BetSided’s Top Prop Bets for the Super Bowl
The BetSided crew is ready for Super Bowl 56 between the Rams and the Bengals. On Tuesday, the team went through their best prop bets for the game.
Both quarterbacks are on the list and even an under play made the cut. Let's dive into what everyone had to say.
Joe Mixon UNDER 63.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
"I'm not overthinking it. It's pretty simple. The Rams have one of the best run defenses in the NFL -- fourth in opponent yards per carry (3.9). The most anyone has gained on the ground against the Rams so far in these playoffs was Leonard Fournette, who gained 51 against them in the divisional round. ...I think (the Bengals) will throw the ball and rely on Joe Burrow, so I'll take the UNDER. -- Iain MacMillan
Odell Beckham Jr. OVER 5.0 Receptions (-120)
"Odell has cleared this line in the last two games and he's gotten better and better this entire playoff run. He's gotten more targets and more catches each and every week, and he's coming off his best game as a Ram. ...He's going to be the security blanket for Matthew Stafford." -- Donnavan Smoot
Matthew Stafford OVER 4.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
"Matt Stafford isn't known for his legs. In the regular season, Stafford had 32 carries. In three playoff games, he has 15.
In the Bengals' playoff run, they've allowed plenty of rushing yards. I think Stafford can get over 4.5 yards. It's a really really low number which makes me like it." -- Peter Dewey
Tyler Boyd OVER 4.0 Receptions (+100)
"Burrow's going to have to throw the ball and I'm talking quick throws. Who's his favorite underneath route? Tyler Boyd. ...I think Boyd is going to be the guy I zone in on for the Bengals' passing game. Burrow against zone -- which is the Rams' primary defense -- is up 7% (on his) completion percentage.
The game plan is going to be to get the ball out of Burrow's hands quickly (and) find Boyd, Higgins and Chase." -- Reed Wallach
Joe Burrow OVER 11.5 Rushing Yards (-125)
Burrow has found something in his ability to run. ... He has the wheels in his toolbox. He just hadn't done it throughout the early portion of the season because he didn't trust his recovery. That was a big talking point entering the season.
Because I have the Rams winning this game and Burrow likely running for his life, he's going to have to take off." -- Ben Heisler
