Notes:

Super Bowl would be the 30th straight game Broncos have been favored (25-4 straight-up and 20-9 ATS in the prior 29)

Only 4 prior Super Bowls have been so close that the line has been LESS THAN a field goal.
First time since 2003 that the Super Bowl Champion will have the best regular season record (Denver & Seattle tied with 13 wins)

Super Bowl Action:

An estimated $10 BILLION is projected to be bet on Super Bowl XLVIII worldwide!
Over half of adult Americans are expected to have some money at risk on the game.
Less than 1% of the total amount bet is expected to be wagered legally in Nevada.
A majority of experts are projecting SB48 will be the biggest bet Super Bowl EVER!
