Key Discussion Points and Insights
1. Setting the Tone: Super Bowl & Props Hype
- Opening Banter: The crew jokes about the Puppy Bowl and reflects on previous Super Bowls, especially Seahawks vs. Patriots (02:07).
- YouTube Street Interviews: Joey P. notes Seahawks fans are still haunted by the infamous Marshawn Lynch goal-line play from over a decade ago (02:37).
- Main Focus: This final football episode of the season zeroes in on player props, with expert bets from both Andrew and the Welsh.
2. Top Player Prop Bets
a. Welsh’s First Pick: Cooper Kupp, Over 4 Receptions (+120/+130)
- Rationale:
- Patriots secondary is strong but doesn’t shadow WR1s frequently.
- Cooper Kupp’s usage has increased in the playoffs (11 targets in both games, hitting 4+ receptions both times).
- Expectation that the Patriots will try to limit JSN (Jaxon Smith-Njigba), opening room for Kupp on shorter routes.
- Quote:
- “This is going to be a great spot for Cooper Kupp to lock in a couple receptions. So give me plus money for four Cooper Kupp receptions as my first bet.” (03:34)
b. Erickson’s First Pick: Ken Walker, Under 73.5 Rushing Yards
- Rationale:
- Patriots’ healthy run defense is elite—no recent playoff RBs have come close to hitting 73.5 yards.
- Even without Zach Charbonnet, Walker trends under this number in similar spots.
- Patriots’ DL talent (Milton Williams, Spillane, Tunga, Barmore) makes running tough.
- Quote:
- “Nobody in the playoffs against the healthy Patriots run defense has come anywhere near close. 73 and a half rushing yards…so I am taking the under here.” (05:05)
c. Travion Henderson Props (Both Hosts)
-
Welsh: Over 2.5 Receiving Yards
- “Ridiculously low number…this is a one catch scenario…I love this one.” (06:40)
-
Erickson: Over 0.5 Receptions (also recommends alt yards at 30+ for 11:1 odds)
- Calls it “juicy” but notes Patriots’ frequent passing to RBs when underdogs (Henderson is 6-0 on this line as a dog).
- “He has three games of 30 receiving yards already this season and we know how explosive he is…so yeah, I like taking advantage of some of these really low numbers.” (10:17)
3. Niche and Novelty Props
a. Hunter Henry Props (Patriots TE)
-
Erickson: Over 3.5 Receptions
- Seahawks’ zone D gives up big games to TEs (allowed 63.5 yards/game).
- Henry previously posted 8/109/12 (recs/yards/targets) vs. this defense in 2024.
- “If he’s going to have a six catch game, he’s probably going to follow this type of script…” (15:36)
-
Welsh: Over 5 Rec. Yards in 1st Quarter (+125)
- Hunter Henry’s average depth and YPC means “one catch equals a win.”
- “I need one catch. I need five yards from Hunter Henry, plus 125. I absolutely love this one…” (17:21)
b. George Holani (Seahawks RB) Over 11.5 Receiving Yards
- Welsh:
- Holani steps in for Charbonnet; 4 targets, 3-27-0 receiving vs. Rams.
- “Heavily involved on passing downs…so I love 11.5 receiving yards for George Holani over.” (20:35)
c. Over 2.5 Players to Attempt a Pass
- Erickson:
- “Will someone beyond Drake Maye or Sam Darnold pass the ball?”
- Patriots & Seahawks have used trick plays this year; sees Philly Special vibes.
- “All the tricks are coming out…Cooper Kupp would be my bet if it’s not another QB.” (22:09–23:38)
d. AJ Barner (Seahawks TE) Over 0.5 Rushing Yards
- Welsh:
- Barner used as Wildcat QB for the “tush push” on short yardage.
- “He has had at least 2 yards rushing in three of his last four games.” (25:47)
e. Stefon Diggs, Under 18.5 MPH Fastest Speed (Next Gen Stats)
- Erickson:
- Diggs hasn’t topped this number all season.
- “We’re not going to know if he does this until very much after the game…I feel good about it.” (27:05)
4. Touchdown Calls & Long-Shot Bets
a. Joey P.’s Picks
- Kayshon Boutte (Patriots WR) Anytime TD (+320)
- “Big play guy…can find that big touchdown in this game.”
- Patriots Defense Anytime TD (+850)
- Predicts pick-six off Darnold under pressure.
- “This is very much in play considering Sam Darnold’s rates against pressure…” (29:34)
b. Welsh’s Picks
- Cooper Kupp Anytime TD (+250/260)
- Hunter Henry Anytime TD (+250)
- Jake Bobo (Seahawks WR) Anytime TD (+1100)
- “It’s a really, really tough secondary matchup. They like Bobo when they get into that red zone spot…” (30:34)
c. Erickson’s Picks
- Hunter Henry Anytime TD (+250) — agrees with Welsh
- “Ranks first among all non-RBs in red zone targets in this game.”
- Travion Henderson Anytime TD (+550)
- “Plus 550 for a player that ranks second in total touchdowns in this game…that’s too long for a player with his skill set.”
- First TD Longshot: Eric Saubert (Seahawks TE) (+8000)
- “He’s the blocking tight end…Seahawks go up seven nothing, there you go.” (33:36)
