"The over did not cash because of one lucky play or a single late touchdown. It cashed because the game never slowed into a defensive struggle. From the early stages, both teams played with pace and aggression. Philadelphia established control with sustained drives and explosive plays, while Kansas City continued to push offensively rather than turning conservative. When one team reaches 40 points in a Super Bowl, the over becomes difficult to stop."
"When one team reaches 40 points in a Super Bowl, the over becomes difficult to stop. Even if the opposing team stalls for stretches, it only needs modest production to push the total past most closing numbers. That is exactly what happened here. The Chiefs did not need a dominant offensive showing. Their 22 points were enough once the Eagles had already done the heavy lifting."
The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22, producing 62 combined points and surpassing the closing over/under of 48.5. Philadelphia's offensive efficiency and consistent scoring sustained pressure throughout the game, while both teams maintained pace and aggression from the early stages. The Chiefs continued to push offensively rather than become conservative, and their 22 points proved sufficient once the Eagles reached 40. Super Bowl totals attract heavy betting interest, and totals hinge on game style—tempo and scoring opportunities—rather than simply predicting a close game or blowout. The over cashed decisively for bettors who backed it.
