More facts about the Super Bowl and presidential elections: The number of people in the U.S. Who watched the 2008 Super Bowl was a record, but the record has been broken by each Super Bowl since then.

The Super Bowl has long been a grandstand event for America over the years, but 2016 was taken over by one of the most emotionally-charged presidential elections in history. Fans at this point are.

Every NFL game has numerous numbers to break down the contest, along with the typical Xs and Os. Experts use matchups, weather conditions, crowd noise, injury reports and insider knowledge to make their predictions.

For Super Bowl games, the analysis goes even deeper. However, here are 14 things that many experts probably don't consider.

Super Bowl LV between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be Sunday, February 7 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. The game will kickoff at 6:30 p.m., and it will be televised on CBS.

Here are 14 facts surrounding this year's Super Bowl:

• The Buccaneers will become the only team to ever play a Super Bowl in its home stadium.
• Super Bowl LV (55) is the 17th Super Bowl to be held in the state of Florida, which is the most by any state. This is the fifth Super Bowl to be held in Tampa. Miami has hosted the game 11 times and Jacksonville has hosted it once.
• The AFC has won 11 of the previous 16 games in these Florida cities: Miami (AFC leads 7-4), Jacksonville (AFC leads 1-0), Tampa (AFC leads 3-1).
• February 7 is the latest date ever for a Super Bowl, and just the third time it has happened (Super Bowls XLIV and 50).
• This year's Super Bowl is the first time in history that the previous two Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks will meet in the follow-up game.
• This year's game will be broadcast by CBS for the 21st time, which is a record number among the networks.
• The NFC is the designated home team this year, but the Buccaneers have opted to wear their road white jerseys for the game. They won their divisional game at New Orleans and NFC Championship at Green Bay while wearing white tops. In Tom Brady's previous nine Super Bowl appearances, he has worn a white jersey five times, winning the Super Bowl in four of those.
• Kansas City (16-2) lost just two games this season, both in their home red jerseys. The Chiefs are 2-0 in Super Bowls when wearing red jerseys, however, and 0-1 while wearing white jerseys in the big game.
• The Chiefs are 8-0 on the road this season, which includes a 27-24 win over the Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium, home of this week's Super Bowl. The Buccaneers are 5-3 at home this season. Their other two losses were to playoff teams New Orleans and L.A. Rams. The Buccaneers got revenge over New Orleans in the NFC divisional round.
• The last team to win back-to-back Super Bowls was the New England Patriots, who won titles after the 2003 and 2004 seasons. Who did the Patriots beat in the 2005 game? The Philadelphia Eagles, coached by Andy Reid—the current Kansas City Chiefs coach.
• Tom Brady won three Super Bowls in four years (2001, 2003, 2004). Who won it the only year (2002) Brady didn't win in that span? The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which is obviously Brady's current team.
• Who did the Jon Gruden-coached Buccaneers beat in the 2003 Super Bowl? The Buccaneers beat the Oakland Raiders, who lost in the AFC playoffs the previous season to the Patriots in the famous (or infamous) 'tuck rule game.' Gruden now coaches the Raiders, who now play in Las Vegas.
• This game follows a presidential election. Of the five previous Super Bowls following an election, the AFC is 5-0 going back to the 2001 Super Bowl. Tom Brady won two of those with the Patriots. The Baltimore Ravens won two of them and the Pittsburgh Steelers won the other.
• In the previous 54 years, the AFC holds a 9-4 advantage in Super Bowls played after presidential elections. The AFC won the first four (1966-1981), the NFC won the next four (1984-1997) and the AFC has won the last five.

• The 2020 Presidential Election has received a record number of wagers in the United Kingdom.
• American betting platforms do not offer political wagers but the UK estimates $1 billion in bets for the election by the time it’s over.
• The 2020 Super Bowl was estimated to receive $6.8 billion in handle from just US sports bettors but if political betting was allowed, the election could have given the event a run for its money.

WASHINGTON – Election Day is here in the US and gamblers worldwide are wagering on who will win the presidency at a record amount. The number of prop bets available and money being wagered on the election mirrors that of the Super Bowl. But which occasion brings in more handle for bookmakers?

It’s a well-known fact that football is the most gambled on sport in the U.S. and the Super Bowl is the biggest day for action on a single event all year at sportsbooks nationwide.

But the 2020 Presidential Election has brought in so much handle in available markets that one has to ask, is the Super Bowl or the election the bigger betting event. To be fair, the big game happens every year while bettors have to wait every four years to get in on some presidential gambling and that alone could be a reason for its sheer popularity.

The 2020 Presidential Election Vs. The 2020 Super Bowl Numbers

President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden are racking up the bets from online sportsbooks located across the pond.

Despite starting as the betting favorite, Trump has been the underdog in this battle for quite some time.

On Tuesday, his odds were set at (+150) while Biden is favored at (-180). But this hasn’t deterred gamblers from betting on the current president to win re-election as 80% of all wagers coming into sportsbooks like BetOnline have recently been put on Trump to win.

Super Bowl Predictions Presidential Election

The election is expected to have a final tally of nearly $1 billion dollars when all is said and done. The United Kingdom has already made history dubbing the 2020 Presidential Election for the United States their most bet on event to date.

Betfair, a UK based betting platform, has recorded almost 6,700 wagers for Trump totaling $4.83 million and 5,250 bets for Biden at $4.7 million in total for the Democrat.

The biggest wager in the UK was a $1.29 million bet on Biden to win. Bookies in the country have put Biden’s odds of winning the election at 65%. However, betting companies across the globe are astounded by the number of bets being placed on a Trump victory as Biden is so heavily favored by all of them to win.

It’s reminiscent of the 2016 Presidential Election where Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton went head to head with Clinton being favored and Trump somehow beating the odds. Bettors back then also felt as though he would win it. And if he wins re-election, sportsbooks everywhere will be taking huge hits in payouts to the underdog and the influx of wagers he’s received.

With a billion dollars being the figure for the estimated handle on the event, does that beat out the Super Bowl activity seen this past February? One would think it would but no.

While the election has seen record highs in the UK and record highs for general activity in the realm of political betting it’s not eligible to be gambled on at American sportsbooks so it pales in comparison to the Super Bowl’s handle.

With legal sports betting becoming more and more accepted by states across the nation, more gamblers were able to place wagers on the Super Bowl this year than ever before.

It was estimated that $6.8 billion was bet on the Super Bowl nationwide.

That’s almost seven times that of the 2020 Presidential Election and only accounts for US books. But if political betting was available at American books, there is little doubt that it would surpass or at least be just as high as Super Bowl bets because the interest is clearly there.

The Super Bowl had plenty of high rollers placing bets of $500K or more. But for European platforms accepting wagers for the election, that has also attracted high rollers as well, exceeding the $500K mark for single bets in quite a few cases.

“This is a huge market,” said Matthew Shaddick, head of political betting at British sports betting and gambling firm GVC. “It is twice as big as 2016, easily making it the biggest political event ever.”

Which Event Trumps The Other?

Gamblers want action for both events, that’s apparent. If it were an equal playing field, the 2020 Presidential Election would skyrocket in handle as the UK and other areas of the world have seen it make records.

But the United States has not yet legalized local markets for political betting, often weighing the pros and cons and so far, the cons outweigh the pros in the eyes of lawmakers.

Based on the numbers at hand, it’s a safe bet that both the Super Bowl and the 2020 Presidential Election have the attention of bettors everywhere as the handle speaks for itself.

If ever the US approves political betting, revenue in the gaming industries across the nation would surge every four years and the country could welcome both high revenue and a new president simultaneously.

Until then, records will likely continue to be set in Europe for the elections while records for the Super Bowl will be set here in the U.S.
