Following are more of PlayUSA.com's predictions for the NFL's Big Game:

• Nevada will continue to lead the way for legal sports betting, including online sports betting, with a handle of $160 million for the single game. The Silver State's handle will be followed by New Jersey ($100 million), Pennsylvania ($30 million), Mississippi ($17.5 million), West Virginia ($10 million), Delaware ($5 million), Rhode Island ($1 million), and New Mexico ($500,000).


• Nevada, which set a record last year by collecting $158.6 million in wagers for last year's game, will set another record this year. The Silver State's hold percentage and overall win for this year's game, which was just $1.17 million in 2018, should also improve.


• In all, more than 1 million Americans will place a legal bet on the game.


• The total number of legal online and retail sportsbooks in all states where one can place a wager on the Big Game will be 261.

"We're setting the line at a $100 million in legal bets in New Jersey and $325 million in total bets placed on the game at legal sportsbooks nationwide," said Dustin Gouker, lead sports betting analyst for PlayUSA.com. "The excitement of being able to legally place a bet for the first time in New Jersey, an intriguing matchup with two high-powered offenses and plenty of star power, and the proliferation of proposition bets, should all combine to make for an impressive total."
