In addition to the traditional sides, total and moneyline bets, The Super Bowl always features outrageous and ridiculous prop bets – by far more than any other professional sporting event on the calendar. With so many sportsbooks opening up recently, there certainly are plenty of options. So here are our 3 Best Prop Bets for Super Bowl 56
Cam Akers under 64.5 rushing yards
Guess how many games Akers has rushed for over 64.5 yards this season? None. Cam’s highest was 55 rushing yards against the Cardinals back in the wildcard round. Not sure why the books are convinced he will eclipse 64.5 rushing yards in the biggest game of the year? I also believe he is not 100% healthy from his Achilles injury. Sony Michel and the recently activated Darrell Henderson are sure to be involved in the run game as well, further cutting into Akers carries.
Tee Higgins over 5.5 receptions
All eyes are on the LSU connection of Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase, and rightfully so. The former college teammates have connected 81 times on 155 targets this season. However, Higgins has still managed to haul in 78 receptions over 13 games this season, an average of 6 receptions per game. Furthermore, Higgins has had at least six receptions in two of the three playoff games.
Samaje Perine over 1.5 receptions
Joe Mixon is the clear lead back in Cincinnati; no question about it. Backup Samaje Perine has hauled in 31 receptions this season, four in the playoffs, with 3 of those coming in the AFC Championship against the Kansas City Chiefs. Look for the Rams to pressure Burrow and Perine to be a lucky recipient of check downs as Burrow looks to get rid of the ball quickly.
In full disclosure, I am on Cincinnati +175. I believe the odds are stacked against the Bengals, but this team has fight, grit, and the youthfulness to play free and open. We’ve seen it all season; they never give up and find ways to fight back when trailing. I would not be surprised to see Burrow with the ball on the last drive and Evan McPherson nail another clutch FG to secure the win.
