If the point spread stays at its current number, this year’s Super Bowl between the Seahawks and Patriots will be the narrowest odds for the Big Game since San Francisco was a 1-point favorite over Cincinnati in the 1982 contest.
Nearly all sportsbooks have the Patriots as slight favorites, most putting the spread at 1 point. Bovada has the Pats as 2-point favorites and some books have the game as a “PICK.”
The over-under is pretty consistent across the board with most places setting the number at 47.5 total points.
This is the Patriots 7th Super Bowl appearance. They were double-digit underdogs in the first 2, but have been favored in the 5 since.
Seattle is making its second-straight Super Bowl trip. The Seahawks were mostly 2.5-point underdogs to the Broncos a year ago, but won handily 43-8.
