Two elite offenses will meet in Super Bowl LV on Sunday, as the Kansas City Chiefs face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Star quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady will take full advantage of the many weapons around them, hoping that they can maintain just enough distance to come away with the win.

The total for this game had shifted slightly in recent days before settling at an over/under of 56.5 points, which forecasts a decent amount of scoring on Sunday. However, FanDuel Sportsbook data shows that bettors are predominantly riding with the over in this game.

Almost 71% of bets are on the over for the Super Bowl with almost 69% of the money handled on the over as well. That clearly shows the public is expecting these two teams to blow past the projected total.

The public's choice of over shouldn't be too surprising, though, given the talents on both offenses.

Kansas City led the league in yards per game (415.8) and put up the sixth-most points per contest (29.6), while Tampa Bay wasn't too far behind in YPG (384.1) and was even ahead of the Chiefs in PPG (30.8).

While the weather was once projected to have an impact on Sunday, this evening's forecast is now stress-free, clearing the way for these teams to operate with perfect conditions and likely score at will.
