How Important Are Super Bowl LVI Betting Trends?
To be honest, Super Bowl betting trends and betting trends in general are not predictive of what will happen in an upcoming game. Each matchup in football is so different and each team is so different that it is hard to apply those long-term trends to an individual game between two teams that have not played one another. While trends are fun to look at, they are far from the best way to predict what the outcome of a sporting event is going to be.
