Super Bowl Odds: Larry Fitzgerald Props

Written by Jimmy Boyd on January 29, 2009

super-bowl-props1Is there a better receiver in football right now than Larry Fitzgerald? We’ve certainly never seen anyone have the type of postseason he is having. Fitzgerald had 96 grabs for 1431 yards and 12 touchdowns during the regular season but his playoff numbers are really raising eyebrows. In three postseason games, he has 23 catches for 419 yards and five touchdowns. Sportsbook.com has listed Super Bowl props for Larry Fitzgerald and Jimmy Boyd breaks them down in this article.

Total Receiving Yards – Over 95.5 (-115)/Under 95.5 (-115)
I know Larry has been over this number in all three playoff games, but he averaged 89.44 yards per game during the regular season and Pitt is going to make him a priority. If they have to choose between him, Anquan Boldin, and Steve Breaston to beat them, I think you know who they will pick. Bet Larry Fitzgerald over 95.5 receiving yards in Super Bowl XLIII.

Longest Reception – Over 35.5 (-105)/Under 35.5 (-125)
While Pitt is going to try their best to limit Larry’s touches and to keep him in front, he is an exceptional talent and I see him getting loose for a big one in this game as he does in nearly every game. It is a major part of the Cards game plan to stretch the defense as much as possible so you know they’ll take their shots. Bet Larry Fitzgerald longest catch over 35.5 in Super Bowl XLIII.

Total Receptions – Over 6.5 (-120)/Under 6.5
This is actually one of the best prop bets I have seen as I think Pitt holds him to 5 catches. Odds makers are trying to use his big playoff production against the public in this game but we won’t bite. Bet Larry Fitzgerald Under 6.5 catches in Super Bowl XLIII.

Will he Score a Touchdown in the 1st Half – Yes +160/No -200
This one is a tough call but I have to go with the value here. I think Pitt’s defense will get better as the game goes on and it makes adjustments so Larry will have a better chance in the first half. Bet Larry Fitzgerald to score a first half TD in Super Bowl XLIII.

Will he Score 2 or more Touchdowns – Yes +270/No -350
I’m going to bite the bullet and lay the juice here as he is going to be a marked man. Larry is talented enough to get one despite the safety help over the top because of his size and leaping ability but two is pushing it. Bet Larry Fitzgerald “Not” to score 2 or more touchdowns in Super Bowl XLIII.

Will he Score a Touchdown – Yes -130/No even
I like the best receiver in this game to come down with 1 touchdown reception. He exploded for three against the Eagles (don’t see that happening here), but caught one in each of the first two playoff games. Bet Larry Fitzgerald to score a touchdown in Super Bowl XLIII.

Total Receiving Yards on First Reception – Over 12.5 (-115)/Under 12.5 (-115)
Larry averaged 14.9 yards a catch during the regular season and is up to 18.17 in the playoffs. Bet Larry Fitzgerald Over 12.5 yards on his first reception in Super Bowl XLIII.
