On today’s Straight Outta Vegas, RJ gives you his fourth Best Bet of the week for prop bets in the Super Bowl this coming Sunday. Today’s bet is focused on Bengals QB Joe Burrow’s running game. RJ believes you can get great odds betting the over on Burrow’s rush attempts, while also betting the under on his rush yards!
RJ Bell: “This is a rare 2 combo bet: I want to bet Burrow’s rush attempts at over 2.5 and the under on his rushing yards at 11.5. Now this is diametrically opposed, but I think we have a much better chance at winning both of these bets, rather than losing them both. How likely is it that he rushes the ball 3 or 4 times, but has less than 11.5 yards? I think that’s a lot more likely, compared to him rushing it once or twice, and being over 11.5. That’s why we’re betting both. The reason being, Burrow only averaged 7.8 yards a game, so he just started becoming a threat on the ground recently.”
