Although there are still several weeks left in the National Football League season, bookies are preparing for NFL super bowl LV as early as this week. Some sportsbooks have already released ad campaigns made to attract new and existing players.
The Super Bowl is the biggest sports betting day of the year. According to Pay Per Head King, the estimated betting handle for the sporting event is around $5 billion to $5.6 billion. In last year’s Super Bowl LIV, the total handle was $5.2 billion. In case you forget the result, Kansas City Chiefs came from behind to win against the San Francisco 49ers.
Players from the United States spent at least $270 million on last year’s Super Bowl. With the potential matchup between two popular squads this year, a bookie pay per head blog expects the handle to be higher.
Preparing for NFL Super Bowl LV
The Kansas City Chiefs have the best record in the NFL today, along with the Pittsburgh Steelers. In the NFC, the New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Green Bay Packers, and Seattle Seahawks are contenders for a Super Bowl spot.
In 2020, contenders for the Vince Lombardi Trophy are Seattle’s Russell Wilson, Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger, Tampa Bay’s Tom Brady, New Orleans’ Drew Brees, and Green Bays’ Aaron Rodgers.
Bookies are expecting Kansas City to return to the Super Bowl this year. Most of them want either the Packers, Buccaneers, or the Saints to be the Chiefs’ opponents. Quarterbacks from all four teams will be hall of famers in the future. The final game would be an instant classic.
Although almost half of the US states can wager on the Super Bowl legally, Ohio is not one of them. Legal sports betting in Ohio remains in limbo after lawmakers failed to pass legislation for its legalization.
