General SB facts after this one.
The NFC has a one game lead at this point 29 to 28. The old NFL leads 34 to 18, with 5 wins by post merger teams. That's not as big as it sounds since there were 16 teams in the old NFL to 10 in the AFL. The NFL had 63% of the teams at the merger and
they've won 65% of the games won by the pre-merger teams.
Betting
Teams favored by more than 10 points have won 64% of the time. Teams favored by less than 10 have won 58% of the time. Not much difference. Five double digit favorites have lost.
In terms of the bet, 36 underdogs have won against the spread. 19 favorites have won. There were 2 washes.
The top six teams account for more than half of the SB wins.
