Super Bowl Best Bets and Props

Drake Maye Over 33.5 Rushing Yards (-114)

At times this postseason -- especially in the AFC Championship Game -- the Pats' best offense has been Drake Maye scrambling. I think he can have a big day on the ground against Seattle.

Through three playoff games, Maye has rushing outputs of 66 and 65 yards sandwiched around a 10-yard day. While Maye averaged only 26.5 rushing yards per game in the regular season, he's clearly running more in the postseason.

It's also a big deal that New England is a 4.5-point 'dog. For his career, Maye has run more in losses (34.6) than wins (24.8). He lost just three games this season, but he racked up 45 and 43 rushing yards in his two most recent defeats.

Maye has big-play ability with his legs -- including runs of 16 and 28 yards a week ago -- and I think he'll use his legs often versus an elite Seattle defense.

George Holani Over 7.5 Receiving Yards (-122)

George Holani had a pretty meaningful role in the NFC Championship Game, and I like him to record at least eight receiving yards versus New England.

With Zach Charbonnet out injured, Seattle needed some RB depth behind Kenneth Walker III. Holani filled that role.

Holani was activated off IR ahead of the NFC title clash -- his first time being active since Week 11 -- and ended up playing 34% of the snaps. Cam Akers handled only one snap, so Holani was the clear RB2 for the 'Hawks.

Although Holani carried the ball only three times, he was busy in passing situations and hauled in three of four targets for 27 yards.

Maybe it's fool's gold to put too much stock into just one game, but if Holani's Super Bowl role is similar to his role from the NFC Championship Game, he should have a good chance to clear 7.5 receiving yards.
