For the first time in ten years, the Seattle Seahawks are in the Super Bowl – and up against the very team they played against the last time they were in the big game.
On PlayNow, B.C. bettors are resoundingly backing the favoured Hawks to win it all.
75 per cent of bets are on the Seahawks – 4.5-point favourites – to win their second Super Bowl. Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold is the odds-on favourite to win Super Bowl MVP (+125) in his first season with the club, while New England second-year quarterback Drake Maye (+225) could become the youngest QB to ever win a Super Bowl. However, it’s Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba (+550) who has the most bets to win MVP on PlayNow, garnering 16.5% of wagers.
In addition to betting on the game itself, PlayNow bettors can wager on the whacky and weird: everything from the colour of the liquid dunked on the winning coach, to the coin flip, to the first song performed by Bad Bunny during the halftime show are available for betting.
