Welcome to the Super Bowl LIV
This time last year, we were waiting for the Patriots to face the Rams in the final NFL match of the season - and the New Englanders won, in an incredibly defense-based battle, with Julian Edelman taking home the MVP award.
That was the Patriots' third win in four finals over five years, but now, the dystany appears to be over after the Titans beat them in the wild card playoffs.
Instead, this year the 54th Super Bowl will be played between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs, which means that we'll go from ten to eleven different winners in fourteen years - truly a remarkable testament to the fact that any team may eventually win... although I expect fans of the Browns to disagree with me here.
It's actually the 100th season of the NFL - and it's been half that since the Chiefs last got to partake in a Super Bowl. Indeed, the 49ers haven't faired quite as poorly, with a win in 2012 and another final the following year - but it's still been a long time since their glory days in the 1980s, when they seemed to possess a Super Bowl win subscription service.
Where is the Super Bowl played? When does it start? How can you watch it and where can you bet on it?
Most importantly: the Super Bowl LIV starts at 3:30 p.m. ET on Sunday 2, February 2020. It is played in at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. Keep reading, and we'll go through everything you need to know.

Of course, there'll be plenty of pre-game commentary and entertainment, and the match itself is expected to last around three hours including breaks and the half-time show with J-Lo and Shakira.
Where is the Super Bowl LIV?
The 54th Super Bowl will be held at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. It's the eleventh time the Greater Miami area hosts the Super Bowl, and the sixth time for this particular stadium.
Who are the favorites to win the Super Bowl?
The AFC champions are odds favorites to win the Super Bowl this year. The spread is 1.5 in the Chiefs' favour, so it's a pretty close race. The over/under line is at 54.0 currently.

Where Can I Watch the Super Bowl?
Broadcasting rights to major sporting events are, of course, always a jungle to navigate. This year, the Fox channel will be airing the Super Bowl in the USA, with NBC and CBS in the rotation for 2022 and 2023. Si hablas español, be sure to tune in to Fox Deporters for commentary in Spanish. If you prefer online streaming, fuboTV is the official aggregate streaming app.
Again, the game starts at 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, Feb 2, 2020. That means kickoff is at 23:30 in the UK, and 00:30 CET.
In Britain and Ireland, there are two choices: BBC One for free or Sky Sports Main Event / Mix for subscription-based services.
Canadian viewers will find the match on the CTV channel - including ads, after a lengthy court battle that ended with the Canadian Supreme Court striking down on the ban of American ads during the broadcast.
And speaking of ads...
Super Bowl Advertising
You can always count on corporate sponsorship to deliver - and to be charged heftily for the pleasure. A single spot will cost you a bit over $5 million, but don't fret if you're late to the party: every single second has been sold out since November.
Donald Trump has reportedly bought a spot to promote his campaign as well, as has his Democratic opponent Michael Bloomberg. And if you hate Mr. Peanut, well, good news - the Planters snacks company has announced plans to kill him off while trying to save Wesley Snipes in a commercial. Whether he stays dead remains to be seen.
Super Bowl Announcers
Half-Time Show & Entertainment
For a lot of people, especially those who dislike sports, the most important question is probably "who will play at the Super Bowl half-time show?" Last year, we had Maroon 5 headlining, and the year before that saw Justin Timberlake's turn.
The 2020 half-time show will be performed by Jennifer Lopez and Shakira in a double-duty hip-blasting Latino fiesta. But that's not all: special guests are rumored to include Pitbull, Beyoncé, Ja Rule, and Wyclef Jean.
We won't be betting on any nip slips happening any time soon, though we do expect an R&B-ful rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner by Demi Lovato, who recently returned to the spotlight at the 62nd Grammy Awards after a long-time health-problem hiatus.

Where Is the Super Bowl?
The very nice multipurpose Hard Rock Stadium will be hosting the 2020 Super Bowl. This honor has been bestowed in the stadium five times before, most recently in 2009, when Drew Brees was at his best and the New Orleans Saints won their first and so far only title.
The Hard Rock is owned by Stephen Ross as a subsidiary of his NFL team, the Miami Dolphins, who are yet to play in a Super Bowl at home grounds and who certainly weren't anywhere near getting to do so this year, either.
It's a multipurpose stadium which has also hosted the Pro Bowl and two World Series, and they've been active getting new events to it, with a Formula 1 race and the College Football Playoff National Championship coming next year. In fact, it even features tennis nowadays, with the Miami Open moving to it just last year. Of course, it's also home to the Miami Hurricanes, and it used to host the Florida Marlins until they built their own stadium a decade ago.
If history is any indication, the 49ers won't be too happy about coming back to the Gardens - after all, they've played two Super Bowls here and lost both, in 1989 and in 1995. Third time's the charm, perhaps?

Betting on the Super Bowl
Ah, Super Bowl and betting! They go together like the World Series and betting... or the Stanley Cup and betting... or March Madness and betting... well, you get the idea.
But online gambling has been federally outlawed for a while in the United States, and the freedom to place your own money on a bet or two is only finally being gradually reinstated. We'll go through your legal options, how to bet on the Super Bowl, and what you can bet on below.
Where Can I Legally Bet in the US?
And, relatedly, how does one bet on the Super Bowl? Well, if you're located in the north-east, you're in luck - New Jersey and Pennsylvania are both states that allow Super Bowl betting!
Betting is also coming to West Virginia very soon, as they've legalized it but are yet to implement fully functional sports betting licenses. Other states that are on the verge of opening up online gambling to the general public include Iowa, Indiana and Oregon, with more expected to follow suite.
We recommend two specific American betting sites: PointsBet and SugarHouse, both of whom offer competitive betting bonuses. Of course, betting in the USA isn't restricted to just these two, and our betting bonuses section features bonus info for and reviews of every applicable major betting license holder.
PointsBet in particular has a great bonus and is currently our favorite bookmaker recommendation. Our PointsBet review details the bonus, as well as the unique thing with PointsBet - namely, the points system. Unlike other bookmakers, where you win or lose a set amount, PointsBet allows you to place progressive bets so that you win progressively more the better your prediction fares. And besides - their bonus system is definitely the best in the US at the moment.
SugarHouse, meanwhile, is more of a traditional betting site, with affiliation to the betting giant William Hill and odds from major global odds provider Kambi. The result is an amazing odds selection, combined with the accumulated customer support and experience gained from a century of providing odds to players. You can read more about the $250 SugarHouse bonus and start taking part of the loyalty program today.
Betting on the Super Bowl in Europe
If you are in a European Union country, then obviously the legal situation is a bit different from that in America, and you've likely had the pleasure of taking money from bookmakers for quite a while now.
Two leading global brands in particular stand out as having the best Super Bowl odds selection. There are literally hundreds of odds types and markets, and thousands of odds available at these sites!
It's no surprise that these two are bet365 and Unibet. They offer odds on any sport you'd like, from the larger things like the Premier League, cricket, Australian Open tennis, and rugby, to niche things like small-scale table tennis or even kabaddi. (It's okay if you need to google that.)
Further, they both feature easy-to-clear, no-nonsense bonus deals applicable both to the beginner and to the experienced punter. Be sure to read our bet365 review and our Unibet review to take part in the best and latest bonus offers!
What Are the Best Super Bowl Odds?
You can bet on practically anything in the 2020 Super Bowl. You probably don't want to, but you can. The spread is -1.5, favouring the Chiefs, and the total is 54.0 at the moment.
You can find all odds on the 2020 Super Bowl on our odds page, as well as NFL playoffs odds and standard NFL odds during the regular season.
Explaining the Most Common Odds
Common odds types include spread betting and total, moneyline and 1st half bets. You can typically bet specifically on any one quarter of the game, and - of course - on just about any participating player to perform just about any conceivable action.
If you don't know what this is, well, the "spread" is the name for the handicap given to a team in order to make both sides equal. Betting on the Super Bowl without handicap is called "moneyline" and simply means betting on either of the teams to win.
Who Is the Favorite to Win the Super Bowl?
Since the Chiefs are slight favorites to win, they're commonly being handicapped in sports betting so that the teams are equally favored. With the spread being -1.5 by the Chiefs, if you bet on Chiefs -1.5, they need to win by at least two points in order for your bet to stand. If they win by a single point - or if they lose the match - you lose your bet. Conversely, if you bet the 49ers at +1.5, that means they can lose by a singly point and you'll still win your bet.
If you want to bet on the total number of points in the game, the total betting line is 54.0, so that if you bet on "over 54.0" and the match ends at 33-22, you win the bet. If the total is exactly 54.0, you get your money back. Overtime is included, so don't panic if it's looking like a 26-26 draw with a minute to spare.
Kansas City Chiefs vs San Francisco 49ers odds table
Bet | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
---|---|---|---|
Chiefs | -127 | -110 | - |
49ers | +104 | -110 | - |
Over 54.0 | - | - | -110 |
Under 54.0 | - | - | -110 |

Betting on Players in the Super Bowl
A very popular option is betting on the Super Bowl MVP - that is, the most valuable player in the game. This is most commonly a quarterback, and Tom Brady, for instance, won the award a record four times. Second best all-time is actually a 49ers player, the 1980s QB Joe Montana.
Given the relative dominance of quarterbacks - 53.7% of all MVPs - it's no surprise that Patrick Mahomes at -100 and Jimmy Garoppolo at +250 are huge favorites to win the MVP award. Mahomes in particular has been spectacularly dominant and is expected to rise to the occasion in the Super Bowl.
But let's not forget about the other 46.3% - in fact, Julian Edelman won as late as last year, and as we all know, he's a wide receiver. The WR with the lowest odds is Tyreek Hill for the Chiefs at +1400, roughly the same odds as tight ends Travis Kelce and George Kittle.
Inbetween all of the above, we also find the phenomenal running back Raheem Mostert in his best season yet. He's the only player who even comes remotely close to the quarterbacks, and if you figure he's got a shot, well - you'll get eight times your money back with odds of +700.
Another popular market is for players to score a touchdown. Damien Williams is at -152 to score a touchdown, with Kelce and Hill both shortly behind at -139. Prefer receiving yards? Well, every applicable recipient has an odds line, with Blake Bell's being the lowest at 7.5. Players like Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson both feature realistic lines that could well go either way at around 18-23, with brings us to a good point: it's generally a great idea to look back frequently and take note of how the odds change. If you want to place a bet but the odds are too low, don't just throw good money after bad - wait a bit and see if the lines change as you'd like them to.
And I have to just mention my favourite betting market - "team to win the coin toss". Not because I recommend it, but because it's such an utterly ridiculous way of losing your money. But then again - it's the player's money and the player's a free adult. So who am I to judge?

Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl Preview
Consistency has been the Chiefs' second nature for a while now. They finished 12-4 in the regular season for the third time in four years, they've won at least 11 in regular for six out of the last seven seasons, and they've won their division - AFC West - four times running now. Of course, before that, there was the 2-14 season in 2012... but we don't talk about that.
However, consistently being among the best in the league but not quite the best has also translated into the playoffs. The Chiefs haven't been to the Super Bowl since they won it in 1969 - the year before the AFL was merged into the NFL. In fact, getting to the conference championships last year ended a 25-year-long streak of failures, and it can't be said that this season has been an unmitigated success the entire time, either.
Chiefs Road to the Super Bowl
By game week ten, in mid November, the Chiefs were only 6-4, and has just lost a really close game to a final sub-minute Tennessee Titans touchdown in Nashville. Sure, two of the other losses came to other divisional winners - the Texans and the Packers - and the last one to the Colts before their season fell apart, but there was still cause for concern, and when the Texans went 21-0 in the first quarter of the divisional playoffs, well... let's just say that the live betting markets went nuts for a while.
But they went through that after pulling themselves together, and went on to their second attempt at the AFC level. In my playoffs preview, I wrote that "[the Titans have] a very realistic chance of making the AFC Championship for the first time since 2002", and when they actually did just that, the stage was set for a rematch in the conference finals - and for another bumpy ride.
While the Chiefs can adapt to virtually any game progression, they have been much better at reacting than at being proactive in several games this season.
That match against the Titans highlighted a lot of parts in the Chiefs gameplan arsenal. Most importantly, Derrick Henry was kept at bay during the second half, which made the most of the difference. The other major factor was, as usual, Patrick Mahomes, one of the league's best players and absolutely a key to winning the 2020 Super Bowl. He displayed just how well he can spread the ball across, and also that he can take initiative on his own if need be. Frankly, the Chiefs would have lost that game quite a lot of times with any worse QB, despite being able to outrun a largely running-based team.
Hence the match also showcased some of the problems with the team. First off, Dennis Kelly's 321 lbs lobbing TD at shortest possible range looked ridiculous and amazing at the same time, and he should by no means have been left as unmarked as he was. Second, while the Chiefs can adapt to virtually any game progression, they have been much better at reacting than at being proactive in several games this season. In practice, cutting out Henry meant that Ryan Tannehill's supply chain was immediately effectively limited, if not constricted, and that made him look like an ordinary player. So why did that take so long? It's not like the symbiotic relationship between the Titans duo's been a secret by any means. And Andy Reid, coaching the team since 2013, repeatedly and frequently had his team set the tune during his long tenure at the Eagles.
We're now at the Super Bowl, the last match of the season, against one of the very best teams of the season. If the Chiefs want to come out on top, they need to stop digging a hole the first thing they do after the whistle blows.
Key Kansas City Players
Make no mistake: Patrick Mahomes is the predominant reason the Chiefs have gotten this far. The team has been explosive, supercharged, ready to burst from just about any point of the pitch - much thanks to Reid's coaching. Mahomes provides the basis for this explosiveness, as he embodies the offensive versatility: he can do just about anything if the rest of the team helps letting him, and they most certainly have. Other young players will be looking at Mahomes and taking notes; if this is what a modern quarterback can do, then perhaps it may also be what a modern quarterback should do in a couple of years.
Tyreek Hill, meanwhile, is another reason to use the word "explosive". He is remarkably fast, he has tremendous acceleration, and he can start from any position and catch in any position. Reid can put him pretty much anywhere, and Mahomes will find him. When he isn't actively involved in the ball game, he runs past defenders to free up valuable space, and he excels in being a deep past-scrimmage target. It's a bittersweet thing, then, that "explosive" also describes the highly controversial signing's private life, with Hill both having pleaded guilty to domestic assault against his pregnant girlfriend in 2014 and then having allegedly broken his toddler's arm less than a year ago. To what extent Hill is actually guilty is, it must be said, not verifiable, and though we feel that we must mention the controversy, we will focus on the actual match from now on.
So let's instead talk Travis Kelce. Rushing forward, rushing sideways, saying "fuck" on national tv - is there anything the man can't do?
Jokes aside, Kelce's put in his fourth consecutive 1,000+ yard receiving season, a record for tight ends, and he's been done it by putting in consistent performances game after game after game. Ignoring how Mahomes and Reid put him in a position to do so, we have to look at how Kelce runs. He's 6' 5" and weighs 260 lb, and you'd be forgiven for expecting him to just go straight and hope for the best with his Forrest Gump-like stature - but he's athletic and flexible, he can turn quickly and (perhaps more importantly) accelerate from a turn like a sports car. All of this enables him to fake movements as he goes, and he's intelligent on the field and knows how to exploit his abilities.
Kansas City Defense
All of the above notwithstanding, I would argue that the main reason that the Chiefs have become a legitimate contender isn't their offensive capabilities, because they were always going to be really good at that.
No, the most important thing to happen to the Chiefs this season was their defense going from really bad to passable - occasionally even good. They've improved immensely in most important metrics: points per game are down massively from last season, yards per game are down, passing yards per game are actually looking pretty good, and so on.
Credit should be given in large to Tyrann Mathieu, arriving from the Texans prior to this season, who has proceded to tackle the crap out of any player he's faced. But he couldn't have done it without Steve Spagnuolo, Reid's former defensive assistant who rejoined him at the Chiefs to figure out where each player should actually go. In the past few years, it's not that defensive Chiefs players have necessarily been horrible, but they've rarely been played to their strengths, and Spagnuolo has really done a great job figuring that out.
Calling the Chiefs offense "great" would be laughable, and somewhere between "good" and "passable" is honestly more apt. But it least it's not "terrible" any longer, and that might make all the difference.
Chiefs Quick Facts
San Francisco 49ers Super Bowl Preview
I've been arguing the consistency of the Chiefs for quite a few paragraphs now, and it's a word that could well be used to describe the San Francisco 49ers as well for the past seasons - unfortunately. They've had more wins this regular season (13-3) than in their past three combined!
So what on Earth happened?
49ers Getting Back to the Top
In their best start to the season since 1990, the 49ers began the season 8-0 before losing a very close game to the Seahawks at overtime in week 10. Now, granted, many of their wins have been tight - but there's no denying that the team has improved immensely in almost every single area possible.
Kyle Shanahan has to be the starting point for this discussion. He's an offensively minded coach - no surprise there, being Mike Shanahan's son - and indeed he was an offensive coordinator for much of his career prior to now. It's not just that he's offensive; Shanahan leads a physically demanding game, with complex passing systems and copious amounts of running. The core philosophy is easily summarised: if you run far enough with the ball, it doesn't quite matter what your opponents do.
The third-week game against the Steelers neatly put that on display. The west coast team won just 24-20, despite leading total yards 436 against 239 and possession 36 to 24 minutes. That's because they also suffered five (!) turnovers, and, well... your defense has to be pretty damn good if your offense screws up the defensive parts.
Luckily, it is. I frankly did not see this coming at all pre-season, but the 49ers were second best in yards allowed per game during regular, and it mostly because while they're not the best at any single one thing, they are pretty good at everything. Put simply, the 49ers defense is a jack-of-all-trades team: they shut down passing lines, they stop runners with blunt force and positioning, they create turnovers and they do all of this on a regular basis.
It could be argued that the hallmark of a great team is that they manage to conserve just as much energy as they need to while still winning. If that is indeed true, then the 49ers defense has surely mastered the art this season. And they have the stats to back it up.
Key San Francisco Players
We'll get to the QB in a second, but I cannot not start with defensive end Nick Bosa. When he isn't tweeting about Donald Trump and Colin Kaepernick, Bosa has been busy finetuning his rookie season to the point of being named rookie of the year by the writers association. He's just getting better as he rapidly gains experience, and he personifies the "jack of all trades" part: he's recorded nine sacks, helped in running, and targeted whatever player he's needed to tenaciously. As such, you could name a better defensive player for most single tasks in the 49ers - but you'd be hard pressed to find someone who can perform all of them as well as Bosa can.
Personally, I'd say Garoppolo is so good because he does what he has to, when he has to.
If Bosa and Arik Armstead can shut Mahomes down enough, the Chiefs explosiveness will suffer greatly. Count on that to be an integral part of their gameplan.
As for the SF quarterback, well... Jimmy Garoppolo is, in a way, the antitheses of Mahomes. It isn't obvious what he's good at. He doesn't have a reputation matching his excellent career track record. And most people seem to have zero idea why he's here.
Yet Garoppolo is 21-5 as a starter (19-5 for the 49ers), and personally, I'd say he's so good because he does what he has to, when he has to. He is calm and collected, leads his team well, and if he needs to get some absurd throws in, well - he's been the best passer in the league from a losing position this year.
The truth is that Garoppolo can do everything well, but he's inexperienced and he needs to learn to stop making rookie mistakes. We all know how big misses are easily noticable, and that has somehow become the lingering image of an otherwise actually really good player. And, of course, in the words of his 42-year-old pornstar date earlier this year: "he's a f***ing gentleman".
49ers on the Offense
As for attacking capabilities, the 49ers have Raheem Mostert, Deebo Samuel and George Kittle. They are the epitome of collective support versus individual achievements, with Kittle at tight end being an absolute monster when it comes to creating space, and he can catch as well if need be.
His work draws out opposing defense lines, and that's what has enabled running back Mostert's unexpected breakout season this late in his career. Mostert can score a touchdown from - it would seem - any point on the field, and Samuel is the perfect example of someone who can use his own creativity as long as his team supports it.
The 49ers like to rotate their wide receivers heavily, but together, these players give Garoppolo a very wide array of tools to utilise as he sees fit. They all also have in common that they're able to quickly make snap decisions on their own, for the best of the current play. With Kittle being the linchpin to the rest of the offense, he's currently one of the best players in the league.
