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?

I’d have to agree with what’s been said. You’ll never see a Super Bowl where the favorites are gonna be more than maybe 12 points. The talent disparity simply isn’t going to be there because it’s still gonna be a good team, and it’s extremely difficult to fluke your way into a Super Bowl.
