Sportsbook.com’s Top 10 Most Popular Prop Bets for Super Bowl XLII:
1. Heads (-105), Tails (-105) – Yup, the most popular prop bet is literally in the hands of the official. This bet is basically a Super Bowl tradition to gamblers as they love to be ahead of the game before kickoff.
2. Giants- Total Points Scored- Over 21 (-125), Under 21 (-105) – The early bettors are not only pounding the Giants (+12) but they are also backing numerous Giants related props. The G-Men are averaging over 28 points per game over their last five games. Additionally, the Patriots surrendered 35 points to the Giants during their Week 17 thriller.
3. Total Sacks by Both Teams- Over 4 (-140), Under 4 (+110) – Considering the Giants and Patriots ranked first and second in the NFL in quarterback captures with 53 and 47 respectively, it isn’t surprising that bettors are pounding the OVER. Don’t ignore the fact that both teams protect their QB’s as the Patriots allowed only 21 sacks while the Giants allowed just 28.
4. Plaxico Burress Receptions- Over 4.5 (-145), Under 4.5 (+115) – Even though he is coming off an 11 catch effort it appears as if the UNDER has some decent value. Including the playoffs, Burress averaged 4.52 catches per game for the 2007 season. However, he surpassed 4.5 receptions in only 8 of the 19 games (42%).
5. Tom Brady Passing Yards- Over 300.5 (-120), Under 300.5 (-110) – Including the playoffs, Brady averaged 293.2 passing yards per game this season and threw for over 300.5 yards in 8 of his 18 games (44.4%). Meanwhile, the Giants ranked eleventh in the NFL is pass defense (207.3) and allowed only three 300+ passers all year.
6. Laurence Maroney Total Rushing Yards- Over 85.5 (-115), Under 85.5 (-115) – The Giants are very solid against the run ranking 8th in the league, surrendering just 97.7 rushing yards per game. Maroney is peaking at the perfect time for the Pats though. He has rushed for over 100 yards in four of the last five games. However, the one game he failed to reach 100 yards was against the Giants late last month (46 yards).
7. Brandon Jacobs Rushing Yards- Over 62.5 (-115), Under 62.5 (-115) – When healthy, Jacobs has been very effective this year. In the 14 games he played this season, he rushed for over 62.5 yards 10 times including 67 yards against the Patriots last month.
8. Ahmad Bradshaw Total Receiving Yards- Over 10.5 (-115), Under 10.5 (-115) – Bradshaw is somewhat of a wildcard considering he emerged as a key player just within the last month or so. Considering his speed, the Giants will definitely try to utilize Bradshaw as much as possible. That being said, the last time he had over 10.5 receiving yards in a game was Week 2.
9. Tom Brady Completions- Over 25.5 (-115), Under 25.5 (-115) – No doubt, Brady put up ridiculous numbers this season but he threw for 26 completions or more in just 38.8% of his games including the playoffs. However, one of the seven games he surpassed 25.5 completions was last month versus the Giants when he completed 32 passes.
10. Randy Moss Total Receiving Yards- Over 90.5 (-115), Under 90.5 (-115) – The Over would have been a “lock” during the first half of the season when Moss was putting up insane numbers on a weekly basis. In his last eight games, Moss has been held below this number six times as teams seem to be keying on him. In his two playoff games, he has just 32 yards combined. Moss has waited a long time to get to this game so one would think Brady will do everything he can to get him involved early and often.
