Super Bowl 58 exact score prediction and best bet: Chiefs 24, 49ers 23 (+14000)

This is a crapshoot, of course, and therefore I wouldn’t play anything that has the shortest odds. Yes, even +6000 is a big number – but not big enough for me to go in that direction. I’d rather get an even bigger payout on something that is so unlikely to occur. Give me Chiefs 24, 49ers 23 at +14000.

I’m not prepared to bet against Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl. He has already lifted the Lombardi Trophy twice and even though his offensive weapons are less impressive than they were on previous occasions, Kansas City’s defense is outstanding. I like K.C. to win a close game, and 24-23 is nothing out of the ordinary. Three touchdowns and a field goal for the Chiefs plus 2 TDs and 3 FGs for the Niners would get the job done.

Will there be Super Bowl scorigami? 

Speaking of exact scores, scorigami to occur in Super Bowl 58 is +2000 at DraftKings Sportsbook (“No” is -10000).

For those that aren’t familiar with scorimagi, it’s when a game ends with a unique final score that has never previously happened in the history of the NFL. Since the league began, there have been 1,084 unique scores – the most recent of which came when Baltimore clobbered Miami 56-19 on New Year’s Eve.

Perhaps the most likely scorigami outcome available for Super Bowl 58 is 32-22. Obviously, 32 is a difficult number on which to land, but it could happen with a safety somewhere along the way or something like 3 touchdowns, 4 field goals and a missed extra point. If the winning team is already on 32, the losing team could go for 2 on 20 in an effort to cut the deficit to 10 points. Stranger things have happened!

From a sharp betting perspective, +2000 odds are by no means good enough to bite. But, hey, betting on a scorigami can be fun and it sure would be epic if it actually happens!
