In 2022, the average number of field goals per game was just 3.31. The Chiefs averaged just 1.53 field goals made per game while the Eagles kicked 1.22 per game. That comes to a combined total of just 2.75! But, this is not just any game. This is the big game and the Super Bowl is a different animal. Teams are generally less conservative overall in the Super Bowl when all is said and done. It's all or nothing. The coaches do not want to leave anything on the field. If a team is ahead, they don't want to give their opponent any chance of coming back. If a team is behind, they are not playing to keep it close - they are playing to win the game, no matter what. So, there are fewer field goals in the Super Bowl than in your average NFL game. Through the first 56 Super Bowls, there have only been 142 made field goals which comes to an average of 2.66 per game. That's 20% less than this year's regular-season average of 3.31. In only 15 of the 56 Super Bowl games have more than three field goals been made! That comes to just 27% and fair odds on that are -275. Yet, we get -165 odds here on a total of 4, giving us a lot of wiggle room. This bet should come through about three-quarters of the time. Take the UNDER on this prop as a Max Play.
