What are the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history?
Sportsbooks expect a close game when the Philadelphia Eagles meet the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59. The betting public has pegged Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid as 1.5-point favorites to be the first team in NFL history to ever three-peat at the big game.
That means the Eagles won’t have the chance to join the ranks of historic Super Bowl upsets that have helped make the game a phenomenon. While we’ve had few double-digit spreads with a world championship on the line, it’s worth noting that the underdog has wound up lifting the Vince Lombardi Trophy each of the last three times someone has been favored by 10 points or more.
What are the five biggest upsets in Super Bowl history? Thanks to some data from BetFirm, we know exactly who the least likely world champs are.
