Yahoo Sports.com backslash betting, my buddy, Ben Fox. Ben, what's going on, my friend? How are you? First of all, crush that read. It's great, much better than I could have done. Doing well, man. You're surviving. We're here. We're getting through the week. Do you want to try? No, no, you got it.

I was going to say it.

Bet MGM will love it if we give them.

That's why I get to be the analyst.

You're the host.

All right.

So Ben is one of the... Do you want to try? No, no, you got it. I was going to say it. Bet MGM will love it if we give them.

That's why I get to be the analyst. You're the host. All right. So Ben is one of the preeminent analysts of sports betting in the country, covers it for Yahoo Sports. What can you tell us, my friend, that is interesting about how people are betting Super Bowl 60? Yeah, I think talking to odds makers as well. So I just did a piece, came out this week, talked to 12 odds makers, just give me the final score, right, who you think is going to win, 11 of them, excuse me, have the Seahawks. And as the more people you talked as well, public, also on the Seahawks, about two-thirds of bets at Bet MGM, over 50%, think about 60% of the handle, on the Seahawks to cover. It's tough to find reasons not to like the Seahawks. But yeah, we've seen that line pretty much stay where it's been, right? Open three and a half at some books. Open five at BetMGM. It's kind of settled at four and a half. Total come down a little bit. But as we looked through the numbers, maybe you feel differently.

I think you guys had Nate Tyson. I was talking to him yesterday at our happy end. What a stud. First of all, great guy. Great guest. He liked the Patriots to maybe cover. I just, I know how you feel. The more I look at it, the more with some of those advanced numbers. It's just tough for me to see a path to the Patriots winning this game.

To me, if you play the game 10 times, the Seahawks win seven or eight of them. Now, this could be one of those others. But I just think that the Seahawks are better at almost every position, which is basically what odds makers were saying. What is your best guess are from the people you talk to, odds makers, betters, et cetera? Do you think we're going to close in this range, like Seattle, four and a half, let's say total around 45 and a half? Do you see dramatic moving one way or another, which would be like down towards 44, up towards 47, down to four or up to six when we're talking about total inside.

I think we'll be roughly in this range.

Now, it is interesting.
