The Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks are set to meet in Super Bowl XLVIII in New York and New Jersey. The initial line was about one point. At least two had the Broncos as one-point favorites. Sportsbook.com had the Broncos as 1.5 point favorites while Bovada had the Broncos as 1 point favorites.

Now, the spread is continuing to grow, and some what quickly. Some offshore books have Denver favored by -2.5:

The over/under for the game is set at 48 points and this is interesting as the league’s best pass defense and pass offense face each other.
