2013-14 Super Bowl Prop Picks
February 2nd, 2014 by | Posted in General Handicapping Comments Off on 2013-14 Super Bowl Prop PicksGood value for a guy that stepped up bigtime in the NFC Championship. A Stanford graduate that’s smart and with Denver’s leaky secondary could be in for a big game. Baldwin is also a factor when it comes to special teams.Knowshon Moreno 20:1
At these odds why not? Moreno will be playing in the Super Bowl near his hometown in New Jersey. With Seattle’s superior secondary, one might think that Marino could be an integral part of the Denver game plan. Should Denver win, I think Moreno will be a big part of it.
Total Passing Yards – Russell Wilson
OVER 209.5 (-130)
Total Completions – Russell Wilson
Over 16.5 (-130)
I truly think the stage won’t be too big for Wilson. With his ability to extend the play, the Seattle receivers will be open. You would have to think that Denver’s defense will be focused on Marshawn Lynch, which could mean that Seattle’s offense could be relying on Wilson’s arm.
Total Rushing Attempts in the game
Marshawn Lynch
OVER 21.5 (-115)
Will Marshawn Lynch score a TD in the first half? YES +135
Lynch had 28 carries in the divisional round, and 22 in the NFC Championship. I think Lynch will get quite a considerable amount of carries on Sunday. Also at +135, I’ll take my chances on him reaching the endzone in the 1st half.
Total Tackles and Assists – Bobby Wagner OVER 10 (-125)
I really like this prop bet. I think Wagner will be a major factor in the game, and I also think Denver will be running the ball a lot. With the Seattle defense in man coverage, don’t be surprised to see Peyton change the play at the line and give it to Moreno or Ball.
Will Earl Thomas record an interception? YES (+250)
Will Richard Sherman record an interception? YES (+200)
Yes, I think Peyton will record an interception in this game. This will be the best secondary he’s faced this year. At these odds, I think it presents some value.
In my opinion, Turbin is one of the better backup running backs in the league. You just never hear about him because he’s A. Lynch’s backup, and B. He’s in a smaller market. Turbin is very capable of breaking off a big run or two.Total Interceptions – Peyton Manning
1 (+150)
2 (+350)
As stated above, I think Manning will throw an interceptions. The weather could also be a factor. In my opinion, I think the pressure he’ll face from the defensive front will eventually make him force throws, which could very well result in a turnover.Total Receptions – Demaryius Thomas
UNDER 5 (+120)
Thomas will be matched up with the best corner in the game in Richard Sherman. Manning has plenty more options on offense, and I don’t see him throwing to Sherman’s area often.
Total Receptions – Wes Welker
Over 5.5 (-130)
I think Welker could be the most viable option in the passing game. I think he could very well surpass this total.
SPECIALS
Will it snow during the game?
YES (+200)
Why not at these odds? How many times has a meteorologist blown the forecast?
YES (+250)
Ok folks, I’ll be perfectly honest with you, I was looking for this prop right when they came out. There’s no such thing as a lock in this business, but this is a damn good bet!!! This guy cries during the regular season anthems!!!
How many times will Archie Manning be shown on TV during the game?
OVER 1 (-160)
How many times will Eli be shown on TV during the game?
OVER 1.5 (-140)
Ok, Peyton is playing in Eli’s backyard…all the Manning’s will be sitting together. They’ll be shown quite a bit I’m sure. Let the Manning lovefest begin.
