There should be an ample supply of penalties in the Super Bowl.

One thing you can count on when using Arizona sports betting apps to bet on the Super Bowl is that Cheffers’ crew will be quick to enforce penalties.

This season, the experienced referee led all NFL officiating crews by averaging 12.59 penalties and 109.94 penalty yards per game. He also ranked second in the league for pass interference penalties called, totaling 21.

The outcome of Super Bowl LVII and Arizona NFL betting could be greatly affected, given that five of the last 10 championship games were decided by a margin of fewer than 10 points.

Cheffers’ Career Trends in the NFL

Analyzing Cheffers’ previous performances can provide valuable insights for bettors looking to gain an edge in wagering on Super Bowl LVII, particularly when considering factors like the total score and the spread.

In Cheffers’ last 12 playoff games, only one game has hit the over/under precisely, one has surpassed the number outright, and the remaining 10 games have fallen short of the over/under.

Underdog teams have a strong track record against the spread in games officiated by the NFL’s second-most experienced referee, with a record of 42 wins, 24 losses, and 2 ties.

In that timeframe, the number indicates the second-highest ATS record among NFL referees. It is also worth noting that underdogs have emerged victorious both straight-up and against the spread in the two championship games officiated by Cheffers.

Historical Performance of Betting Favorites

In 56 Super Bowls, the favorite team has won 37 times and lost 19 times. However, in the past 10 Super Bowls, the underdogs have been more successful, winning six games and covering the spread in seven of them.

Teams favored in the Super Bowl have a historical against-the-spread record of 28-26-2.
