Bettors backing Seahawks over Patriots in Super Bowl
"The betting public, which hasn't fared well on the Super Bowl over the years, is siding heavily with the favored Seattle Seahawks and its offensive playmakers in Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. Sportsbooks have reported one-sided action on the Seahawks to win and cover the 4.5-point spread over the last two weeks. On Sunday, 60% of the money bet on the game's point spread was on Seattle at DraftKings Sportsbook,"
"Seattle running back Kenneth Walker III and receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba have attracted significant support from bettors in the Super Bowl player prop market. The over on Walker's receiving yards (20.5) had attracted more bets than any other prop at BetMGM. Smith-Njigba had drawn more bets to score a touchdown than any other player and was second in bets and money wagered in the odds to win the MVP, behind only Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold."
Betting money is heavily concentrated on the Seattle Seahawks and their offensive playmakers, producing one-sided action to win and cover the 4.5-point spread. DraftKings reported 60% of the point-spread money on Seattle, and Seattle to win was the most popular parlay leg at Hard Rock Bet. Kenneth Walker III and Jaxon Smith-Njigba drew significant player-prop support; the over on Walker's receiving yards led BetMGM bets, and Smith-Njigba led touchdown bets while ranking second in MVP wagers behind Sam Darnold. Smith-Njigba and Darnold made up 40% of DraftKings MVP money. Nevada sportsbooks have recorded only two statewide Super Bowl losses since 1991, posted a record $22.1 profit on last year's game, and won more than $203 million on football in 2025.
