THE SUPER BOWL
Jay’s Plays on the props
Here we’re going to take a look at some props on the Super Bowl. The lines come from BetUS.com and are, of course, subject to change.
Total Pass Attempts
——————————-
ELI MANNING
Over 34.5 passes -125
Under 34.5 passes -115
– I’m looking for an “under” here, as I feel the Giants will look to run the ball and have some success in doing it. Manning did throw 40 passes against Green Bay, but he had the all for 40 minutes. I couldn’t be that optimistic it will be the same case here. JAY’S PLAY: UNDER 34.5 **
Receiving yards by Randy Moss
————————————————-
1st Half - Under 47 yards -120
1st Half - Over 47 yards -120
2nd Half - Under 47 yards -120
2nd Half - Over 47 yards -120
– I like the “under” in both halves because I’m inclined to believe that the Giants coaching staff realizes the same thing I do - that shutting Moss down, with double teams and other tactics, has been a key to keeping games close. JAY’S PLAY: UNDER 47 IN BOTH 1ST HALF AND 2ND HALF **
Total Receiving Yards
———————————-
JABAR GAFFNEY
Over 30.5 yards -110
Under 30.5 yards -130
– I’m looking for Gaffney to emerge as one of the “go-to” guys for Tom Brady if Moss, who caught only one pass in each of the playoff games, becomes the focus of the secondary. And his 351 yards over his last six games would project to 936 over a 16-game season. JAY’S PLAY: OVER 30.5 YARDS ***
Longest Reception by Wes Welker
——————————————————-
Longest reception - Over 20.5 yards -120
Longest reception - Under 20.5 yards -120
– We think of Welker as a “dink and dunk” guy, and that is sometimes the case. But he’ll get plenty of attention from Brady, and let’s not forget that this guy is fast enough to have run back punts and kickoffs with a great deal of success in Miami. Do not confuse him with Fred Biletnikoff. JAY’S PLAY: OVER 20.5 YARDS **
Receiver vs. Receiver
——————————–
MOST RECEIVING YARDS
Plaxico Burress +20.5 yds. -140
Randy Moss -20.5 yds. +100
– I think Burress wins this one straight-up, without the handicap. I know the New England defense will be gunning for him, but Burress had better play well, if he’s going to make pre-game predictions as he did (20-17, Giants). JAY’S PLAY: BURRESS ***
