The Super Bowl spread has held steady over the course of the last two weeks, but the over/under is a different story.
Below you will find overall betting percentages for an assortment of Super Bowl odds, as well as the most wagered on prop bets. The data is provided by SportsBetting.ag.
"I can't recall a Super Bowl total so imbalanced in terms of bets," said Robert Cooper, the site's Sportsbook Manager. "Hopefully we'll see a lot of under bettors come in over the next couple of days, but even still, every book on the planet will be rooting for a low-scoring game."
The over/under for Sunday opened at 51.5, and was bet up to as high as 55. The current number of 54.5 marks the fifth-highest total in Super Bowl history. Of the four totals that were higher, three went under.
The spread for the big game surfaced at Chiefs -1.5 and has been bet down to -1. Previously, there have only been three occasions where the Super Bowl spread was 1.5 points or fewer.

Unfortunately, due to rumors or leaks, some of the more entertaining props have been taken off the board. Here are some of those highlights:
- Demi Lovato went all out at the Grammys, and bettors are expecting an even bigger performance at the Super Bowl. The National Anthem length odds were initially set at 1:56, then moved to 1:59 and they are now 2:01. People are also betting on her to hold the "Brave" note longer than 5.5 seconds. If Lovato goes long on Sunday, the bookies will be crying instead of her.
- Potential leaks of the halftime show setlist for Shakira and Jennifer Lopez have been circling the internet for a week so the site had to pull down all of the song odds. For J.Lo, 'Jenny on the Block' and 'If You Had My Love' were the most wagered on options for her first song performed. For Shakira's first song, the majority of the bets were on 'She Wolf.'
- There were 36 prop bets surrounding the game between the game...the always-popular Super Bowl commercials! Alas, those didn't last long as leaks surfaced and teasers were produced. The bettors were banking on the American Flag being shown in the Budweiser commercial, and that the word "gun" wouldn't be said during Michael Bloomberg's ad. However, the biggest loss for the bookies will come if Billy Ray Cyrus makes an appearance in the Doritos spot.
- A prop bet on whether or not Antonio Brown would tweet during the game was available, but it was removed after he was arrested for burglary and assault.
- Sadly, the Puppy Bowl odds are off the board due to pre-taping of the adorable game and leaks.
