When the opening point spread was released for Super Bowl LIV this week, most of the oddsmakers in Las Vegas had the over the .Although the line has fluctuated over the past few days with the Chiefs being favored by as many as 1.5 points, the point spread hasn't made the jump to two points yet and it hasn't come anywhere close to hitting three points, which is actually Mikkel Boedker Jersey a pretty rare thing when it comes to the NFL's biggest game.Since the first Super Bowl was played back in 1966, there have only been seven games (out of 53) that have had a point spread below three points. The good news for all of us is that a close point spread almost always means we're going to get a highly entertaining Super Bowl. Of the seven games where the spread has been below three points, six of them have been decided by 10 points or le s and five of them have been decided by one score.Basically, when the oddsmakers give us a tight point spread, it usually means we're going to get a tight game. Here's a look at the seven other Super Bowls that had a point spread below three points (games with a point spread of exactly three were not included here):Super Bowl VBaltimore vs. Point spread: Colts, -2.5 pointsFrom an entertainment standpoint, the Super Bowl started off as a dud. Although Joe Namath's guarantee in Super Bowl III is one of the most iconic moments in Super Bowl history, the fact of the matter is that the first four Super Bowls just weren't that exciting with the four games being decided by an average of 17.25 points, a total that includes Namath's beating the Baltimore Colts 16-7. In Super Bowl V, the Colts returned to the Brent Burns Jersey Super Bowl, and this time they were going up against Tom Landry's Cowboys, who were making their first trip to the game in franchise history.In this game, which was played at the Orange Bowl in Miami, the 14-2-1 Colts were a 2.5-point favorite over the 12-5 Cowboys. This game definitely lived up to the hype as it was tied at 13 for more than half of the fourth quarter. The game wasn't decided until the final seconds when Colts kicker Jim O'Brien nailed a 32-yard field goal to win it. To this day, Super Bowl V still marks the only time in NFL history that a player from the losing team was named MVP (Chuck Howley). Result: Colts win 16-13.Super Bowl VII vs. Point spread:Dolphins, -1-pointThis Super Bowl capped off the Dolphins undefeated season in 1972, and surprisingly, they were just a one-point favorite over the Redskins, who had gone 13-3 up to that point, including the playoffs. Although the scoreboard says this Super Bowl was close, this game was completely dominated by a Dolphins defense that held the Redskins to just 228 total yards. The Dolphins took a 14-0 lead into the half and probably would have won the game 14-0 if not for the most infamous pa s play in Super Bowl history.With just under three minutes left to play, the Dolphins lined up for a 42-yard field goal attempt, and that's when this happened. Most remembered for his infamous misplaced pa s in Super Bowl VII (1973), Garo Tomas Hertl Jersey Yepremian arrived in the US from Larnaca, Cyprus at the age of 22. Convinced he could become an NFL kicker Yepremian began contacting NFL teams....READ MORE: Ara the Rat (@aratherat) That's Dolphins kicker Garo Yepremian throwing a very ill-advised pa s after the Redskins blocked his field goal attempt. The reason this game qualifies as somewhat exciting is that the Redskins actually got the ball back with 1:14 left to play with a chance to tie the game, but they promptly went four-and-out as the Dolphins defense managed to save the team's perfect season. Result: Dolphins win 14-7.Super Bowl XVI vs. San Francisco 49ersPoint spread:49ers, -1-pointIf there was one Super Bowl in the game's first 20 years that no one saw coming, it was definitely Super Bowl XVI. Both these teams went 6-10 in 1980, so they didn't exactly have high expectations going into the 1981 season. Although this game featured Joe Montana, it was the 49ers defense that came through in the clutch. On what is still considered one of the best goal-line stands in NFL history, the 49ers kept the Bengals out of the end zone on three straight plays from the one-yard line in the third quarter (The Bengals had a first down play from the three-yard line and gained two yards, and after that, the Bengals got three plays from the one-yard line because they went for Martin Jones Jersey it on fourth down). One of the most notable plays from the goal line stand came on third down when Dan Bunz made a perfect open-field tackle on Cincinnati's Charles Alexander. The Stop I, featuring unsung hero Dan Bunz in Super Bowl XVI in 1982 Kevin Jones (@Mr_KevinJones) The score was 20-7 at the time of the goal-line stand, so if the Bengals would have scored, it would have been 20-14 heading into the fourth quarter. Although the Bengals did eventually cut the lead to 20-14, that didn't happen until midway through the fourth quarter and it was too little too late.Result: 49ers win 26-21.Super Bowl XLVI vs. Point spread: Patriots, -2.5 pointsThe oddsmakers definitely learned their le son after watching the Giants upset the 16-0 Patriots in Super Bowl XLII, because they only made the Patriots a 2.5 point favorite in this game, even though New England had finished the 2011 season at 13-3 while the Giants went just 9-7. In this game, the Patriots held a 17-9 lead with 10 minutes to play in the third quarter, but they were unable to score for the rest of the game. On the other hand, the Giants were able to move the ball up and down the field. Not only did they get two field goals from Lawrence Tynes to cut the lead to 17-12, but would end up rushing for the game-winning touchdown with just under a minute left to play.Result: Giants win 21-17.Super Bowl XLVIII vs. Point spread:Broncos, -2 pointsOf the seven games with a close point spread, this is the only one that was truly a blowout from start to finish. The Broncos got safetied David Schlemko Jersey on their first offensive play of the game, and then things only got worse after that. Not only did Denver give up a safety, but also threw a pick-six and their special teams gave up a kickoff return for a touchdown to . SEE YA. style. Raise your hand if you remember this Percy Harvin kick return. (via ) NFL (@NFL) The Broncos got beat in every phase of the game by a superior Seahawks team and it showed on the scoreboard.
