Although the majority of bettors are bullish on Philadelphia exacting revenge against Kansas City, sharps are favoring the defending champs ahead of Sunday's big game.

We're just five days away from Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.

Despite early money coming in on the two-time defending champs, buyback on the Eagles has brought the spread back down to the opening number of -1. 

Meanwhile, the moneyline has moved even closer to a pick'em and the total has stayed steady at 49. I break down the betting splits with the latest insights and Super Bowl odds for the big game on Sunday, February, 9.

Early line movement

Early money came in on the Kansas City Chiefs immediately after the AFC Championship, moving their moneyline price from -120 to -130 and their spread from -1 to -2 by Monday morning.

However, there has since been buyback on the Philadelphia Eagles. That has brought the spread back down to -1, with the Chiefs ML shifting to -115.  

Sharps on Chiefs, Public Leans Toward Eagles

Kansas City has been extremely profitable for pro bettors during the Patrick Mahomes era. The Chiefs are an incredible 29-9-1 ATS as an underdog or a favorite of less than a field goal with Mahomes as their starter. Mahomes is also 17-3 SU and 14-6 ATS in the playoffs in his career.

At Caesars, 54% of the moneyline handle has come in on the Chiefs, along with 51% of the handle on the spread. However, the public has a slight lean towards Philadelphia, with 52% of spread bets coming in on the Eagles — as well as 53% of moneyline tickets.

Given how close those betting splits are, I don't expect to see much line movement before kickoff.

Bettors Hammer the Over, but Total Stays Stagnant

With both Conference Championship games soaring Over the total and these teams combining for 73 points at the Super Bowl two years ago, it isn't surprising that bettors have been hammering the Over. Nobody likes to root for an Under, and as of February 3, 80% of the bets and 79% of the handle have poured in on the Over.

The total opened at 48 and quickly peaked at 49.5 before surprisingly dipping back to 49. Oddsmakers are clearly a bit reluctant to approach the key O/U of 51, with both teams boasting strong defenses and methodical attacks.

With a background playing soccer, rugby, and boxing, combined with a journalism degree, it's little surprise that Rohit gravitated towards the world of sports betting. He specializes in betting on UFC and college basketball, two sports where the eyeball test can tell you a lot more about matchups than any analytics. Rohit has years of experience handicapping NFL and NBA games as well as niche betting markets such as politics and Oscar odds. He's also the resident CFL expert and formerly hosted "The Chez and Ro Show" with former CFL star Davis Sanchez.

You can catch Rohit breaking down every UFC event with Joe Osborne on "P4P Picks" on the Covers YouTube channel and he also has regular appearances on "Before You Bet" with Joe. In addition, he's a regular guest on "By The Book" on the Monumental Sports Network and makes guest appearances on VSIN's "The Handle" and CBS Sports.

Rohit primarily makes his bets at bet365, which offers a wide variety of prop markets, but also has accounts at several others so he can shop around for the best prices. For Rohit, bankroll management is key. He believes you should never bet what you can't afford to lose and maximize those few betting opportunities where books misprice a line.
