Super Bowl Betting: Willie Parker Props

Injuries limited Steelers tailback Willie Parker to just 11 games, 791 yards, and five touchdowns during the regular season, but Parker now appears healthy and has led the charge with Pittsburgh’s revamped running attack in the playoffs. Parker has racked up 193 yards and two touchdowns through Pittsburgh’s first two playoff games. He absolutely lit up the Chargers and while he was slowed by Baltimore’s ferocious run defense, he is expected to be a big part of the Pittsburgh game play on Super Bowl Sunday. In this article, break down the Willie Parker Super Bowl prop bets as seen as Sportsbook.com.

Total Rushing Yards: Over 83.5 (-115)/Under 83.5 (-115)

While his regular season numbers support taking the under here, Parker is now healthy and the Steelers offensive line is finally healthy and working as a unit as well. The Steelers are going to have to run the ball effectively to win this game and that falls on the shoulders of Parker and the offensive line. Pitt would love to grind this one, controlling the ball and the clock to keep Arizona’s offense off the field. It may take a lot of carries to get there, but I like Parker to make it over the number. Bet Willie Parker Over 83.5 rushing yards in Super Bowl XLIII.

Longest Rush from Scrimmage: Over 16.5 (-105)/Under 16.5 (-125)
While most of Parker’s work is going to be done three to five yards at a time, Parker’s speed is very much underrated, and I like him to break one for 20 yards in this game. He figures to get plenty of rushing attempts and the Cards aren’t going to be able to hold him down all game. Bet Willie Parker longest run from scrimmage over 16.5 yards in Super Bowl XLIII.

Total Rushing Attempts: Over 20.5 (-145)/Under 20.5 (+115)
I think I’ve already given myself away here and this is one of my favorite bets of the Willie Parker set. Parker has racked up 51 totes through two playoff games and even carried 24 times against the Baltimore Ravens when nothing was doing. Pitt has shown a willingness to run the football and we will look to capitalize on it. Bet Willie Parker over 20.5 carries in Super Bowl XLIII.

Will He Score a Touchdown: Yes (-115)/No (-115)
The Steelers love to run the football in the red zone to eliminate the risk of throwing costly interceptions. That means Parker figures to get plenty of touches near the goal line. He stuck it in twice against the Chargers, and while he did not score against the Ravens, Arizona has not been nearly as strong against the run as Baltimore. Bet Willie Parker to score a touchdown in Super Bowl XLIII.

Total Rushing Yards on First Attempt: Over 3.5 (Even) Under 3.5 (-130)
This is my weakest lean of the Willie Parker set but I’m going with the under. Pitt likes to open games with a heavy dose of runs and Arizona will be ready for that. We will likely cash this bet on the first play of the game but probably only by a half yard. Bet Willie Parker Under 3.5 yards on first attempt in Super Bowl XLIII.
