It’s less than 24 hours until the end of the NFL division championship game and the Super Bowl LX contestants are decided, but the big bets are already pouring in. BetMGM has the Seattle Seahawks currently leading the New England Patriots by 4.5 points.
The Super Bowl is America’s biggest betting event every year, with two famous teams and rich storylines, and oddsmakers are certainly thankful it’s the Patriots who advance and not the Denver Broncos, who have Jarrett Stidham as their backup quarterback.

One bettor has waited long enough to place his first seven-figure bet on the race.
Circa Sports reported Monday that one bettor placed $1.1 million on the Patriots moneyline for Super Bowl LX at +188 odds. If New England wins the game, bettors will pocket nearly $2.1 million. This is the first seven-figure bet on the game, and it likely won’t be the last.
Patriots quarterback Derek Meyer has been sacked five times in each of three playoff games this year. New England’s offense totaled just 54 points, but the Patriots have advanced to the Super Bowl. New England’s tenacious defense helped the offense, which held opponents to less than 3.5 yards per play and gave up just 26 points total.
According to reports, New England’s largest futures bet currently is a $30,000 bet at BetMGM on the Patriots winning Super Bowl LX at 22-1 odds, for a $660,000 bonus.
