Betting Experts Weigh In On Super Bowl Props: A Guide To Winning Big
As the big day approaches, sports enthusiasts and seasoned bettors alike are scrambling to place their wagers on a multitude of prop bets that will determine the ultimate winner. For those who may be new to the world of professional football betting, these proposition bets can seem daunting, but don't worry - our experts have got you covered.
First up is Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson, who is expected to go over 20.5 receiving yards in Super Bowl LX. According to Alexandra White, a top handicapper at Circa Sports, this prop has the potential to be a real winner, especially considering the Seahawks' weakness in defending against running backs catching the ball.
Meanwhile, on the opposing side of the field, Seahawks tailback Kenneth Walker III is looking like a solid bet to go under 22 receiving yards. At -116, this bet looks like it's worth taking a shot at.
In another intriguing matchup, Packers linebacker Micah Parsons is backing Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez to mirror Seahawks receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. This one may seem like a long shot, but with the Patriots looking to finally find their true number one receiver, it's an underdog bet that could pay off big time.
One team recording three consecutive scores is another prop that's caught the attention of experts. According to Alexandra White, this has happened in four out of the past six Super Bowls and should be worth a punt at -165.
For those looking for more MVP action, both Alexandra White and our own expert have placed bets on Seahawks receiver Cooper Kupp, who snagged the award last year with the Rams. If the Patriots overplay Smith-Njigba, Kupp might find an opening to make his mark again.
Meanwhile, at DraftKings, Tommy Lorenzo is going against the grain by favoring under 1.5 yards for the game's shortest touchdown. At -135, this bet looks like it's worth a shot, especially considering how often one-yard TDs have become more common in recent years.
In a bold move, Dealing with early deadlines, Matt Youmans bet on the Patriots getting five points and also likes Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold over 29.5 throws. "I think the underdog is live in this game," he said.
Another expert who's confident about the game starting slow is Sam Panayotovich, who favors under 8.5 first-quarter points at -110. The math says it out: In the past 11 Super Bowls, there has been an average of 6.6 first-quarter points, which makes this a solid bet.
Chuck Edel, meanwhile, believes Seattle's pass defense will hold Maye to fewer than 221 yards and is betting on him at -130. "He has played against some bad defenses this season," he said. "When he has gone up against top defenses, his passing yards have been less than 200 yards, for the most part."
Finally, handicapper Tom Barton likes both teams' defenses but is going with Caesars -220 price on Seahawks running back Kenneth Henderson to run for more yardage than Patriots' running back Rhamondre Darnold. "Henderson has failed to run for at least 24 yards in only four games this season," he noted.
For those looking to hedge their bets, our experts recommend going against the grain with most props and waiting till closer to game time to place your bets. As Bill Krackomberger put it: "The sportsbooks know this... Yes is actually the value."

. I mean, those sportsbooks are like masters of manipulation – they're always trying to get you to bet on the popular picks. But at the end of the day, it's all about finding that underdog angle and taking a shot 
. I've got my eye on Kenneth Walker III going under 22 receiving yards, that seems like an easy call to me 
. And I'm also loving the value on Cooper Kupp being the MVP – if the Patriots overplay Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Kupp's gonna shine 
.
! I was looking at the Seahawks receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba vs Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez prop, and I'm not sure why Micah Parsons thinks he's going to mirror him? The Patriots have a new WR and I think they'll try to get him more involved in the game. I'd take the other side on that one 
.

.
anyway i think its crazy how some of these bets seem like a no-brainer, like rhamondre stevenson going over 20.5 yards is def a solid pick 
that's the kinda bet i'd wanna put some money on 
And who cares if Micah Parsons is backing Christian Gonzalez to mirror Jaxon Smith-Njigba? It's not like it's going to make a huge difference in the game. Just go with your gut and pick your favorite team, you know what I mean? 
I think we should see a lot of underdog plays go through, especially with teams like the Seahawks and Patriots looking to pull off upsets. The prop bets are always so much fun, but I agree that it's best to wait till closer to game time to place your wagers. Don't get caught sleeping on the early deadlines! 
. I'm not saying my friend is an expert or anything, but... actually, that's exactly what I'm saying 
. So if you're feeling cautious, maybe waiting till closer to game time might be your best bet 
.
also what's with all these prop bets? Can't we just focus on who's gonna win the game already? 
!
. With all the teams looking to make a statement, you never know when one of 'em might break out with three straight scores 
. For those who want to hedge their bets, taking the value at Circa Sports' +100 on Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson going over 20.5 receiving yards is a solid play 
.
! I mean, Patriots finally got their number one receiver and Parsons knows what's up 
. And can u believe Seahawks' pass defense will hold Maye to fewer than 221 yards? 
Chuck Edel is a GENIUS 
. Can't we just enjoy the game and not worry about who's gonna score more yards? 
betting on props can be so much fun but i gotta agree with alexandra white and others saying that rhamondre stevenson's prop to go over 20.5 receiving yards is a solid pick 
the seahawks really struggle against rb catching the ball. plus, christian Gonzalez backing Jaxon Smith-Njigba mirroring seems like an underdog bet that could pay off big time!
