Pierre Thomas Breaks Tackle for the Game-Winning TD

Super Bowl time is also a time of prop betting insanity. There’s a prop bet to cover every angle including a bunch of prop bets for your favorite players like Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Reggie Bush and Marquis Colston.

Super Bowl Quarterback Props

betED has a bunch of quarterback props like what will happen first? a touchdown pass or an interception.

As you can probably guess, both quarterbacks are heavily favored to throw a touchdown pass first with Brees at -240 and Manning at -300.

It’s probably not a bet worth taking at those odds because you have to risk a ton to win a little.

Another neat quarterback prop is the over/under on total passing yards. The total for Drew Brees is 284.5 yards while Peyton Manning is 308 yards.

I know the offenses are getting all of the Super Bowl hype, but the over seems very realistic for both players.

Super Bowl Wide Receiver Props

Who’s your favorite receiver?

After his performance in the division finals Pierre Garcon is getting a lot of love. He is the -160 favorite to score the first TD when matched up with Devery Henderson.

Not to take away from his performance against the Jets, but Manning is going to be able to hit his favorite targets against the New Orleans defense, so Garcon is probably not going to see the ball nearly as much as before.

The over/under on the longest pass reception for Marquis Colston is 22.5 and the over/under for total yards is 71.5 while Devery Henderson is 17.5 and 48.5 total yards.

There are a ridiculous number of props covering every player in the game. It’s over-done, but then I guess when you have two full weeks between the Divisional Finals and the Super Bowl, you can forgive the odds-makers for being as nutty as the fans and media.
