"49ers and Chiefs Set to Clash in Super Bowl 58"

The San Francisco 49ers have opened as slight favorites over the Kansas City Chiefs for Super Bowl LVIII, but the point spread quickly dropped to -1.5 within 20 minutes of being posted. Despite the 49ers' initial status as consensus favorites, they had to survive back-to-back upset bids in the playoffs, while the Chiefs, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, overcame long odds to reach the Super Bowl for the fourth time in the past five seasons. The betting favorite has historically won 36 of 57 Super Bowls, with underdogs holding a 28-27-2 record against the spread.
