Although the early Las Vegas line had the NFC Champions Seattle Seahawks as 2.5 point favorites over the AFC Champions New England Patriots for the Feb. 1 in Super Bowl XLIX in Glendale, Ariz., it quickly adjusted to a pick ’em.

There has never been a pick ’em spread at the Super Bowl, and based on the moving line on Sunday, it figures to change numerous times before Feb. 1.

The Super Bowl over/under total was sitting at 49 as of Sunday evening.
