One of the great props unveiled for the Super Bowl is the chance to bet on
how one of the SB players fares in a cross-sport competition against a player
who is competing in another sport on Super Bowl Sunday. There are a handful of
these for Super Bowl XLVI between New England and the New York Giants on
Bovada’s NFL football odds.
It's all on the line. Get your Super Bowl XLVI odds and
props at Bovada.
Let’s start with Giants QB Eli
Manning against Miami Heat star LeBron James. The Heat
host the Toronto Raptors on SB Sunday, one of the NBA’s worst teams. The prop on
this is Manning’s completions total vs. James’ points, with LeBron the -150
favorite. James is second in the NBA in scoring at 29.5 ppg behind Kobe
Bryant. LeBron hasn’t faced the Raptors this year and should have a big
day against a terrible Toronto defense. Last year in three games vs. Toronto,
James averaged 28.0 ppg. Manning, meanwhile, averaged 22.4 completions during
the regular season (20 in the November meeting with New England) and 25.3 in
three playoff games.
Another prop involving LeBron is his assists
against the number of receptions for Patriots WR Wes Welker, with both at -115.
James is averaging 7.0 assists per game this season. He averaged 8.3 in three
games with Toronto in 2010-11. Welker led the NFL this season with 122 catches,
which is about 7.6 per game. He had nine in the regular-season meeting with the
Giants. Welker has had six catches in each of New England’s two playoff games.
There’s also a prop on the number of touchdown passes by Patriots QB
Tom Brady vs. the number of 3-pointers made by Boston’s
Ray Allen in Sunday’s home game vs. Memphis. Brady was fourth
in the NFL this season with 39 TD passes (2.4 per game) and had two in the
regular-season game with the Giants. Brady had six TD passes in the playoff
opening win over Denver but none in the AFC title game vs. Baltimore. Allen is
the NBA’s all-time 3-point leader. This year he is averaging 2.7 3-pointers made
per game on an incredible 57 percent shooting from long range. Allen’s Celtics
haven’t faced Memphis yet this year.
