San Francisco 49ers Largest Ever Favorite To Win (1995)
Published on December 11th, 2016 7:20 pm ESTWith the Super Bowl just a few months away, many people are wondering where this year's line will end up comparing to the previous Super Bowls.
Over the history of the Super Bowl, there has been just one game that has been a pick'em, and that came in 2015 when Seattle battled New England. The oddsmakers were right to be so indecisive, as New England famously ended up winning in the fourth quarter of the game.
The biggest mismatch? That came in 1995, when San Francisco entered the Super Bowl as 18 1/2 point favorites to beat San Diego. San Francisco would end up covering this line comfortably, as they won the game 49-26.
The lowest total for a Super Bowl game? A number of games fit the bill with a total of 33 points, with the most recent coming in 2001 when Baltimore battled the New York Giants. Baltimore would end up winning that game 34-7.
