DraftKings explains Patriots’ surprising 4.5-point Super Bowl spread

TL;DR Summary
DraftKings’ Johnny Avello says the Patriots are 4.5-point underdogs largely due to a liability on New England and slower-than-ideal odds adjustments; the book opened Seattle -3.5 to balance action but now faces potential losses if the Patriots win, with NE’s moneyline at +190 and Nevada books rarely losing on the Super Bowl.
