Latest Super Bowl 60 odds: Patriots in rare company as a significant ‘dog vs. Seattle

This time last year, the New England Patriots had +12500 odds of winning the Super Bowl after a 4-13 campaign. Now, they’re 60 minutes away from potentially hoisting the Lombardi Trophy and scoring the franchise’s seventh all-time title.

Kickoff is still about two weeks away, but the oddsmakers are quick to send out betting lines to capitalize on the buzz surrounding the biggest betting event of the sports calendar.

New England opened as a 3.5-point underdog to the Seattle Seahawks at the top Massachusetts sportsbooks in a rematch of Super Bowl 49, but the line has now moved to Seattle -4.5.

For context, the Super Bowl point spread opened over the key betting number of three for only the fifth time in the past 17 seasons, according to sportsoddshistory.com (the first time since the Bengals opened as 3.5-point underdogs to the Rams ahead of Super Bowl 56 in 2022).

The Patriots are +190 moneyline underdogs (a $10 bet wins $19, plus your stake) at DraftKings (Seattle is -230). The over/under, meanwhile, is around 46 and 46.5 points. This is the lowest Super Bowl total since 2016 (43.5 for Carolina vs. Denver; that game went under).

Most bettors will wait to wager until the day of the game, but betting early can be a great way to capitalize on betting lines that may adapt over the course of the week. Let’s take a look at all you’ll want to know as we gear up for the final game of this NFL season.

The selection of betting markets for the Super Bowl expands well beyond the total we see for any other game. Whether you’re hoping to bet on how long the National Anthem will go, the result of the coin toss, or what color of Gatorade will be dumped on the winning coach, you’ll be able to find lines available.

Regarding the game itself, a favorite market among football fans is wagering on who will be named Super Bowl MVP. Both quarterbacks currently lead the pack, but here’s a closer look at the five top contenders to be honored postgame:

Super Bowl odds history

Let’s take a look at some of the past Super Bowl showdowns and compare the betting lines to this year’s game.

New England is tied with the 2017-18 Philadelphia Eagles and 2021-22 Cincinnati Bengals for the biggest underdogs of the last 10 seasons. That Eagles team went on to win against the Patriots, while Cincinnati fell to the Rams in Super Bowl 56.

Teams favored by four or more points are 1-4 in the past 15 seasons, so this point spread shouldn’t discourage New England fans who are optimistic. The franchise was also a 14-point underdog going into Super Bowl 36 against the St. Louis Rams, so things have looked far more bleak.

The over/under line is also of note for this year’s game. The point total set by oddsmakers is the lowest we’ve seen since 2016, when the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos played.

Playing the under on the big game was a great bet for a bit, with four consecutive unders from 2018 to 2022, but the over has been more common lately. It’s worth noting that these teams have a combined 23-16-0 record on the over/under this season.
