Betting Moneyline Favorites

• A money line bet is on a team to win the game outright (with no point spread) at an adjusted cost. The favorite will have negative odds, while the underdog will have positive odds. The difference here is in.
• A moneyline is a type of straight wager where the bettor wagers simply on who will win the contest, straight up – without any spread involved. The easiest way to think of moneyline betting odds is that.
• Money line bets can seem a little confusing at first, especially for the bettor who has traditionally wagered their money on the point spread. The money line is actually the most straightforward bet you can have on any sport. Whilst the spread bet is on a team to win and by how many, the money line is a bet.

2021 Super Bowl first-half money line prediction

You have to like how the Chiefs are playing right now. The Bucs have the defense and the edge rushers to cause QB Patrick Mahomes trouble, especially with LT Eric Fisher out with an Achilles tear, but Kansas City has been here before and is playing at a high level. The Chiefs have played with the lead all postseason and did it against the Bucs in the regular season.

The question is whether they can stave off a comeback.

As for the first half, bet the CHIEFS (-150).
