The New England Patriots are back in the Super Bowl for a record-extending twelfth time, whereas the Seattle Seahawks are set to make their fourth appearance. <\/p>

Super Bowl LX<\/a> will also be a rematch of the famous Super Bowl XLIX, where the goal-line interception by the Patriots handed them the win. Nevertheless, all that is in the past, and now it is time to look ahead to Sunday’s clash. <\/p>

And while the two teams get ready to go at one another on the field, fans of the NFL<\/a> can immerse themselves in further entertainment via betting. In this article, we will take a look at spread betting and the correct way to go about it. <\/p>

What is spread betting?<\/h2>

The spread in betting is associated with points in a game. Although, unlike the moneyline<\/em>, where you just bet on a team to win, the spread<\/em> takes into account how many points a team won or lost by. Thus, in spread betting, even if a team loses the game outright but covers the spread, those who wagered correctly win the bet. <\/p>

Let’s take an example with respect to the upcoming game between the Patriots and the Seahawks in Super Bowl LX. As per most genuine sportsbooks such as FanDuel<\/a><\/strong> and BetMGM<\/a><\/strong>, the spread for the game is Seahawks (-4.5) and Patriots (+4.5). <\/p>

The table below gives a better idea of the spread and the respective odds. <\/p>

<\/th>Seattle Seahawks<\/strong><\/th>New England Patriots<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
FanDuel<\/strong><\/td>-4.5 (-112)<\/a><\/td>+4.5 (-108)<\/a><\/td><\/tr>
BetMGM<\/strong><\/td>-4.5 (-110)<\/a><\/td>+4.5 (-110)<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>
The above odds are sourced via <\/em>FanDuel<\/a><\/em><\/strong> and <\/em>BetMGM<\/a><\/em><\/strong> and are accurate as of Thursday, February 05, 2026, at 5:45 a.m. ET. Lines may move before kickoff.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>

Therefore, if you place a spread bet on the Seahawks, in order to win, Seattle must win the game by a minimum of 5 points. That means hypothetically, if the final score of Super Bowl LX turns out to be 31-27 in favor of Seattle, the Seahawks would win the game but wouldn’t cover the spread. <\/p>

Similarly, in the above scenario, even though the Patriots lose the game, they would do so by just 4 points, which means those who placed a wager on New England to cover the spread would win the bet. <\/p>

Understanding <\/em><\/strong>how to bet on NFL games<\/em><\/strong><\/a> is crucial for maximizing the value of our expert picks and making informed wagers each week.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>
