not sure but I bet the last 20 super bowl's combined over/under is well above league average. The books know the publice LOVES to bet the super bowl and they LOVE to bet the over, so might as well put the # high. It seems like the super bowl usually has at least one fluke td, every year.

41+43.5 = 84.5, 84.5/4 = 21.125, 21.125*4.4(.4 superbowl factor) = 92.95, 92.95/2 = 46.475. Round up to 46.5.

It's the old .4 superbowl factor:103631605

Usually when one team gets 2 TD's behind, they quit and the game goes over!

Super Bowls always seem to have way more possesions, and in turn more points, I think refs will let them play more too...alow more holding etc...I would bet the holding penalty avg in the super bowl is way down.

All that's been posted is true, plus don't forget the more offensive team in each matchup is favored to move on. An expected Denver/Seattle SuperBowl would have a higher total than a Pittsburgh/Carolina game etc.....

It's late, did that make sense? In short the two better offensive teams in each match-up are probably going to be moving on.

exactly

not sure why you would think the total of a 3rd game would depend on the total of the 2 games before it

Outdoor vs. indoor is usually good for a fg. The square factor on the super bowl will always push the number higher, as people love to bet overs. The recent history of high scoring super bowls, also make this a one of a kind number. Traditionally unders rule the playoff games, overs rule the super bowl. You always come up with good topics D2.

I believe SB's are more high scoring with the two week break as opposed to one week. I don't know of any site that shows which SB's had one or two week in between games though.

Cant even remember the last Super Bowl that went Under. Seems as though the ref's turn em lose an let em play. Hard to keep those totals under when there are very few calls made that would have been made in a heartbeat in the regular season. JMHO

the over has been the play recently (last 12 years or so). i think both the superbowls with the rams may have gone under.

the 49er and the cowboy superbowls always went over. the two that all my friends were saying were "lock unders" both went over...the giants/ravens and raiders/bucs.
