Super Bowl XLIX

Super Bowl Props

Player to record first Seahawks reception in the game:

Marshawn Lynch 11/2 

This is one of the safer props on the board! The Seahawks rarely go downfield and Darrell  Bevell's terrible play calling usually calls for a dumb screen or HB route that won't go anywhere to get Wilson started.

Player to record the first interception in the game:

Byron Maxwell 14/1

B-Max has been great this year and a lot of people have not noticed. When Richard Sherman is on the other side of the field, you're going to be targeted a lot, but Maxwell has handled the pressure well. If the Hawks put Simon or Lane on the outside, B-Max will have the Pats' slot receiver locked down.

Super Bowl MVP

Bobby Wagner 50/1

Last year saw Malcolm Smith win the MVP and if the Seahawks can dominate defensively AGAIN this year, Wagner will be the beneficiary. Wagz will be shadowing Gronk most of the game while laying the wood on "Smokin" Blounts. If Wagner has 12 tackles, a forced fumble and a pick 6 (realistic) he'll easily win MVP.

Player to score the first TD in the game 

Jermaine Kearse 16/1
Tom Brady 25/1

Kearse has been a big time target for Wilson this year (unfortunately for Seahawk fans) and this is a good value bet if you have an extra $5 or $10 spot laying around. Brady is an awesome bet. At one point he was 97% on QB sneaks! If they get down to the 1, they will not be tentative like the Packers.

The First Score of the Game will Be?

—Seattle Safety (33/1)

Are you betting on the SUPER BOWL or are you betting on the super bowl? That’s the only question that matters.  Don’t be the guy, sitting on his cousin’s friend’s couch, wishing he had put some cash money on the first points being the safety for seattle line.  Who’s going to dominate this game? AMERICA is, that’s who. “Let’s win this one for New England, America, and the Patriots.” - Belly’s most probably pre game speech.

Will Marshawn Lynch Grab His Crotch After Scoring a TD? 

— YES (+220)

MARSHAWN “I don’t care who you are” Lynch! Grabbing dicks all over the place.  Do you really think Lynch won conduct the “hold muh dick” celly if he breaks loose for a TD?! 

NHL Playoff Picks and Props

Minnesota @ Chicago (-1.5; +135)

I think Chicago is going to roll through the Wild with ease this series. I think the Avalanche were over hyped and as a result Minnesota appeared better than they actually are. Chicago shit kicked them with no issue last game and I expect tonight to be the same. 

New York @ Pittsburgh (-170)

Pittsburgh will come out hard looking to even the series tonight. I expect them to come away with a win. 

Props

Minnesota @ Chicago

Chicago's going to bury the Wild.

- OVER 30.5

Just do it. 

NCAA Prop Bets

Tonight is the men's national championship game between the fab five freshmen of Kentucky and the Uconn Huskies led by Shabazzketsbiscuitskemba Napier. After looking at the spread of this game I decided that I like these two teams too much to pick an outright winner so instead I figured I would throw some prop bets out there!

Under 14.5 points for Aaron Harrison (Kentucky, -120)
Before the season started I was really excited for this Kentucky team and specifically the Harrison twins. Then the games started and not only did these two look confused, lost and highly overrated, but at times they didn't even look like college level players. Then the tournament started and all of sudden Aaron was driving at will and knocking down NBA range threes with a hand in his face. So why am I picking him to go under 14.5 points tonight? Because I really like the veteran backcourt of Napier and Boatright to pressure the hell out of him and force someone else on Kentucky to beat them. Look for Aaron to have a decent game possibly even hitting another game winning three, but for his point total to stay under 14.5

Over 15.5 points for Julius Randle (Kentucky, -130)
Going off of my last thought, for Kentucky they are going to need a big game from their post players, and there are few posts that do it better in college right now than Randle. Look for him to dominate the undersized Huskies down low getting to the free throw line at least 8-10 times and scoring at least 20 points.

Under 13 points for James Young (Kentucky, -120) and under 1.5 3pt's made (-105)
Another casualty of the backcourt defense of Uconn. Young is probably the only player on Kentucky who hasn't redeemed himself this postseason for the Catz. I sold my stock on him earlier this season and do not plan on buying anymore anytime soon. Look for the awkward lefty "scorer" to struggle, not even hitting the double digit mark as we double up on his lack of scoringtonight!

Over 18 points for Shabazz Napier (UCONN, -130) and over 2.5 3pt's made (-140)
Shabazz is the reason the Huskies are playing tonight and has done well for me all season long. I'm expecting nothing less from Shabuckets tonightas he continues his hot tournament play dropping at least 20-25 against the Harrison twins.

Will Aaron Harrison make his first shot attempt: No (Kentucky, -160)
This is going off what was said earlier, I think the freshmen starts out a little nervous and never settles in to a groove.

Bonus Pick
Under 136 as a combined total! (-115)
This is a culmination of everything I have said above. I think this game will be sloppy and no rhythms will be established until late in the second half. Look for a 65-60 type finish.i
