Noteworthy Super Bowl Betting Trends
We are preparing for the 50th Super Bowl in history. Over the 49 games we have seen thus far some interesting Super Bowl betting trends have developed that are worth taking note of when placing bets, or at the very least, are interesting facts worth knowing.
Can We Learn From Past Super Bowl Betting Trends?
How much betting trends actually help make wise betting decisions is debatable given how much the game has changed over the years. Â In other words trends that date back into the early days of the Super Bowl would likely be less helpful than modern trends.
One modern trend that bettors can look at is that underdogs are 11-4-1 against the spread since 2000. Half of those teams won straight up. Underdogs have won the last five consecutive Super Bowls. The Carolina Panthers are currently around -6-point underdogs.
As far as the favorites, only three times has a favorite covered in 16 games and not won straight up. Also, in the last 11 meetings  between two No. 1 seeds, the favorites is 8-3 against the spread. The Denver Broncos  are set as the favorites for Super Bowl 50.
Considering both those trends, the points spread means virtually nothing in the Super Bowl historically.
The total for this year’s Super Bowl has not been set over at Bovada. However, when it is released remember befor laying money that there have been seven total in the Super Bowl lower than 45. All those games hit the OVER.
