The Super Bowl 49 spread opened up to the New England Patriots being a three-point underdog against the Seattle Seahawks, but as the public jumped on the early gambling bandwagon, the line shifted to a Pick’em within a few hours of its opening. The Patriots are now mild favorites on most sportsbooks and the shift is partially in part of a recency bias. Receny bias is referring to how a team performed in their most recent game as an indicator of how they will perform in their upcoming game. 

“At the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook, the opening line favoring the Seahawks by 2.5 points moved quickly even before the Patriots-Colts game was over. Shortly after the game was over, the line was already at pick `em.”
