Super Bowl Spread History: Odds, Lines and Results of Betting Spreads Ahead of Super Bowl 56

It's officially Super Bowl 56 week, and that means the eyes of the sports world are centered on Los Angeles, CA for the upcoming clash between the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals.

It's definitely worth taking a look at the Super Bowl betting history, specifically the point spreads on the biggest game in professional sports.

Super Bowl Spread

Looking at the current NFL odds on FanDuel Sportsbook, the Rams are currently favored by 4 points and own -112 odds to cover this spread. That means the Rams need to defeat the Bengals by at least 5 points while sports bettors need to bet $112 to make $100 on this bet.

On the other side, the Bengals are listed with -108 odds as the 4-point underdog.

What was the Biggest Spread in Super Bowl History?

Since 2010, only two Super Bowls have finished at kickoff with spreads of at least 5 points. This included Super Bowl 50, when the Carolina Panthers were favored by 5 over the Denver Broncos, and Super Bowl XLIV, when the Indianapolis Colts were favored by 5 over the New Orleans Saints.

The biggest recorded spread in Super Bowl history dates back to Super Bowl XXIX in 1995 (for the 1994 NFL season). The 13-3 San Francisco 49ers were favored by a stunning 18.5 points over the 11-5 San Diego Chargers. The 49ers ended up covering this spread and took down the Chargers, 49-26.

How Many Times Has the Underdog Won a Super Bowl?

Dating back to 1967, underdogs are 24-28-2 all-time against the spread (ATS). The underdog has actually won the Super Bowl 18 different times, with the most recent coming last year as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs despite entering the big game as 3-point underdogs.
