FROM KEITH GROLLER

It wasn't a good game for TV ratings or the Denver fans, but Sunday night's Seattle blowout may have been good for the bookmakers in Las Vegas.

Here's a recap from RJ Bell Pregame.Com as well as a look ahead to who Vegas thinks might be in next year's big game:

Super Bowl XLVIII Recap (payouts are average from multiple sportsbooks)

Denver officially closed as a 2.5 point favorite over Seattle.

68% of bets were on Denver. 32% of bets on Seattle.

Underdog has covered 6 of last 7 Super Bowls.

Most points any Super Bowl underdog has ever won the game by (Seattle by 35)
Covered by most points of ANY Super Bowl team ever (Seattle covered spread by 37.5 points)
(Washington +3 winning by 32 points in Super Bowl XXII had held both records)

Seattle winning by between 34 and 38 points paid 100 to 1

Denver scoring exactly 8 points paid 225 to 1

First Score Safety paid 50 to 1. Sportsbooks lost big on this prop.

Malcolm Smith was such a big longshot to win MVP he did not have individual odds listed at sportsbooks
(like all unlisted players, he was included in the “field” – which paid out 20 to 1 on average)

Coin Flip was TAILS. After 48 Super Bowls: 24 Heads; 24 Tails

Early reports indicate Super Bowl XLVIII was the biggest bet football game EVER!
