Four-time All-Pro WR Antonio Brown played in just one NFL game in the 2019 season and missed the first half of the 2020 campaign due to a myriad of off-field issues. He’s now set to play in his first Super Bowl since his 2010 rookie season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Below, we look at Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Antonio Brown’s Super Bowl prop bets with NFL picks and predictions.

Buccaneers’ first touchdown: +700
I followed similar reasoning when backing Bucs TE Rob Gronkowski in this prop as well. Brown is one of the Buccaneers’ most-experienced players in the postseason. Brady could lean on that intangible if the Bucs get into scoring position early in the game and some other players are dealing with big-game jitters.

Brown to score and Buccaneers to lose: +290
Along those same lines, who will Brady be looking for late in the game if the Bucs are down by a couple of scores and need some big, quick gains? Brown’s longest catch of the season was a 46-yarder, and he averaged a quality 10.7 yards per reception. Additionally, he caught 45 of his 62 targets and has a 65.9% catch rate for his career.
The sure-handed receiver will be an option late in the game if the Bucs need to work the ball down the sidelines or take a shot at the end zone from outside the Chiefs’ 20-yard line.

Receiving yards: UNDER 43.5 yards (-115)
Brown had at least 44 receiving yards in six of his 10 games this season, including one of two playoff contests. He missed the NFC Championship against the Green Bay Packers due to a knee injury and could still be hindered in Super Bowl 55.
The Bucs are likely to try leaning on the run game early on, and that’ll limit the looks Brown and the other receivers get on the first couple of drives.
