Super Bowl Betting Odds

The Super Bowl is perhaps the most watched single sporting event world wide every year. Regularly attracting over 100+ million viewers annually, mega corporations are willing to sink big money into advertising but they aren’t the only ones with big money riding on the event. Any sporting event that draws this much attention attracts mass wagering and the Super Bowl is no exception.

In fact, sportsbooks in Nevada alone take in over $90 million in bets on the Super Bowl annually, and those numbers are even higher overseas where sports betting is marketed to the masses. No other event draws the sheer number of betting lines than the Super Bowl does every year.

From bets on the game itself (before, during, after), to the crazy, wacky proposition bets, there is no detail surrounding the Super Bowl that doesn’t have a betting line. Read more below to find the latest odds to win this year’s Super Bowl and about the other ways to wager on it.

Super Bowl XLVII Betting Odds And Game Info

With the Super Bowl being the most bet-on game in the world, oddsmakers have obviously jumped all over this game line. The early point spread for Super Bowl XLVII has the 49ers favored by four-points over the Ravens. San Francisco has been the favorite in every one of their playoff games. But both teams should be comfortable with their role, as the Ravens have been underdogs in their last two games, with no one thinking that they would make it this far.

A bet on San Francisco would need a 49ers win by at least five points to make a profit. On the other side, a loss by three points or less by the Ravens would result in Baltimore getting the cover on the spread.

The Super Bowl XLVII matchup is set, as the Baltimore Ravens will meet the San Francisco 49ers. The 2013 Super Bowl will be held on Sunday, February 3 in the Louisiana Superdome. It’s the first Super Bowl appearance for the 49ers in nearly 20 years, while the Ravens are making their first since 2000.

Coverage of Super Bowl XLVII will be on CBS, with kickoff scheduled for 6:30 pm ET.
