Seahawks Favored Over Patriots in Super Bowl Betting Trends
The Super Bowl has always been a focal point for betting enthusiasts, and this year follows that tradition. As the Seattle Seahawks prepare to face the New England Patriots, betting trends heavily favor the Seahawks. They have captured the attention of bettors eager to support their offensive talents.
Current Betting Trends: Seahawks vs. Patriots
In the lead-up to the Super Bowl, sportsbooks have observed a significant amount of betting activity on the Seattle Seahawks. Over the last two weeks, the betting landscape has shown that public sentiment leans strongly toward Seattle to win and cover the 4.5-point spread. DraftKings Sportsbook reported that 60% of the money wagered on the point spread favors Seattle.
Player Prop Bets Gaining Momentum
Specific players are also drawing considerable interest among bettors. Seattle running back Kenneth Walker III and wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba are at the forefront of the player prop market for the Super Bowl. The over on Walker’s receiving yards, set at 20.5, is the most bet prop at BetMGM. Meanwhile, Smith-Njigba is the most popular choice for scoring a touchdown and ranks second in betting activity for MVP odds, just behind Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold.
Historical Context and Sportsbook Insights
Despite the public’s enthusiasm for the Seahawks, bookmakers have their own preferences. BetMGM’s senior trading manager Christian Cipollini pointed out that the outcome supporting New England in a lower-scoring game would be beneficial for sportsbooks. Additionally, he noted that underwhelming performances by key Seahawks players could enhance their odds.
Looking at historical performance, Nevada sportsbooks have only recorded a net loss on the Super Bowl a couple of times since 1991. Notably, there was a $2.6 million loss during the Giants’ surprising victory over the Patriots in 2008. This past year, however, sportsbooks enjoyed a successful Super Bowl, raking in a record profit of $22.1 million.
Nevada’s Football Betting Success
The betting landscape has seen remarkable success in Nevada, especially in 2025, when sportsbooks profited over $203 million from both collegiate and professional football. This level of success makes it clear that the Super Bowl remains a pivotal event for both bettors and sportsbooks alike.
As the big game approaches, fans will watch closely not just for the on-field action but also for how these betting trends play out. With the Seattle Seahawks heavily favored in this matchup, it remains to be seen how this will impact both the game and the betting landscape.
