The Chiefs are two-point underdogs in the latest 2024 Super Bowl odds from the SportsLine Consensus, while the over/under is 47.5.

Top Super Bowl 58 predictions

One of the Super Bowl score projections is from Larry Hartstein, who is 78-56 (+1544) over his last 134 NFL against the spread picks, backing the Chiefs to beat the 49ers in a 24-23 thriller. 

Kansas City is appearing in the Super Bowl for the fourth time in the last five seasons, and it has a chance to win back-to-back titles for the first time since New England in 2003-04. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes has added to his legacy in the postseason, completing 70% of his passes for 11 touchdowns and zero interceptions in the last two playoff runs. He is 11-1-1 against the spread as an underdog during his career.

Kansas City’s rushing attack has stepped up as well, averaging 6.1 yards per carry against the Bills and 4.3 yards per attempt against the Dolphins. The Chiefs allowed more than 24 points in just one game this season, while the 49ers have given up an average of 26 points per game this postseason. Mahomes and coach Andy Reid tend to find a way to win games in the playoffs, which is why Hartstein sees the Chiefs winning an “instant classic.” See the rest of the experts’ NFL score projections here.
