The Buffalo Bills, Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs have opened up a gap between themselves and the rest of the NFL in the betting market. The top three betting favorites are -150 to win the Super Bowl entering this week at Caesars Sportsbook, while the other 29 teams are +125. All three of those teams are double-digit favorites this week.
The Chiefs are the largest favorite in the Super Bowl era against a team on at least a five-game winning streak. The Bills are the second team in the last 40 seasons to be at least 12-point road favorites against a team with a winning record, joining the 2007 Patriots, which did it twice. The Eagles are the largest road favorites in the history of Thursday Night Football (since 2006).
However, the Eagles and Bills could both be on upset alert if recent trends hold. Over the past two seasons, double-digit road favorites are just 9-7 straight up, and 3-5 straight up when they are favored by at least 12 points. Double-digit home underdogs are up 28 units on the money line since the start of last season.
