2024 Super Bowl LVIII odds: Can favored 49ers prevail in Super Bowl LVIII?

The 49ers (14-5) were favored in all 20 games this year, including the postseason and Super Bowl LVIII.

San Francisco is the first team to be favored in every game since the 2017 New England Patriots.

Its biggest upset loss was as a 9.5-point favorite against the Cleveland Browns in Week 6 (19-17).

Super Bowl LVIII: vs. Chiefs (-2.5)
The 49ers are 9-10 against the spread (ATS) this season. The Chiefs are 12-7-1 ATS.
Emmanuel Acho, co-host of Speak, said San Francisco’s run to the Super Bowl is more impressive, given the question marks the team faced a year ago after quarterback Brock Purdy tore the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.
“Before the season, most of us had to reserve our opinion on the Niners until what? Until we saw Brock Purdy play, because we didn’t even know what Brock Purdy was going to be capable of doing or not be capable of doing,” Acho said. “We didn’t know if he was going to be able to throw the football.
” … For me, the Niners were still more impressive [this season than the Chiefs].”
Kansas City (14-6) was favored in its first 16 games, then was a 3.5-point underdog in the regular-season finale against the Los Angeles Chargers. Kansas City won 13-12 despite not playing Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and others.
The Chiefs were underdogs in their past two playoff games — +2.5 in the divisional round at the Buffalo Bills (27-24) and +4.5 in the AFC Championship Game at Baltimore (17-10).
But there’s hope for Chiefs fans: As a 4-point favorite, the 2017 Patriots lost to Philadelphia in Super Bowl LII, 41-33.
