Super Bowl 60 Betting Update

On Sunday at 6:30 p.m., the sports world will turn its eyes to Super Bowl 60, set to feature the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots. With the game approaching, the betting lines are holding steady. Seattle, designated as the road team despite being favorites, opened and remains at a 4.5-point favorite over the home team, New England Patriots.

Interestingly, the total points line opened at 46.5 but has slightly declined to 45.5, where it has stayed consistent since. According to Joe Ranieri, who has been in touch with risk room personnel, there's been a notable increase in betting volume, particularly from the West. He noted that from today onwards, he expects the spread could shift within the next 24 to 48 hours. Despite the predominance of public bets favoring Seattle by a margin of 5 to 6 to 1, the line is hovering around 4.5 to 5 points.

Ranieri emphasized that while there hasn't been a surge of sharp money yet, influential bettors remain on the sidelines. This could mean significant movements in the betting line are still possible as we approach the game. For those interested in betting on higher total points, now might be the optimal time, as the number is anticipated to rise from the current consensus of 45 points.
