Sportsbook: 65 Percent Of Bets On Patriots, 75 Percent On Over For Super Bowl LI
While nobody knows exactly what's going to happen on Sunday, Feb. 5 when the Patriots and Falcons kick off Super Bowl LI in Houston, Texas, the betting public certainly seems to be favoring the Patriots beating the Falcons by at least a field goal less than two weeks from now.
According to Bovada Sportsbook, 65 percent of the money bet on the Super Bowl so far has been on the Patriots -3. Bovada also notes that 75 percent of the money being bet on the over/under -- set at a record-high of 58 -- is coming in on the over.
With the heavy money coming in on the Patriots winning in a shootout, Las Vegas and sportsbooks around the world will be rooting for a low-scoring Falcons victory.
Bovada also detailed the odds to win MVP for the Super Bowl with Tom Brady and Matt Ryan (predictably) leading the charge with the best odds.
