few Las Vegas sportsbooks, and no 55s were available Friday.
Hank “The Hammer” Goldberg likes San Francisco to cover as a 1-point underdog to Kansas City and expects the game to go under the total of 54½.
These wagers on the spread or total didn’t require a drop of sweat. Counting down the 10 easiest covers in NFL title game history.
Eight Las Vegas sportsbooks listed Kansas City as a 1-point favorite over San Francisco on Thursday, and four had the Chiefs as 1½-point favorites.
Circa Sports listed 90 players for the “who will score the first touchdown” prop in the Super Bowl. The two long snappers each took bets at astronomical odds.

Nevada sportsbooks have lost money on only two Super Bowls since the state started tracking them in 1991. But the books suffered their worst Super Bowl loss ever in 1979.
A year after the Rams and Patriots produced the fewest combined points in Super Bowl history, bettors are banking on the Chiefs and 49ers to pile up points in the Feb. 2 game.
The Chiefs have the edge at quarterback. But if San Francisco’s defensive front harasses Patrick Mahomes, the 49ers can control the game with their ground attack.
