How To Bet On The Super Bowl From Alabama or Georgia

The Super Bowl is almost always the most bet on single-day sporting event in the United States, and Alabama and Georgia are no exception, with the Atlanta Falcons and huge football followings in both states. Super Bowl LXI will be played on February 14th, 2027 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

On this page we look back at Super Bowl LX, explain the sports betting laws in Alabama and Georgia and the options residents have, and walk through how the most popular Super Bowl bets work.

Super Bowl LX Recap

The Seattle Seahawks finished first in the NFC, used their first-round bye and home field advantage to win two playoff games, and then beat the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX on February 8th, 2026 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. It was the second Super Bowl title in Seahawks history. Seattle’s defense sacked Drake Maye six times and forced three turnovers, and running back Kenneth Walker III was named Super Bowl MVP.

Sports Betting in Alabama and Georgia

Sports betting is not legal in either state, online or in person. In Alabama, a 2024 gambling package cleared the House before the Senate stripped out sports betting, and the most recent effort stalled in early 2026. In Georgia, a constitutional amendment fell well short in the House in March 2026, drawing only 63 of the 120 votes required. Any change in either state is unlikely before 2027.

Where Can Alabama and Georgia Residents Bet On The Super Bowl?

Neighboring states. Licensed online sportsbooks operate in Tennessee and North Carolina, Florida has the Hard Rock Bet app, and Mississippi offers in-person betting at its casinos. You must be physically located in that state to place a bet, and be 21 or older.
Prediction markets. Platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket offer contracts on the Super Bowl under federal CFTC oversight, though their legal status is being challenged in several states.
Offshore sportsbooks. Offshore sites licensed outside the United States accept residents of both states, but they aren’t licensed or regulated by any US state, so there is no state regulator to turn to if there is a dispute over a bet or a withdrawal.

How Super Bowl Bets Work

Here were the odds for the three most common Super Bowl LX bets the day before the game, and how each one settled (odds taken February 7th, 2026):

Spread

The Seahawks were 4.5 point favorites, so a bet on Seattle -4.5 needed them to win by 5 or more. A bet on the Patriots +4.5 would win if New England won outright or lost by 4 or fewer. Seattle won by 16, so the Seahawks covered.

Money Line

The money line is simply a bet on which team wins the game outright. The Seahawks were -235, so you would have to risk $235 to win $100 betting on Seattle. The Patriots were +195 underdogs, so a $100 bet on New England would have won $195.

Total Points

The over/under was set at 45.5, so over bets needed 46 or more combined points and under bets needed 45 or fewer. The 29-13 final added up to 42 points, so the under won.

Notice that the odds changed slightly between the day before the game (-235 and +195) and Super Bowl Sunday (-240 and +200). Lines move as money comes in, so the price you get depends on when you bet. See our Super Bowl betting page for more on Super Bowl bets and props.
