prop III

Las Vegas - Another day, another Super Bowl prop. Looking at the Over/Under total for combined pass attempts for both teams. The total is 73.5 and we're gonna roll with the Over. Looked at the three playoff games for each team, and just one of those went Under. In the Wild Card Round, Matthew Stafford only attempted 17 passes, while Joe Burrow threw it 34 times. Total 51. In the Divisional Round, Stafford put it up 38 times against Tampa, while Joe Burrow tossed it 37 times against Tennessee. Total 75. In the Conference Championships, Stafford aired it out 45 times against San Francisco, while Burrow chucked it 38 times against Kaycee. Total 83. Once Cincy realizes that running on the Rams defense is gonna be problematic, expecting Joe BRRR to start hitting short slants and screens and coil that right arm around 39 times. Not expecting Stafford to drop back and rip 45 times again, but 38 sounds about right. So my number of total attempts is 77, and that's OVER baabbbeee!!!

Dribbling down to the SEC tonight and looking at Arkansas around +3 points over Auburn. The Razorbacks have been on quite a tear, winning EIGHT games in a row. Why is that streak important? Arkansas' head coach Eric Musselman knows how to bring his team down the stretch. Last season, the Hogs ripped off a 9-0 streak before heading into March Madness. We know that Bruce Pearl's Tigers are very, very, VERY good, and should win, but not by more than three points.
