Fitz has been unstoppable in the playoffs and is very popular in Super Bowl props
Believe it or not, I have more fun betting props on the Super Bowl than on the game itself because I love the action and the possibility of cashing multiple bets throughout. That is what makes the Super Bowl the single most exciting sports event of the year for me and why I put in some serious time following my 3 Golden Rules below...
1) SHOP around for the best line - this is really a no-brainer and can be the difference between betting a prop and not betting it at all. Your goal obviously is to beat the book every time you bet and take advantage of what you believe to be a bad line. Most props are set up for something NOT to happen, so getting the most bang for your buck is the most important rule of all. Make sure to check what every book is offering on props you are considering before putting your money down. Also, definitely consider signing up for a new book if you're not getting good lines because there's nothing worse than knowing you could have gotten 20/1 instead of 12/1 when your prop cashes.
2) STUDY postseason trends - you have always heard that the best players step up in the playoffs, and I really believe that. For example, Arizona WR Larry Fitzgerald has already broken Jerry Rice's postseason record for receiving yardage and has emerged as arguably the best in the game right now. I bet him to score the first touchdown in the NFC championship game at 6/1 after looking at the fact that he had scored the first TD against the Falcons in the Wild Card round and realizing how big of an impact he has continued to have with teammate Anquan Boldin hurting. Injuries are a huge factor in the playoffs and something to consider in the Super Bowl with Pittsburgh WR Hines Ward dealing with a sprained knee. Who steps up for the Steelers if Ward is just a decoy and unable to produce like he did when he was the MVP of Super Bowl XL?
3) BET realistic props with value - the player to score the first TD is somewhat of a sucker bet, and I could be the biggest sucker of all when it comes to betting it. I look to bet on one player for each team because you never know who will get the opening kickoff and have the better chance to hit paydirt first. However, in the Super Bowl you will have additional opportunities to wager on whether or not you think a player will simply score a TD or not. When I was shopping props on Saturday here in Las Vegas, I saw that Fitzgerald was 5/1 to score the first TD, +110 to score a TD in the game, +310 to score two or more and +205 to score in the first half. I ultimately settled on betting that he would score in the first half since all five of his TDs in the playoffs have come before halftime. Of course I'm not saying you shouldn't throw $10 on a safety happening at 9/1 odds, but don't go crazy with those types of bets. My main objective with props is to still make a profit on a game even if my big bet loses. Getting carried away won't accomplish that goal, but hitting a longshot like that could get your money back.
