Americans Not As Interested In Super Bowl This Year

A new LendingTree survey finds:

• Super Bowl spending is expected to be down 19% this year.
• The average American will spend $88 on Super Bowl Sunday, down from $108 last year.
• And some people aren’t even interested in the game, with 28% saying they won’t even be watching, up from 21% last year. 

Some of that money being spent will be used to bet on the game.

• The things folks will bet on include: 
  • The overall winner (18%)
  • The final score (9%)
  • The outcome of the coin toss (4%)
  • The length of the National Anthem (3%)
  • Parlay bet (3%)
