Been traveling a bunch and thought I might belly up to the table with a thread that would encourage your facts not your opinion of who covers in the Super Bowl. Lets use info gathered from other areas to see if we can as a group pick the correct total and/or side.
First off- we never know where we are unless we know where we have been! So lets look at the past.
Super Bowl History (Scores + ATS results)
1st 41 Super Bowls results ATS
Favorites covering - 21
Dogs covering - 17

I might add that double digit favs are 7-5 ATS
