Which teams are people betting on to win Super Bowl XLVIII?

The NFL Super Bowl 2014 is set to take place this year on Sunday February 2, 2014 at MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands and considering the four teams left in the hunt are (arguably) the four best teams from the 2013 NFL season, we’re due for an epic ride.

Sure Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chill Peppers are going to be a huge part of the spectacle but most fans with any passion for their favorite team will have money riding on the game. At the end of the day you’ll be calling the day a success based on how many of your bets you won and how many cans of beer you crushed.

Now let’s find out which teams are getting the most support from Top Bet bettors.

Who are people betting on to win the Super Bowl

Broncos | 16%
Patriots | 48%
Seahawks | 14%
49ers | 23%

Peyton Manning might have tore up the record book this year but by looking at the stats on who people are backing to win the big game, his fans still have doubts about the elder Manning’s ability to win another ring. The Broncos fan base is being run over by Patriots bettors who have placed three times as many wagers in support of their team to win the AFC Championship and then Super Bowl.

In the NFC, Seattle fans might be making the most noise and breaking Guinness World Records but they aren’t putting their money where their mouth is. 49ers fans believe in their team enough to win three games on the road and walk into whatever cold weather waits for them at MetLife Stadium, and win.

Which fans bet the most on their teams to win the Super Bowl?

Broncos | $72.81 avg bet
Patriots | $49.10 avg bet
Seahawks | $76.22 avg bet
49ers | $42.14 avg bet

While the Pats fans sure love to boast about their pedigree and about ‘Terrific Tom,’ they sure are reluctant to lay it on the line the way other fans are. Pats bettors are putting down an average bet of $49.10 on New England to win the Super Bowl while Broncos fans are putting a whopping $72.81 on average.

The trend is the same in the NFC where the Seahawks have gotten less bets placed in their favor but those put down on them show a rabid, die-hard fan base. Their hated rival 49ers are putting down $42.14 per bet on which team will win the 2014 Super Bowl while Seattle fans are overwhelming them with $72.81 in average bets to support their team,

How should I interpret these Super Bowl Betting stats?

Well first off you can use them to make fun of the team with the fan base you despise most and point out that no matter their hype, they don’t believe in their teams fully. The varying support also goes to show just how tough the match-ups are in the NFC and AFC Championship games and how worried every team should be about who they’ll face in Super Bowl XLVIII.

Aside from that these stats go to show how important the betting lines are for these teams. With the Pats paying 4:1, they are the best bargain on the board. Seahawks fans may not be putting as many bets as other teams but it’s likely because their team is a strong favorite, with a low payout of 2:1. Anyone who put cash on the Ravens last year knows that somethings betting on the weakest team is worth it, oddly enough this year there is no weak team.

Once you’ve decided which team you’re backing, head to the NFL futures section and make your pick.
