While sportsbooks unanimously agree the Seattle Seahawks are favored to beat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX, they are split over how many points to spot them.
While several sportsbooks had the Seahawks as low as -3.5 favorites at opening, BetMGM had the NFC champions at -5 ahead of Super Bowl LX.
Key Takeaways
- The odds are moving in the direction of the Seahawks.
- Caesars already reported $36k and $55k bets on spreads for both teams.
- Drake Maye could become the youngest quarterback to win the Super Bowl.
It’s not uncommon for sportsbooks to have slightly different spreads, but a full point-and-a-half across multiple platforms is rare. Moreover, it’s not as if one sportsbook was an outlier compared to the rest – they were truly split.
DraftKings and theScore Bet both opened with the Seahawks at -3.5 against the Patriots.

Sportsbooks report and expect huge Super Bowl bets
The Super Bowl is the most watched and most bet event in American sports annually. This year's matchup provides another compelling storyline: a break from the dominance of the NFL’s usual powers. Sportsbooks are expecting big bets and even more of the game.
“Fans get a rematch of Super Bowl XLIX, which featured a classic ending,” said Joey Feazel, head of football at Caesars Sportsbook. “We get East coast vs. West coast, an MVP candidate in Drake Maye and Sam Darnold, who has defied the doubters.”
Stories often become less compelling when the main characters are removed.
However, the NFL betting markets – even without Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, and Jalen Hurts – are alive and well.
“Within seconds of opening odds, we accepted a $36k wager on the Seahawks -4.5, and a $55k wager on New England +4.5,” said Feazel. “Action will be furious for the next two weeks as we have a marquee matchup.”
Super Bowl history
Regardless of who wins in two weeks, history will be made.
A Patriots win would make Drake Maye the youngest quarterback to ever hoist the Lombardi Trophy, beating Ben Roethlisberger, who was 23 years and 11 months old. Head coach Mike Vrabel would also become the first person in the modern era to win a Super Bowl with the same team as a coach and player.
On the other side, Sam Darnold, a former third-overall pick who was widely considered a bust, would be cemented as one of the greatest comeback stories in football. The Seahawks would also avenge their loss in Super Bowl XLIX, which ended with Malcolm Butler intercepting Russell Wilson at the goal line with 0:26 on the clock.
