Super Bowl Betting Odds: Point Spread, Over/Under For Rams vs. Patriots

One of the biggest days in North American sports is almost here. The New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams are in Atlanta to battle it out for a Super Bowl championship on Sunday, and as always, Las Vegas oddsmakers have set a point spread and over/under for the big game.

The game line as of Friday was New England -2.5, according to Vegas Insider. The line has not budged much in the two weeks since the AFC and NFC Championship Games; it opened as New England -1.5 and progressively moved more in the Patriots’ favor over time.

Still, oddsmakers expect it to be a close game. After all, all eight previous Super Bowls in the Tom Brady and Bill Belichick era have been one-score games.

One thing for bettors to consider is that the Rams have covered the spread in the past four consecutive games. That stat is courtesy of Bovada.

Bovada also has the over/under for the game, which is set at 56.5 points. This is widely expected to be a high-scoring game in which both teams score 25 or more points. The Rams finished second in the NFL with 32.9 points per game, while the Patriots finished fourth with 27.3 points per game during the regular season.

If the Patriots win, it will further cement Brady and Belichick as perhaps the greatest quarterback and head coach duo of all time, with six championships under their belts. If the Rams win, it will be the first NFL championship in Los Angeles since the Raiders won the Super Bowl in 1983. It would also be the first championship for the Rams franchise since they won it in St. Louis in 1999.
