Patriots vs Seahawks Public Betting Splits: Sharps & Squares Align for Super Bowl 60

The sports betting world has turned its collective gaze toward Santa Clara as the New England Patriots prepare to battle the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl 60 at Levi’s Stadium. This high-stakes championship clash – a rematch of the dramatic Patriot victory in Super Bowl 49 – kicks off at 6:30 pm ET today with a massive national audience tuning in on NBC.
As the handle floods the market, a clear consensus is forming. Ticket counts reveal that the betting public is heavily backing the NFC champions, undeterred by the contrarian “fade the public” sentiment often prevalent in major events. Handicappers are now dissecting whether New England’s defensive schemes can stall Seattle’s efficient attack, or if the Seahawks’ statistical dominance will translate to a cover on the neutral turf.
The betting markets for Super Bowl 60 show substantial alignment between casual bettors and professional syndicates regarding the spread and total. The following table breaks down the current betting percentages and money distribution for the Patriots-Seahawks matchup.

The odds in the table are from Caesars Sportsbook as of 3:18 pm ET. Check out SBD’s NFL odds page to see the best-available price for each Super Bowl 60 betting market.
The latest NFL public betting percentages indicate overwhelming confidence in the Seahawks, who are dominating ticket count and handle across all major markets.
In the spread market, Seattle is attracting 61% of the wagers and nearly 60% of the handle, suggesting that the “smart money” is not shying away from laying the points.
The moneyline splits are even more drastic, with 74% of tickets backing Seattle to hoist the Lombardi Trophy, leaving the Patriots as a lonely contrarian play.
The total is seeing lopsided action on over 45.5, with the public expecting Darnold and Maye to trade blows in a high-scoring affair rather than a defensive grind.
Should Bettors Fade the Public in Super Bowl 60?
In standard NFL handicapping, the reflex is often to “fade the public” – betting against the popular consensus under the assumption that bookmakers usually profit from lopsided action. However, blindly betting against the masses without analyzing the underlying metrics is a flawed strategy. For Super Bowl 60, the data indicates that the public and the sharps have found common ground.
With the Seahawks drawing the majority of spread bets and a massive share of the moneyline handle, the market is pricing in a significant mismatch. After dissecting the red-zone efficiency and drive sustainability metrics, our A.I. Super Bowl picks decided to tail the public on its ATS and moneyline picks.
While contrarian bettors might view New England catching five points as a value proposition, the efficiency disparity between these two offenses is stark. The public’s faith in Seattle is supported by concrete situational stats.
The same is true of the public’s confidence in the over. With the game total as low as 45.0 at Fanatics, our A.I. model listed the over as one of its best bets for Super Bowl 60.
Notably, this diverges from the SBD’s computer picks for Super Bowl 60, meaning our internal algorithm projects a score under 45 points (specifically SEA 21.5 – 20.6 NE, which amounts to just 42.1 total points).
