What Are the Betting Trends to Know for Super Bowl LX?

Betting trends can be useful when deciding which side to bet on, but bettors should avoid blindly following trends, especially in a game like the Super Bowl. The teams in the Super Bowl are different every season, so it's more important to analyze the make up of each roster, how they've performed all season and their current form rather than only trusting a trend -- no matter how effective -- to hit.

Here's a look at a few interesting trends entering Super Bowl LX:

  • The Seahawks are 14-5 against the spread this season (the best mark in the NFL)
  • The Patriots are 13-6-1 against the spread this season (the second-best mark in the NFL)
  • New England is 2-1 against the spread in the playoffs this season
  • Seattle is 2-0 against the spread in the playoffs this season
  • Since 2003, Super Bowl favorites are just 7-15 against the spread
