The Eagles are 7-2 in their last nine games against the spread while the Chiefs have covered in their last three meetings with the Eagles.

So, you’re considering a legal wager in a state where such things are allowed?

Like with roulette, if one color comes up several times in a row, you tend to bet on the opposite color.

Case in point: The past four Super Bowls have all been under the projected points total. Will that trend be snapped?

Last year, a trend was broken where the winning team had covered the spread in 12 consecutive Super Bowls. Not so in 2022.

Three of the past five winners were the team favored going in.

Here’s a look at how the past five Super Bowls have fared.
