The Super Bowl is now set. After the Seattle Seahawks held off a late charge by the San Francisco 49ers, Seattle earned the opportunity to meet Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII, which will take place Feb. 2 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey

After the Broncos made the Super Bowl, the opening Vegas odds had the game listed as a pick’em regardless of who the NFC representative was.

However, now that the Seahawks have clinched a spot in the big game, the Las Vegas odds have shifted and the Broncos opened as a 1.5-point favorite over the Seahawks, according to Sportsbook.com.

The over/under for the game is set at 48 points.
