A significant decrease in bets is expected for Super Bowl LV compared to last year's NFL finale because of COVID-19 restrictions, according to data released Tuesday by the American Gaming Association. Super Bowl 55 prop bets – Over 2.5 players to attempt a pass This one is a fairly cut and dry prop asking you to bet on whether or not a trick play will be attempted in the game.

A new survey from Seton Hall University suggests more Americans are open to placing Super Bowl bets in 2021.

Yet while more Americans than ever have access to legal betting, fewer Super Bowl wagers are expected than last year.

More than 23 million Americans will bet on Super Bowl 55, per the American Gaming Association. Those bettors will wager $4.3 billion on the Super Bowl this year, according to the AGA.

Despite the 36 million Americans who gained legal access to sports betting platforms since last year’s Super Bowl, the AGA’s projections are less than last year’s forecasted 26 million bettors placing $6.8 billion in wagers.

The COVID-19 pandemic is likely to blame for much of the decline, with the success of mobile betting platforms providing a refuge.

Where Super Bowl bets are placed

More than 7.6 million Americans will bet through online sportsbooks, a 36% jump from last year. Just 1.6 million bettors will wager in-person at retail sportsbooks, a 61% drop.

The Seton Hall Sports Poll found 30% of respondents who bet in the last year did so online, with another 29% in-person. An additional 13% said their bets were through a combination of both.

“With a robust legal market, Americans are abandoning illegal bookies and taking their action into the regulated marketplace in record numbers,” AGA President and Chief Executive Officer Bill Miller said.

Legal access cuts down illegal activity

The AGA survey found significant drops in illegal Super Bowl activity:

• 1.8 million plan to bet with a bookie, a 21% drop
• 4.5 million plan to place pool or squares bets, a 19% drop
• 11.9 million plan to bet casually with friends, an 18% drop

But illegal activity is still around, as the Seton Hall poll suggested 28% of those who bet in the last year did so illegally.

Youth driving Super Bowl bets

The Seton Hall poll found 73% of adults would not place Super Bowl bets this year, down from 88% in 2019.

The 18-34 demographic is driving the change in attitude, with 60% never having placed a bet. That’s a sharp decrease from the 84% of those older than 55 who haven’t placed a bet.

Seton Hall marketing professor Daniel Ladik said:

“Through widespread marketing and partnerships with the leagues, legal wagering is working its way into the fabric of the sports universe at a rapid pace, particularly among younger people who have grown up in a digital world and are comfortable with online gaming options like DraftKings, FanDuel and any number of online casinos that offer a dizzying array of game and proposition betting opportunities.”

And then there were two! Super Bowl odds have been determined with the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers playing for this season’s Super Bowl championship Sunday, Feb. 7. Tom Brady vs. Patrick Mahomes in what should be an exciting game play for all of the marbles.

The Kansas City Chiefs (-160) have been the Super Bowl LV favorite of BetMGM oddsmakers to go back-to-back since they won last year’s Super Bowl. Only a few times along the way have other teams flirted with similar or shorter odds and here the Chiefs sit one game away from repeating. Brady, who knows a thing or six about winning the Super Bowl, and his Buccaneers, will have something to say about it.
