2026 Super Bowl Odds: Seahawks Favored Over Patriots​

Updated Feb. 3, 2026 8:42 p.m. ET

Super Bowl LX will take place at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California — home of the San Francisco 49ers — on Feb. 8, 2026.

Super Bowl LX odds​

Spread: Seahawks -4.5
Moneyline: Seahawks -238, Patriots +195

The Patriots were Super-Bowl favorites for just a few hours.
After New England defeated the Broncos in Denver in the AFC Championship Game, it jumped to the top of the odds board, at +155. However, it was short-lived, with Seattle now favored to win it all after its narrow victory over the Rams in the NFC title game.

Bad Bunny's "illegal" halftime show needs investigation: Republicans

Julianna Bragg


House Republicans are calling on the Federal Communications Commission to investigate Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime performance, suggesting the content and lyrics of the Puerto Rican star's show were "illegal."

The big picture: Many of the explicit lyrics cited by Bad Bunny critics are literal translations of his songs but were not actually performed during the February 8 halftime show.

What they're saying: Rep. Randy Fine on Monday announced that he and other Republicans would send a letter to the FCC calling for "fines and broadcast license reviews" against the NFL, NBC and Bad Bunny.
  • "Had he said these lyrics -- and all of the other disgusting and pornographic filth in English on live TV, the broadcast would have been pulled down and the fines would have been enormous," Fine said on X.
Reality check: Bad Bunny did sing a portion of the song "Safarea," which describes sexual acts — though the suggestive words were bleeped during the broadcast.
  • The performance also included a brief homage to Daddy Yankee's "Gasolina." While the chorus is a euphemism, none of the lyrics sang were explicitly sexual.
  • Bad Bunny did not once say the "f-word" during the performance, contrary to Fine's suggestion.
Rep. Andy Ogles on Monday also sent a letter to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce seeking a formal inquiry into the NFL and NBCUniversal for their "prior knowledge, review, and approval of explicit and indecent content," during the show.
  • Ogles claimed that "children were forced to endure" sexual dancing and lyrics that "openly glorified" certain sexual activities.
Zoom in: While Bad Bunny is known for sexually explicit lyrics, supporters emphasized the cultural depth and symbolism woven throughout the performance.
  • Bad Bunny performed "NUERVAYoL," an homage to El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico's 1975 salsa classic "Un Verano en Nueva York," which tells the story of Puerto Ricans' summer visits to Spanish Harlem and Brooklyn.
  • Special guest Ricky Martin performed an acoustic version of Bad Bunny's "Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii" ("What Happened to Hawaii"), which addresses protecting Puerto Rican culture from over-tourism.
  • The show also featured a real-life wedding, and a moment in which Bad Bunny handed his historic, recently won Grammy to a young boy — symbolizing opportunity and legacy for the next generation.
Flashback: It's not the first time viewers have objected to the sexual nature of a Super Bowl halftime show — though Republicans are now pushing for regulatory scrutiny.
  • After Rihanna's halftime performance in 2023, the FCC received 103 formal complaints, many criticizing what they described as sexualized lyrics and inappropriate choreography.

Mark Carney reminds Trump that Canada paid for key border bridge US president says he won’t open​

Trump earlier had ranted against bridge and also warned that China would ‘terminate’ hockey in Canada

Mark Carney said he had held a “positive” conversation with Donald Trump after the US leader threatened to block a new key bridge between their two countries, reminding the president that Canada paid for the structure – and that the US shares ownership.
Late on Monday, Trump posted a lengthy message on social media, falsely claiming that the $4.6bn Gordie Howe International Bridge between Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan, had “virtually no US content”. The bridge is due to open in early 2026.

In his post, Trump had also claimed that Canada owns both ends of the bridge and made a bizarre assertion that increased trade between Canada and China would include a ban on Canadians playing ice hockey.
 
While we're talking about the bridge it's worth noting that the existing bridge isn't exactly in good shape but it's apparently owned by a single individual. Opening the new bridge would cut his revenues in half.
 
"Re #35
Both Canada and the US can control exactly who and what goes across the existing bridge - it's called customs and immigration." #38

- ok -
It is 2026.
Right?
And while U.S. President Trump has advocated acquiring U.S. sovereign control of Greenland, & Canada,
have we missed something here?
Re #34
"The fact that Canada will control what crosses the Gordie Howe Bridge and owns the land on both sides is unacceptable to the president" #35
"Canada owns the land on both sides" ?!

Oh Donald ! I thought you said "America First".
First to become Canadian?!
