Seattle is a $1.40 favourite in online bookie Sportingbet.com.au’s head to head market versus $3.05 for the Packers.
And punters are rallying behind the defending champion for more title success, with the Seahawks $6.50 favourites ahead of the New England Patriots ($7), the Denver Broncos ($7.50) and the San Francisco 49ers ($8.50) to win Super Bowl XLIX.
“Just shy of 20% of the total money wagered on our Super Bowl market is for Seattle so far and our US & UK offices are reporting a similar trend,” Sportingbet’s Andrew Brown said.
“There has been steady support for a couple of teams at odds, including a bet of $2,000 at $17 for the Saints and $1,000 at $31 for the Steelers.”
Broncos quarter back Peyton Manning is Sportingbet’s $4 favourite for most passing yards in the regular season, in front of Drew Brees ($4.25), Matthew Stafford ($7.50) and Aaron Rodgers ($8.50).
“I’ve got Tom Brady in my fantasy team so I’ll be cheering him on at $15.”
