There are literally thousands of bets you could take for the Super Bowl, so odds are you're taking the wrong ones.

0:04.9

But in this video, we're going to break down the five bets that I've already taken and I believe you should take before the Super Bowl kicks off. And let's start with the Seahawks veteran, 32-year-old wide receiver Cooper Cup first year with the team because there is a prop right now in the market for Cooper Cup of 19.5 receiving yards. Now this is an alternative line.

0:20.8

His actual line is like in the 30s, 32 and a half.

0:23.5

But the thing about betting this one down to 19 and a half and taking the over that's really interesting for me is, well, he's over this in 16 out of 18 games this year. And his role has actually been increasing in the postseason and the most important games, your veteran wide receiver, who you kind of limited his role throughout the year to keep him fresh for this moment. Yeah, it's paying off. Because as you can see right here, he's ran 80% of the routes in the postseason, easily second on the team. And more importantly, though, he's been averaging a 22% target share in the postseason. Way higher than his regular season target share. That comes out to about five and a half targets per game, which is about 25% more usage than Cooper Cups saw during the regular season. He's been activated in the postseason. But maybe most important of all is he's not going to have to face this guy. Christian Gonzalez, the former first round pick, the Patriots standout young cornerback, just 23 years old entering the prime of his career. He is probably one of the five best cornerbacks, if not better, in the entire NFL. And he's definitely the best cornerback in this game. Odds are, he's going to be on Jackson Smith and Jigba for most of this contest. As you can see right here, Christian Gonzalez has currently played the second most coverage snaps in the postseason. He has a very good grade, according to PFF, in the postseason right now, really only been beat once by Marvin Mims in that game against the Denver Broncos. So what you're looking at is a game where Cooper Cup is not going to have a lot of competition. He's going to get to go out there. And as you've seen the past two weeks, he's had four catches in both contests. He's had 36 and 60 yards in the postseason game so far so the fact that you can take him right now in an alternative line of 19 and a half yards feels really good we're going to take him for more than 19 and a half yards that is the first pick in an entry that we're going to be a five-legged entry and uh we can go through now with our second pick which is going to be on the opposite side of this game, another veteran wide receiver. And that veteran wide receiver's name is Stefan Diggs. And similar to Cooper Cup for Stefan Diggs, there's an alternative line right now in the market set at 24 and a half receiving yards. So 24 and a half receiving yards, in my opinion, is very hard to ignore, especially when you consider that not only has Diggs topped this in 80% of his games this year, despite coming off of the torn ACL and being a 33-year-old veteran receiver, right? All this are 32 years old. But the Patriots are actually underdogs in this game. They opened as 4.5 point underdogs. They still, as of this recording, remain 4.5 under, 4.5. Underdogs, which is important because Diggs and the patriots have been underdogs six times this season and in those contests digs averages seven targets

2:38.8

per game and more importantly 68 and a half so call it 69 receiving yards per game as an underdog

2:44.1

why is this the case well drake may throw significantly more nearly 20% more passes per game

2:48.7

when the patriots are underdogs and yeah his most targeted receiver is probably going to get more volume and yardage when that happens. Now, that's already good, but to make matters even better, the matchup for Diggs, he's taking on a Seahawks team that plays the fifth most zone coverage this season. 77% of the time, their secondary is playing zone coverage, which is very important because Diggs is one of the best zone coverage wide receivers in his entire career, especially this season where he ranks 11th overall and in similar matchups. He averages over 50 receiving yards per game. So we're going to add Stefan Diggs for more than 24 and a half receiving yards as our second pick in this five-legged entry. Now for the third pick, let's get a little bit spicy with this one. Let's talk about George Halani. Some of you tuning into this might not know who George Halani is at all. Maybe you saw him in the last game. He had a catch or two. This is the new backup running back for the Seattle Seahawks since Zach Charbonnet is done for the year with the tour in ACL. It goes number one, clear shot with the bullet. The workhorse is Kenneth Walker. But then George Hawani is who they trusted most in the AFC championship game. Checked at the NFC championship game, but he currently has a receiving yards prop set at 11 and a half receiving yards. It opened at 8 and a half. It's now been bet up to 11 and a half. You could take some alternative lines if you wanted to at 4.5, but I like the prop where it stays right now at 11.5 receiving yards. Now, as I was saying,

3:58.0

there's not going to be any of the running backs that likely see usage behind Kenneth Walker and George Halani. You have Cam Acres who played like a couple of snaps, maybe one, two or three snaps in the NFC championship game, but the guy they actually trusted to get some usage behind Walker was George Halani, and he played a decent amount. As you can see right here in the NFC championship game, according to Fantasy Life,

4:15.4

Halani played 23 snaps compared to

4:17.5

Cam Makers who was George Halani, and he played a decent amount. As you can see right here in the NFC championship game,

4:14.3

according to Fantasy Life, Halani played 23 snaps compared to Cam Makers, who Fantasy Life has down for

4:19.6

just one snap in that game. More importantly, Halani in this game, ran 17 routes out of the backfield.

4:25.0

That led the team. He ran more routes than Kenneth Walker in this game. Camerakers only runs one

4:29.6

route. And what did that lead to for George Halani? Well, in the NFC championship game, the most important game to date for the Seattle Seahawks at that point, he caught three balls, 27 yards on four targets. So he was very involved as a receiver in that game. More importantly, the Seattle coaching staff trusted him. And he paid off with that with three catches. He moved the chains a couple of times. He looked good. So I'm expecting a similar role in the Super Bowl as George Halani being the passing down back. If the game stays neutral or the Seahawks trail at all, say they get down three early, seven-nought thing early on. I think George Halani is going to get some third down usage early and often. And the Patriots, it's a good matchup because they allow the fifth-most catches to opposing R RB's this year. 84 receptions, just one behind the Cowboys for the fourth most in the NFL. So let's now add our third pick here, George Halani for more than 11.5 and a half receiving yards, if it's at 8.5, 9, 10 and a half, even better at your book. So that's going to be our third play, and before we get into the fourth play there's one thing that i do want to bring up that you
