Super Bowl 51 Game Betting Total Highest Ever Offered

Oddsmakers released the Super Bowl 51 game betting total and it is the highest ever posted in a Super Bowl.

With the explosive offense and high scoring on both sides, the total was coming in at anywhere from 57 to 58.5 and trending upwards.

At least one book had moved to 59.5.

“I’ll tell you what went into it: How about the Atlanta Falcons the last six games, averaging 39 points a game, and the Patriots over the last four or so averaging 37 points a game,” Wynn Sportsbook Director Johnny Avello told Covers.com Monday. “That’s what went into it.”

The OVER is 6-1 in the Patriots last 7 playoff games and 15-5-1 in the Falcons last 21 games overall.
