The Patriots opened as a four-point favorite in Super Bowl XLVI against the Giants. But early money came for New York so quickly that the spread dropped to 3.5. “I’m a little bit surprised,” Wynn sports book director John Avello said of the early movement. “I think it was an easy number to make. I was thinking 4 the entire time with the Giants. I was thinking Patriots by 6.5 over the 49ers.”
