The Super Bowl LX matchup has been set, and the Seattle Seahawks are favored over the New England Patriots. The game will be played on Sunday, Feb. 8, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, and will draw the most betting action in a single day in American sports this year.
It’s the most unlikely Super Bowl matchup in at least 50 years, as the Seahawks (60-1 preseason at BetMGM) and Patriots (80-1) were both long shots to win the big game. Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (+130) is the favorite to win Super Bowl LX MVP at sportsbooks.

Sunday, Feb. 1
Super Bowl LX is still a week away, but the early action from the betting public is clearly in favor of the Seahawks. The line has settled at Seahawks -4.5 at most books, with a few out in Vegas sitting Seahawks -5. At theScore Bet, 69% of wagers and nearly 75% of the handle has come in on Seattle to cover the 4.5-point spread, and those betting splits are similar at other books as well.

“It’s been heavy traffic on the Seahawks in pretty much all markets,” Adrian Horton, senior director of North American sports trading at theScore Bet, said in a statement. “Not just spread and money line, but at the top of all our TD scorer and player prop markets too. Coming off of the conference championships, bettors are clearly backing Seattle to have a big day.”

RB TreVeyon Henderon under 4.5 receiving yards (-110)
Total number of Seahawks with a rushing attempt: Over 4.5 (-110)
Will there be a 2-pt conversion attempt? No (-140)
RB Rhamondre Stevenson over 2.5 receptions (-140)
WR Jake Bob under 0.5 receiving yards (-140)
Distance of first field goal made over 36.5 yards (-110)
It’s early, but the betting public continues to wager on the Seahawks to cover in Super Bowl LX. In the biggest event of the year, bettors are pulling for the Seahawks while the book hopes for a low-scoring affair with minimal touchdowns,” Christian Cipollini, a BetMGM trading manager, said in a release. “While there’s still some time before the game, it looks like the game and futures market will be rewarding to bettors if the Seahawks cover the game and win outright.”

The largest reported futures wager (by total bet amount) now belongs to Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale, the Houston furniture salesman known for placing large sports wagers tied to promotions for his Gallery Furniture store.
Mattress Mack wagered $2 million on the AFC to win Super Bowl 60 at +200 odds last week at Caesars Sportsbook before the AFC and NFC championship games were played. The wager was first reported by ESPN and confirmed to Yahoo Sports by the sportsbook.

The wager now is effectively a bet on the New England Patriots to win the Super Bowl at +200 odds, and would win $4 million.
According to ESPN’s David Purdum, Mattress Mack is also running a promotion with his store in which customers who spend $4,000 will get their money back if the Patriots win Super Bowl 60.
There were no reported $1 million wagers at legal U.S. sportsbooks on last year’s Super Bowl between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, but this is the second reported seven-figure wager — and both have come on the underdog Patriots.
Bettors are loading up on the under for Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III, as Walker’s rushing yards prop is the most-bet prop by total wagers among all Super Bowl LX prop bets at BetMGM. Walker’s total rushing yards has decreased from an opener of 78.5 yards down to 73.5, and over 95% of the wagers and money wagered are on the under.

Walker had 19 carries in both of Seattle’s playoff games, and went over this total (116 yards) against San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round and under this total (62 yards) against the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC championship game.
Seattle WR Jaxson Smith-Njigba (-115) is the most popular player to score a touchdown, followed by the Seahawks special teams/defense (+380) at BetMGM.

Legal Sports Report released its annual projection of Super Bowl wagering at legal U.S. sportsbooks, estimating that $1.71 billion will be wagered on the big game across 41 states and territories — an estimated 10.3% increase in handle from last year.

“This year’s big game will continue the streak of record Super Bowl handle for the regulated U.S. market,” LSR analyst Eric Ramsey said in a press release. “Missouri’s recent launch pads an already favorable outlook for a weekend that serves as the single biggest opportunity of the year for legal sportsbooks and bettors alike.”

The first seven-figure Super Bowl LX wager came in at Circa Sports in Nevada, as sportsbook director Jeff Benson reported a bettor had wagered $1.1 million on the New England Patriots money line at +188 odds, and that the wager would win roughly $2.1 million.
Sunday, Jan. 25
The Seahawks were 3.5-point favorites against the Patriots in lookahead lines at sportsbooks, but the Super Bowl LX line opened anywhere from -3.5 to -5 at sportsbooks, and the early betting was mostly on Seattle. The total went from 46.5 down to 46.

“We opened Seahawks -4 and a total of 46.5, and we’ve been getting one-way action on Seattle,” Jeff Sherman, vice president of risk at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, said in text message Sunday night. “We’re at -4.5 now.”
Notable futures wagers
Back in August 2025, as first reported by Yahoo Sports, a bettor at BetMGM wagered $150,000 on three Seattle Seahawks futures bets:
$50,000 on the Seahawks to win Super Bowl 60 at 60-1 odds to win $3 million
$50,000 on the Seahawks to win NFC at 28-1 odds to win $1.4 million
$50,000 on the Seahawks to make playoffs at +185 odds to win $92,500
The bettor has cashed the first two wagers to win $1.492 million and now has a prime opportunity to hedge if he desires with the Patriots a 4.5-point underdog in Super Bowl LX and a +195 underdog on the money line.
Yahoo Sports also reported Circa Sports in Nevada took two sizable wagers at 75-1 odds on the Seahawks to win Super Bowl 60, both with “seven-figure liability” in late August from a new customer as well. Seattle is the sportsbook’s worst futures outcome as a result.

A bettor at Circa also had quite the lottery ticket wager before the season, placing a $100 wager on Aug. 25 on an exact Super Bowl result of the Patriots to defeat the Seahawks at 3,100-1 odds. The wager would win $310,000 if Drake Maye and Co. are victorious.
The largest reported futures wager at U.S. sportsbooks on the Patriots was at DraftKings where Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy wagered $50,000 on New England at 35-1 odds back sometime in October 2025. The wager would win $1.75 million.
Another bettor at DraftKings was a very early believer, wagering $10,000 on New England to win Super Bowl LX at 80-1 odds all the way back on Jan. 21, 2025. The bet would win $800,000.
Mattress Mack placed a $2 million wager on the AFC to win Super Bowl 60 at +200 odds at Caesars Sportsbook before the championship games were played. The bet would win $4 million if the Patriots beat the Seahawks.
