Super Bowl LIV means many opportunities for wagering, including any number of Super Bowl prop bets. Here we analyze the odds for San Francisco 49ers WR Emmanuel Sanders on how many receptions and receiving yards he will have in the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Here is what the Over/Under is set at for both catches and receiving yards for the big game from BetMGM sportsbook:
- Over 3.5 receptions +125
- Under 3.5 receptions -154
- Over 45.5 receiving yards -112
- Under 45.5 receiving yards -112
Looking at Sanders’ numbers since joining the 49ers midseason, the best bets are pretty easy.
Sanders by the numbers
Consider the following: Sanders has not had more than three reception in his last five games and has only surpassed three catches in four of 12 games with the 49ers. He has two combined receptions in the postseason, as TE George Kittle (4 receptions, 35 yards in postseason) has become the primary target in the passing game, followed by rookie WR Deebo Samuel (5 receptions, 88 yards). And it’s worth noting, the 49ers have not had to rely on the passing game in the playoffs with their running game clicking at an elite level.

Likewise, he has not had more than 45 receiving yards in any of his last three games, including the 49ers’ two postseason contests. He has had more than 45 receiving yards in only three of his 12 games with San Francisco.
Obviously, he can become an important target, but if past performance is the best predictor of future performance, then the smartest money on these two player props is to take UNDER 3.5 receptions (-154) and UNDER 45.5 receiving yards (-112).
For every $10 wagered on the Under for receptions, you gain $6.49 in profit Sanders has 3 or less receptions. The profit is $8.93 for the Under on receiving yards with 45 or less receiving yards.
