Morning Coffee: Kicking off Super Bowl week with a player prop to consider

There are hundreds of ways to bet on the Super Bowl.

As the countdown to Super Bowl 56 continues this week, I am going to give out one recommendation each day to get ready for the big game.

Despite some notable injuries that ruined a couple of player prop recommendations – Tyler Higbee and C.J. Uzomah both went down in the first half of their conference championship games last week – I’ll enter the Super Bowl with a 45-38 record in these playoffs.

The Los Angeles Rams remain a 4.5-point favourite versus the Cincinnati Bengals, with the total set at 48.5.

Unless something dramatic happens between now and kick-off, those are the numbers we will likely see on game day.

On Friday, I made the case for Samaje Perine to go over 1.5 receptions at -110.

This morning, I’ll lock in another player prop that I think has the potential to cash on Sunday.

Here’s the TSN EDGE Morning Coffee for Monday, Feb. 7, 2022.

A Super Bowl player prop to consider

Matthew Stafford has averaged 351.5 passing yards in back-to-back wins over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers.

The Rams weren’t able to run the football effectively in either of those games, as they averaged 2.5 and 2.4 yards per carry against Tampa Bay and San Francisco.

Head coach Sean McVay isn’t going to completely abandon the run, but the passing game is the strength of the L.A. offence. Stafford has averaged 29.5 pass completions in their last two wins.

It’s no secret that Cooper Kupp will be the No. 1 priority for the Cincinnati defence, the same way that Tyreek Hill was when they faced the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.

The Bengals defence employed multiple looks in the second half of that win over the Chiefs, implementing both man and zone
