Super Bowl betting insights: Eagles money moves odds to pick'em

The Super Bowl is the most bet on sporting event. With millions of dollars flying around leading up to the game, everyone asks one question: Where's all the money going?

With two days until kick-off, the majority is on the Eagles.

Philadelphia has amassed 54.6% of the bets and 59.3% of the handle (money wagered) placed on the moneyline. The Eagles' odds of winning the Super Bowl have subsequently moved to -110 at theScore Bet/ESPN Bet.

Philly opened as +105 underdogs on the moneyline while getting 1.5 points on the spread. That line drifted in the Chiefs' favor, with the Eagles getting to as long as +115. But those odds have vanished with Philadelphia receiving plenty of love from the betting market.

Jalen Hurts and Co. have also seen 56.1% of the bets and 55.4% of the handle placed on the spread. However, since the spread has remained within a field goal since it opened, the majority of people backing the Eagles likely picked them to win the game at better odds.

The over is also being bet at a far higher rate than the under on the game's total. So far, 78.9% of the handle and 79.5% of the bets are on the over. The game's total opened at 49.5 but has moved down a point to 48.5 despite substantially more action on the over.

This is the definition of reverse-line movement. While it can sometimes be misleading information, it's certainly noteworthy during the Super Bowl. There's so much money being bet and attention given to one game that reverse-line movement has to mean sportsbooks have taken enough sharp money on the under to move the line despite having liability on the over.

Meanwhile, Eagles players are also getting love in prop markets. Saquon Barkley to score a touchdown is the most bet on prop in terms of number of bets. Hurts to punch one in is the second-most bet on prop.
