Found some SB prop bets online and thought it would be fun to take a look at some and make some predictions here. The list I found is here, and here are some I'm interested in:
Team to score first in the game
Carolina Panthers -150 (2/3)
Denver Broncos +120 (6/5)
I suspect everyone and their brother likes Carolina here but the -150 is not good value. Unless it came down to -125ish I'd stay away.
Total Team Points - Carolina Panthers
Over/Under 24½
I like the over here.
Total Team Points - Carolina Panthers - First Half
Over/Under 11½
I love the over here. Carolina averages over 17pts in the 1st half this season, and you figure they're going to come out firing.
Longest touchdown yardage in the game
Over/Under 44½
This is a staple bet for me - love going over, because when it hits (and it often does) it's hard to beat.
Will either backup QB take a snap in the game?
Yes +200 (2/1)
No -300 (1/3)
Seems like a good year to go yes on this with creaky, somewhat ineffective Manning on the field. Worth a look...
Will a special teams or defensive TD be scored?
Yes +150 (3/2)
No -180 (5/9)
Another staple bet. I still remember Manning's pick-six vs New Orleans - hit over on longest TD AND defensive score on same play. Good times, and I bet Manning has another SB pick-six in his bag left.
Margin of Victory
Panthers by 19-24 points 9/1
I like this as you get 20, 21 and 24 pt margins in here.
Will Peyton Manning throw a Pick 6 in the game?
Yes +300 (3/1)
No -500 (1/5)
'Yes' giving decent odds here...
Total Rushing Yards - Ted Ginn Jr. (CAR)
Over/Under 5½
I think the under is worth a bet as Denvers D seems pretty disciplined and may not be fooled by a reverse.
Cross Sport Props - What will be higher?
Tiger Woods 1st Round score at 2016 Masters
Emmanuel Sanders Receiving Yards
No idea but found it interesting. Gun to head I'd go with Sanders.
