The 49ers are the biggest underdog of the weekend and have the longest Super Bowl odds of the eight teams left standing.
That hasn’t stopped NFL bettors from flocking to San Francisco.
As a 7-point ‘dog, Kyle Shanahan’s club is the most-bet team to cover the spread this weekend at BetMGM Sportsbook.
The 49ers, sitting at +260 to pull off the upset over the No. 1-seeded Seahawks on their home field on Saturday night, are also the most-bet team to win on the moneyline.
BetMGM reported Friday morning that 69 percent of bets and 66 percent of the handle came in on the 49ers to cover +7.
On the moneyline, a whopping 81 percent of bets and 76 percent of the handle are on San Francisco.
The love from the betting public comes after the 49ers upset the defending champion Eagles in Philadelphia last Sunday.
In that game, the Niners lost star tight end George Kittle, who went down with a torn Achilles, adding to the long list of injuries that has oddsmakers wary of their chances.

The 49ers and Seahawks split their season series, but it was Seattle that won the most pivotal game of the year.
