The New England Patriots were the first team to advance to Super Bowl LX, beating the Denver Broncos 10-7 as 3.5-point road favorites in a snow-filled game at Empower Field at Mile High on Sunday afternoon. The game stayed well under the pregame total of 43.
Drake Maye and Co. were favorites in all three playoff games on their path to Super Bowl LX, but they’ll be underdogs in the biggest game of the season.

The Seattle Seahawks, after beating the Los Angeles Rams 31-27 in the NFC championship game, opened as 5-point favorites in Super Bowl LX against the Patriots at BetMGM. The total in the game opened at 46.5.
Other sportsbooks opened the Seahawks at -3.5, before early action pushed it up to at least -4.5. It has seemingly settled at -4.5 for now.
“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 on Sunday night. “We’re at -4.5 now.”
The Seahawks closed as 1-point favorites in Super Bowl XLIX in 2015 against the Patriots, a game in which they lost 28-24 thanks to a late Malcolm Butler interception. Seattle was an underdog in the other two Super Bowls it has played in, so this will be the biggest favorite the Seahawks have ever been in the Super Bowl.
The game will be played at 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
