Why Tampa Bay Will Win The Super Bowl

The defense has taken things to another level at just the right time.

It was terrific throughout the season and outstanding against the run throughout, but with the pressure on down the stretch, the D has improved, it continues to be a takeaway machine, and it was able to stuff New Orleans and Green Bay on the road to get the first ever home Super Bowl.

Don’t blow off how important it is that this is in Tampa Bay. Not only is this Super Bowl without all meaningless overblown hoo-ha of normal, but the teams are taking very different paths.

Kansas City is preparing at home – almost like it’s a regular road game – while the Buccaneers are practicing in their normal surroundings, they’re staying in their own beds, and in a year when the home field advantage crowd-wise doesn’t really matter, they’re able to truly make this like it’s a pumped up Sunday night Week 11 game.

On the field, Kansas City isn’t going to run much against the No. 1 run defense in the NFL, it’s not going to get its normal passing game going against one of the best teams in the league at preventing the big play, and then there’s that guy on the other side.

Don’t just assume the Tampa Bay offense is going to move because Tom Brady is in a Super Bowl, but it’s not a bad thing. He threw two picks in the first meeting against the two, but he also threw three interceptions in the NFC Championship win over Green Bay. The team was able to overcome the mistakes because of, again …

The defense.

This is where having two weeks off should help. In the first game – a 27-24 KC win, by the way – it was the end of a 12-game run before the Bucs got their bye week. The team was leaking oil with two losses in a row before getting the time off, and it hasn’t lost since.

Kansas City was a week removed from its bye.

But about that Tampa Bay defense …

We did this already.

Kansas City beat Tampa Bay 27-24 in Week 12 when Tyreek Hill went wacky with 13 catches for 269 yards and three scores. The Chiefs held a 27-10 lead before Tom Brady hit Mike Evans for two scores in the fourth quarter to make it interesting, but it was too little too late.

It was wild, both star quarterbacks threw for a bazillion yards, and …

Can we have that again?

Without doing any research or giving it any real thought, here’s the knee-jerk thoughts and prediction for your Super Bowl LV. The actual line is added after the thing is written and predicted.

As always, this can and will change over the next two weeks when our game preview comes out, but until then …

Always go with your first answer.

2021 NFL Playoffs: Super Bowl LV

5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs 1 Kansas City Chiefs

Sunday, February 7th
CBS 6:30
Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, FL

Knee-Jerk Instant Analysis: Maybe you watched the fabulous HBO documentary on Tiger Woods, and you surely saw the phenomenal series ‘The Last Dance’ on Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls.

As amazing as they were, they were so, so bittersweet – who didn’t want to go back in time and relive the greatness at an all-time level?

Here you go. You’re getting Tom Brady in his tenth Super Bowl.

Best of all, this isn’t like Peyton Manning taking home Super Bowl 50 in a last gasp, along for the ride sort of way. This is Brady still playing as well as any quarterback in the NFL, even if he’s off just a wee bit.

Here you go. You’re getting Patrick Mahomes in his second Super Bowl, and almost certainly not his last.

There obviously weren’t any issues against Buffalo after the concussion suffered against Cleveland, and the toe problem didn’t slow him down a bit, but getting two weeks off to rest up isn’t going to hurt.

Getting two weeks off to rest up isn’t going to be a bad thing for the 43-year-old guy, either.

The home field side of this for Tampa Bay doesn’t make a difference. It’s the Super Bowl – it’s not going to feel like anything like normal for the Buccaneers.

What will make a difference, though, is the Tampa Bay pass rush that managed to harass Aaron Rodgers for a full 60 minutes, and a run defense that’s the best in the NFL.

Watch out for a reverse of the first meeting in styles.

Kansas City wasn’t able to run all that well, and Mahomes was protected, but the offense still held on to the ball for almost 37 minutes to go along with the tremendous day from Hill and the passing game.

Brady threw a few picks, and the offense couldn’t move the chains, but this time around, it’s going to be pound, pound, pound as the Bucs go against type and try controlling the clock and the tempo.

Of course it’s all going to be about Brady vs. Mahomes, but Leonard Fournette will be every bit as important. Tampa Bay was able to get away with Green Bay having the ball for almost ten minutes longer in the NFC Championship, but in this, expect the Bucs to try doing everything possible to grind this down to a stop early – that’s where Fournette comes in.

And then the Kansas City defense will step up.

– 2021 Mock Draft from the college perspective: January Version

The two weeks off will allow the two coaching staffs time to figure out how to take out the opposing main men. That will last for a while for the Bucs, but eventually the dam will break, Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill will start to get going in the third quarter, and Mahomes will find his groove.

Brady will be fantastic right up until a key interception early in the fourth quarter turns the game completely around. Boom, boom, boom – three plays later, Kansas City gets into the end zone and takes control of the game.

It’ll be fascinating. It’ll be history. It’ll be the greats going at it before the documentaries come out.

Enjoy this.

2020 Super Bowl prop bets: How many catches, receiving yards will 49ers WR Emmanuel Sanders have?

We analyze the player prop bet for 49ers WR Emmanuel Sanders and how many catches and receiving yards he will have in Super Bowl LIV.

[jwplayer hDNWPlIL]

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.

Special sports betting line for the big game

Bet $1, WIN $200 (in free bets) if either team scores a touchdown during the big game February 2, 2020. Regardless of the outcome, you win with a touchdown! Bet now.

New customer offer; visit BetMGM for terms and conditions.

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.

2020 Super Bowl prop bet: How many receiving yards will Sammy Watkins have?

The Super Bowl prop bet on WR Sammy Watkins is just at 48.5 yards; will he hit the Over against the San Francisco 49ers?

[jwplayer hDNWPlIL]

The San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up to square off in Super Bowl LIV, which kicks off from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens Sunday night. It’s a matchup between two of the best offenses in the NFL this season, though they get the job done in different ways.

The Chiefs feature a pass-heavy attack with quarterback Patrick Mahomes, while the 49ers lean on their running game and use quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo as a complement.

Super Bowl prop bets are aplenty each year, and one of the most intriguing is Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins’ receiving yardage line. BetMGM sportsbook has set the Over/Under at 48.5 yards receiving, which is right on par with his 2019 average of 48.1 yards per game.

Sammy Watkins’ Super Bowl LIV prop bet: Receiving yards: 48.5

The line is the same on both side of the total, set at -112 for both Over and Under 48.5 yards. Watkins is the No. 2 wide receiver for the Chiefs, but he’s the third option in the passing game – behind wide receiver Tyreek Hill and tight end Travis Kelce.

Watkins’ last seven games have been a mixed bag, which does nothing to help project how many yards he’ll rack up during the Super Bowl. In those games, he’s totaled 19 receptions for 325 yards with one touchdown. It’s an underwhelming stat line, to say the least, but he’s been more productive in the postseason than he was toward the end of the regular season.

In his two playoff games, he caught two passes for 76 yards against the Houston Texans, and seven passes for 114 yards against the Tennessee Titans. That’s good for a total of 190 yards on nine receptions. With the way he’s been playing the last two weeks, making big plays in the passing game, I’m inclined to take the OVER (-112) on this line.

Special sports betting line for the big game

Bet $1, WIN $200 (in free bets) if either team scores a touchdown during the big game February 2, 2020. Regardless of the outcome, you win with a touchdown! Bet now.

New customer offer; visit BetMGM for terms and conditions.

For the most part, the opportunities have been there for Watkins. He’s been targeted at least five times in 10 games this season, but only twice did he go over 100 yards receiving. You may remember he started the 2019 season with a nine-catch, 198-yard and three-touchdown performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars – that was also the last time he found the end zone on a reception.  In nine games, he had at least 49 yards, including both postseason games.

The issue with Watkins is his boom-or-bust tendency. He had four catches for at least 30 yards this season, but 24 of his 52 receptions went for fewer than 10 yards. He averaged a career-low 12.9 yards per catch this season and only 7.5 yards per target – down from 9.4 in 2018.

What works in Watkins’ favor is the fact that the Chiefs lean heavily on their passing attack. Mahomes has thrown 35 passes in each of his last two games, completing 23 passes in each. He’s not afraid to take chances, either, so expect him to take at least a few shots downfield to Hill, Watkins and rookie Mecole Hardman. With Hill and Kelce commanding a lot of a defense’s attention, it helps Watkins/Hardman break free at times in single coverage.

It could only take one or two catches for Watkins to go over 48 yards, so I’m going with the OVER (-112) and so should you.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Over profits $8.93 if Watkins catches at least 49 yards worth of passes during the Super Bowl.

2020 Super Bowl prop bets: George Kittle vs. Travis Kelce

Battle of the tight ends goes down in the 2020 Super Bowl; will Travis Kelce or George Kittle have more receiving yards?

[jwplayer hDNWPlIL]

Sunday’s Super Bowl contest between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Fransico 49ers will not only feature the two best teams in the NFL, but the 2020 Super Bowl will also display the two top tight ends in the league going head to head. And, as you probably guessed it, there’s a Super Bowl prop bet for that!

But which tight end, George Kittle or Travis Kelce, will have the bigger receiving day, and who should you bet on? I’ll break down what you need to know about this fun Super Bowl prop bet:.

Over/under for George Kittle’s receiving yards: 70.5

Photo Credit: Stan Szeto – USA TODAY Sports

Arguably the league’s best all-around tight end in 2019, Kittle’s receiving yardage total for this game is set at 70.5 at BetMGM sportsbook. Considering Kittle averaged just over 75 receiving yards per game this season, there is some potential value here on betting the Over (-125). If this game turns into a back-and-forth shootout, it’s not hard to envision Kittle smashing the over.

However, there is certainly a chance that the 49ers try to shorten the game and use their elite rushing attack to move the ball on offense. Kansas City had one of the league’s worst rush defenses this season, and you can expect that the 49ers will try to exploit that hole Sunday. It’s also worth noting that Kittle has totaled just 35 receiving yards combined in his last two postseason games and isn’t 100 percent healthy (shoulder).

While this seems like an easy bet on the Over, consider taking the UNDER (100/EVEN) on receiving yards for Kittle as the Chiefs will look to take away the 49ers’ top weapon.

Special sports betting line for the big game

Bet $1, WIN $200 (in free bets) if either team scores a touchdown during the big game February 2, 2020. Regardless of the outcome, you win with a touchdown! Bet now.

New customer offer; visit BetMGM for terms and conditions.

Over/under for Travis Kelce’s receiving yards: 76.5

While Kittle might be the league’s best overall tight end, there is no debating that Kelce is the best pass-catching tight end in the NFL. Kelce has gone over 1,000 receiving yards in four-straight seasons as he is the Chiefs’ most consistent receiver.

But, unlike the 49ers, the Chiefs rely more on Kelce to carry their offense from game to game. They just don’t have the same run game to lean on. Instead, they will put the ball into their star quarterback’s hands and ask him to win games.

If Kansas City is going to win this game, they will need to have success moving the ball via the air. Look for Patrick Mahomes to target Kelce early and often in this contest against the 49ers’ young linebackers. I like the OVER (-112) to hit on receiving yards for Kelce versus San Franciso.

Super Bowl Prop: Who will have more receiving yards, Kelce or Kittle?

Another Super Bowl LIV prop bet available regarding these two tight ends is which one will have more receiving yards?

Kelce (-125) is the favorite over Kittle (100), as he is just a bigger part of the Chiefs’ offense. While Kittle might be the better deep-threat, Kelce is just likely to see more targets and haul in more receptions. And when you consider that Kelce is the far more consistent receiver, take him to beat out Kittle in receiving yards Sunday. Take KELCE (-125).

2020 Super Bowl prop betting strategy and favorite prop bets

Looking at a Super Bowl prop-betting strategy to maximize enjoyment — and potential profit — along with some favorite props in the 2020 Super Bowl

[jwplayer hDNWPlIL]

2020 Super Bowl prop bets allow us to get creative and turn the game into a four-hour cross between a slot and pinball machine: Hits, misses, swings of momentum and a ton of fun!

Super Bowl Prop Betting Strategy

When I lay out Super Bowl LIV prop plays, I want to set up action that will come due at different parts of the game, from first-this and first-that to final results and final stats, with quarterly and halftime stops along the way.

BetMGM sportsbook set up its props in match (game) or player categories. So, we’ll mix and match those and build a chronological menu of my favorite 2020 Super Bowl prop bet recommended plays, with varying degrees of risk/reward.

Favorite Super Bowl Prop Bets

Let’s start at the beginning. Or, because we can – let’s start before the beginning:

Super Bowl Prop Bet: Coin flip

Heads and tails are both at -104. (I’ll save you the research: Tails leads the all-time series, 28-25.)

Super Bowl Prop Bet: First play of the game

Then let’s go to the first play of the game — Run or Pass.

I’m telling whoever will listen that first play — pass at +125 is my value play of the game.

I want to spread out the plays and not have my action be first-quarter heavy, so I’ll skip some other early firsts and go with the:

Super Bowl Prop Bet: Time elapsed before first score

The eight-minute mark is the line of demarcation, and its an even-money prop. Then I’ll add is some potential 2-to-1, 3-to-1, 5-to-1 type action with…

Super Bowl Prop Bet: Defining what team and what score

Touchdown, field goal or safety are in play for each team, and here are BetMGM‘s odds:

  • 49ers field goal +375
  • Chiefs field goal +330
  • 49ers safety +5000
  • Chiefs safety +5500
  • 49ers touchdown +200
  • Chiefs touchdown +190

That brings in a bigger risk/reward factor after a few more level props.

First-half distribution

For some late first-quarter and second-quarter action, we can bring the FIRST QUARTER TOTAL and LAST-2 MINUTES/FIRST HALF TD props into play.

Let’s also include a couple player events that are hittable early:

  • Jimmy Garoppolo O/U on longest pass of 35.5 yards and
  • Garoppolo interception (Yes!)

are a fun combo that will have you rooting for downfield efforts caught by, well, anyone.

Let’s include a…

Super Bowl Prop Bet: Halftime total

First half totals:

  • 24.5 points: Over -134 / Under +110
  • 25.5 points: Over -129 / Under +105
  • 26.5 points: Over -115 / Under -106
  • 27.5 points: Over +105 / Under -129
  • 28.5 points: Over +120 / Under -154

Second-half Super Bowl Prop Betting

For third- and fourth-quarter activity, I like player O/U yardage totals (ex. GAROPPOLO — 200 PASSING YARDS, DAMIEN WILLIAMS – 100 RUSHING YARDS) more so than TDs. Those start to approach win/loss status in the second half. Pick two or three.

Supplement those with a couple longshots in the PLAYER TOUCHDOWN department. So, you might cash +116 on Tyreek Hill’s sixth catch and +260 on a Sammy Watkins touchdown grab: again, mixing and maxing when we expect events to hit and different price points.

Let’s close out our props with a few endgame, final-results driven plays. A big yard-count prop fits here…

Super Bowl Prop Bet: Mahomes passing yards

Patrick Mahomes passing O/U 350.5 yards pays at +240 for the Over and -204 on the Under, which is a fun one that you could be sweating out until the very last play of the game.

And wrap it all up with perhaps two or three win-by-x-points plays on the team side. Those will be big risk/reward plays to keep us looking forward the whole night.

Good luck!
