Steelers to face Packers in Super Bowl
After opening lines were posted and the first wave of Super Bowl wagers rolled in Sunday night, Las Vegas sports books posted the Green Bay Packers as 2.5-point favorites over the Pittsburgh Steelers for the game on Feb. 6.
The total ranges from 45.5 to 46.
A showdown between two of the NFL’s most popular teams should result in a large wagering handle for the state.
“These are two heavyweights matching up,” Las Vegas Hilton sports book director Jay Kornegay said. “It’s going to be a very attractive game to watch and wager on.”
The Packers were 3.5-point favorites in their 21-14 victory over the Chicago Bears in the NFC title game.
The Steelers closed as 4-point favorites in a 24-19 victory over the New York Jets for the AFC championship.
