Super Bowl LV expert picks, predictions
- Hayden Winks’ picks: The Super Bowl opening line started at Chiefs -3 with an over/under of 57.5 points, and I took the Chiefs and the under immediately after projecting a 30-24 final. The under is my favorite bet right now between the sides and total for a few reasons.

Chiefs vs. Buccaneers Week 12 matchup (Rotoworld)
The Week 12 Final Score Is Misleading
- The final score could’ve been closer to 38-24 if the Chiefs hadn’t coughed up a red zone fumble and settled for two red zone field goals, if the Chiefs kept their foot on the gas in the second half instead of chewing clock, or if Mike Evans hadn’t scored two garbage-time touchdowns in the fourth quarter. This game was a textbook example of how the final score doesn’t tell the full story.

Super Bowl LV player projections from Hayden Winks (Rotoworld)
Kansas City Chiefs projections
Nfl Odds Second Half
- Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs QB: Patrick Mahomes‘ projection looks crazy — nobody ever projects for 350 yards — but the Chiefs are very likely to throw 35-50 times against the Bucs. (Projection here)
- Chiefs Wide Receivers: WR Tyreek Hill went so nuclear against the Bucs in Week 12 (12-263-3) that I spent the 30 minutes it took to clip all of his touches from that game (video). The Bucs switched up their coverages then, but Hill kept getting open. I don’t think the Bucs have a single corner capable of hanging with Hill when they go to Cover 3 or Cover 1 man. (Projection here)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers projections
- Tom Brady, Buccaneers QB:Tom Brady also projects well. The Bucs may run the ball early — Kansas City’s defense faced the 28th-highest neutral pass rate this season because the Chiefs are typically light in the box — but Tampa’s projected game script favors a pass-heavy game as three-point dogs. (Projection here)
- Buccaneers Wide Receivers: Before the NFC Championship, Antonio Brown was reportedly “day-to-day”. It’s unknown if he’ll play in the Super Bowl, but I left him for now. Even at full health, Brown is not an every-down player. He lines up wide only in three-receiver sets and could even be pushed by Scotty Miller, who scored a long touchdown last game.

LAS VEGAS - There are several interesting matchups being played right now, and USAOnlineSportsbooks.com is here to break down the second half lines for each of them.
Check out our quick game summaries and get those wagers in over halftime.
Atlanta Falcons vs. Minnesota Vikings Odds
The Atlanta Falcons got off to a hot start vs. the Minnesota Vikings, intercepting Kirk Cousins on the first play of the game.
The game did not get much better from there as the hapless Cousins struggled to convert, the Falcons picked up a big fourth-down stop, and the Vikings, overall, looked toothless.
Maybe worse than toothless. Imagine trying to eat a steak and the steak punches your teeth out and eats you instead. That’s what the Vikings are.
Heading into the locker room, the spread for the second half is set at Falcons -15.5.
The Falcons are looking to carry some of that first half momentum into the second half, while the Vikings are looking to come alive on offense.
Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen haven’t seen a lot of play so far - NFL bettors should keep an eye on them.
Cleveland Browns vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Odds
The Pittsburgh Steelers have relegated the Cleveland Browns to little brother status once again, dominating the first half against their division rival.
2nd Half Bets Nfl
The Browns started off on the wrong foot, as Baker Mayfield threw a pick-six in the opening minutes, and the game only got worse from there.
The second half odds are currently at Pittsburgh -13.5. The Browns need to turn this game around, badly, and get some better performances out of their star-studded roster.
Odell Beckham Jr. and Baker Mayfield were questionable entering this matchup, and one wonders if this might have contributed to their first-half woes.
New England Patriots vs. Denver Broncos Odds
The New England Patriots are locked in a low scoring contest with the Denver Broncos. The Broncos managed to pull ahead of the Patriots, 12-3 before halftime.
The Patriots were favored by 9.5 points before the game started, which means that this is a matchup with major upset potential right now.
The second half line favors Denver, sitting at Broncos -2.5. The Broncos are -170 favorites to take the game, now that the Patriots have fallen behind to this degree.
Per ESPN, the Broncos have a 69% chance of winning the game from here.
The Patriots offense is disturbingly anemic, especially the running game. This is definitely a line to keep an eye on.
