Early Super Bowl LX betting lines favor the Seattle Seahawks over the New England Patriots. Seattle opened as a 3.5-point favorite, quickly moving to -4.5. The money line has Seattle at -230, while New England is at +190. The total points are set at 46.5. This matchup pits two teams with long odds entering the season against each other.

The Seahawks and Patriots both entered the season at +6000 odds to win the Super Bowl. This is a significant factor for sportsbooks, like BetMGM and DraftKings, who face substantial liabilities. New England hasn't been an underdog in the Super Bowl since 2002. Underdogs have surprisingly performed well, winning the last three Super Bowls outright.

Sharp bettors are driving initial wagering, shaping the market. Recreational bettors will follow as kickoff approaches. A Seahawks victory would result in a substantial payout for those who placed preseason bets. The last time a team with such long preseason odds won was over two decades ago. This adds another layer of intrigue to the upcoming game.
