The Cincinnati Bengals will be in their first Super Bowl since 1989. A huge reason they’re in this position is because of rookie wide WR Ja’Marr Chase.
The No. 5 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Chase had more than 200 receiving yards twice in the regular season, quickly rekindling a relationship with his collegiate quarterback at LSU in Joe Burrow.
Chase had two 100-yard receiving performances in the Bengals’ three postseason victories. He comes into this Super Bowl as Cincinnati’s No. 1 offensive threat.
Below, we look at Ja’Marr Chase’s Super Bowl prop bets with NFL picks and predictions.
Ja’Marr Chase 2022 Super Bowl prop bets
Odds via Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Wednesday at 8:44 a.m. ET.
Receptions: Under 5.5 (+120)
The Bengals have five elite threats that can act as receivers. Against a formidable Rams defense, they’re going to need all the help they can get.
Considering the Rams could also opt to have Chase shadowed by All-Pro CB Jalen Ramsey, Chase’s opportunities could be limited. The Rams ranked 14th in opponents’ passing completion percentage this season.
The rookie wideout has topped 5.5 receptions 8 times this season, playoffs included. That means he’s gone under it 12 times.
Given the odds here, the value is in the UNDER.

Receiving yards: Over 80.5 (-114)
Cincinnati has been able to move the ball this postseason through the air, and Chase has been a focal point of the team’s offense. Chase went over 100 yards twice in the last 3 games.
Given that Chase is averaging 18.0 yards per catch, it’s entirely possible that he goes Under 6 receptions and Over 80 yards. In fact, he’s done that 3 times this season.
More convincing for this play, Chase averaged 85.6 receiving yards a game.

Odell Beckham Jr. vs. Ja’Marr Chase: Who will have more receiving yards? Chase (-130)
My favorite Chase-centric prop is that he’ll have a longer reception than Rams WR Odell Beckham Jr. (+110).
In the last 6 games, Beckham had just 2 games in which he’s had a reception of over 20 yards. Chase, in that same timeframe, had a reception for over 20 yards in all 6 games.
Chase is the premier deep threat for Cincinnati and will likely draw at least a few deep bombs during the Super Bowl.
