When they met in last season’s Super Bowl, the Denver Broncos were a small betting favorite against the Seattle Seahawks.
Seattle, though, dominated from start to finish in a 43-8 victory. The speed of the Seattle defense overwhelmed Peyton Manning’s Broncos to produce one of the more lopsided Super Bowl outcomes in recent memory.
A rematch of the Super Bowl highlights the Week 3 schedule next Sunday in the NFL. Seattle opened today in Las Vegas as four-point betting favorites against the visiting Broncos. The number was quickly bet to minus-4.5.
Some might think the number is too low considering Seattle’s Super Bowl victory was so convincing. And, it could also be considered a low number because the Seahawks are virtually impossible to beat at home.
Then again, maybe the number is just right. Denver’s offense is still powerful with Manning calling the shots.
Here are the rest of the numbers for next week’s pro and college slate from CG Technologies, which was the first company to post odds today. Numbers from other properties are since been posted, too.
