The public doesn’t put much stock in Peyton Manning’s postseason failures.
Though the Seahawks opened as one-point favorites over the Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII on Feb. 2, heavy action quickly came in on Manning and Denver, turning the Broncos into one-point favorites at most sportsbooks, though it reached as high as three points at some sites.
The Broncos money line (straight-up win) is -145, while the Seahawks are +125. The over/under is 47 ½ .
If this spread remains under 2 ½ points, it would mark the lowest Super Bowl spread since the 49ers and Bengals played in the first of two Super Bowl meetings, 32 years ago.
Underdogs have covered five of the past six Super Bowls, with four winning straight up.
