The betting public is loving the favorites ahead of this weekend’s Conference Championships.
With a couple of days to go before both games kick off, the vast majority of the money has come in on the Patriots and Seahawks.
Seattle, a 2.5-point favorite who will welcome the Los Angeles Rams, has received 62.8 percent of bets and 57.4 percent of the handle against the spread at theScore Bet.
They’re getting just as much love on the moneyline, receiving 60.2 percent of bets and 63.7 percent of the handle.
The Seahawks are only slight favorites after throttling the 49ers following their bye week, while the Rams have survived two close road games en route to the conference championships.
In the AFC, the Patriots, who are a rare road favorite after the devastating ankle injury to Bo Nix, are attracting even more bettors.
Sitting as a 4.5-point favorite, New England has received 74.1 percent of bets and 77.7 percent of the handle.
Bettors are about as confident in a Patriots win, putting 76.5 percent of bets and 69.1 percent of the handle on New England moneyline.
Before the Nix injury, the Broncos were a 1.5-point favorite on the lookahead line.
Betting on the NFL?
Now, with Jarrett Stidham behind center, they’re looking like a mild long shot to make the Super Bowl.
No matter who makes it to the Big Game, it appears the NFC team will be favored.
The Seahawks (+155, FanDuel Sportsbook) and Rams (+200) currently have the two-best odds to win it all despite having to play each other to get there.
