San Francisco 49ers are the bookies favourites to win the Super Bowl
The San Francisco 49ers head into Super Bowl LVIII as the favourites with bookmakers in what looks like it'll be a cracker of a match between two entertaining teams.
Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs will love being the underdogs in this one and will be relishing the thought of spoiling the 49ers party in Sunday's event.
Mahomes is 28-years-old and has already won two Super Bowls and heads into Sunday's match looking for his third as the Chiefs Quarterback.
He goes up against Brock Purdy who has his own massive story as 49ers Quarterback after being picked last in the 2022 draft to become the dreaded 'Mr Irrelevant' of that draft.
The 49ers are 3/4 currently with Paddy Power to win the Super Bowl this year with the Chiefs currently odds-against at 11/10 in the market.
