What’s the highest point spread we could realistically see in a modern SB? (alien.top)

The Diamondbacks being in the World Series had me thinking…

What if in the NFC you had a team like the Falcons go 9-8 with a -10 point differential to win the NFC south. They shock the world and make their way through the NFC playoffs by beating the Cowboys at home, somehow shocking the Eagles on the road and then getting matched up with a wild card Seahawks team that upset division rival 49ers in the divisional round. They beat Seattle in a close game in Atlanta to punch a ticket to the SB.

They go and face a 15-2 Chiefs team that is top 5 on offense and defense and has a +200 point differential. Patrick Mahomes looks as unstoppable as ever down the stretch of the regular season and postseason and KC blows their way through the Bills/Bengals to reach the SB.

What is the point spread in that Super Bowl?

Probably look at SB 42 when the Pats were 16-0 going up against the underdog Giants who ran hot. A quick google search shows the Pats we’re 12 point favorites.

3rd best 18-1 team all time

Pretty sure they were not 18-1 before the game was played...

What would that line have been if Manning tore his ACL or something in the championship game?

The Giants played the Patriots close in the final game of the regular season, that was a mitigating factor for the spread. In this instance I think the Chiefs would be ~14-point favorites against the Falcons
