It’s Championship Sunday, so I thought that I’d look at multiple prop bets for these games and let you all know of a couple that I’m on.

Prop Bet #1: Over 4.5 Sacks (-130) $130 to win $100
Rodgers lack of mobility + the Seahawks pass rush could get us there alone, but I do believe that Green Bay’s defense is tired of listening to how good Seattle’s unit is and will get a couple of sacks on Wilson as well. The first meeting in Week 1 finished with 4 sacks, but with Seattle looking to keep the heat on Rodgers for the full 60 minutes and not let that calf strain loosen up, this bet should hit.
Prop Bet #2: Jordy Nelson Over 5.5 pass receptions (-125) $125 to win $100
Nelson was targeted 14 times in the Week 1 game and hauled in nine of those throws. He was shutdown for the most part by Dallas (two catches on five targets) but if Green Bay is going to pull off the upset here Nelson needs to be a big part of this offense. Rodgers has shown in recent weeks that the other receivers like Adams and TE Rodgers can be called upon when necessary, so Seattle won’t load up on Nelson like other opponents have. Nelson’s ability to catch those short routes to keep drives alive here and Green Bay likely trailing for the majority of the game will help put this one ‘over.’
Prop Bet #3: Total points scored by K Steven Hauschka Over 8 (-105) $105 to win $100
Obviously the easiest way to get here would be three FG’s by the Seattle kicker, but as long as Seattle finishes in the mid-to-high 20’s in this one we should be fine. Green Bay will tighten things up in the red zone on defense because they know they’ve got to limit Seattle to FG tries and not TD’s to have a chance and Hauschka is a very accurate kicker. Since I’m already on the ‘under’ for this game, I do expect to see multiple FG tries from both teams and I have more faith in the kicker who’s at home to be more successful.
