The Kansas City Chiefs are back in the Super Bowl for a second straight year, looking to become the first back-to-back NFL title-holders since the New England Patriots did it after winning XXXVIII and then XXXIX in 2005 with Tom Brady under center.
It’s that same Brady nearly two decades (!) later that will be the quarterback of the NFC champion, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. You can bet that storyline is going to be talked about A LOT over the next couple of weeks.
Now that we know who’s in, we can start placing wagers on the big game, so here are the opening numbers as of Monday morning.

Spread: Chiefs -3
I’ve seen some places as the opening line at Chiefs -3.5, and if that was the case here where it dropped to -3, it makes complete sense to me. How do you not bet on Brady to at least cover with that extra half-point?
That might explain how it’s dropped to -3. And I don’t think I see it moving from that spot over the next two weeks unless there’s a huge injury we don’t know about. Which side am I going with? No spoilers but, uh, let’s just say I agree with what Steven Ruiz wrote hours after the matchup was set (fine, that’s a spoiler!).
Over/Under: 56.5

This has moved around a bunch, but this seems on the money (no pun intended, I promise).
You have the No. 2 and 3 offenses in DVOA playing each other, with the No. 22 defensive DVOA against No. 5 (the Bucs). Assuming the Chiefs continue to put up points and Brady keeps slinging to Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and the running game is just effective enough, this feels like a 30-27 kind of Super Bowl and not a stinker like LIII in which the Patriots and Rams put up 16 points total.
Moneylines: Chiefs -160, Buccaneers +135
Not a ton of value taking the Chiefs there, but I’m sure some big bettors will throw down six-figure bets on Kansas City to win.
