The Carolina Panthers’ Jonathan Stewart and Greg Olsen, and the Denver Broncos’ Demaryius Thomas are the ones to closely watch in Super Bowl 50 rushing/receiving props at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com
Both the favored Panthers and the Broncos allowed fewer than 100 rushing yards in each of their playoff wins while advancing to Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara for Sunday’s game. There is a +120 prop on Stewart to finish as the game’s leading rusher. Denver’s C.J. Anderson has a +135 prop, while there is a +500 prop on Panthers QB Cam Newton, +700 on Denver RB Ronnie Hillman, and +3300 on Panthers FB Mike Tolbert.
Olsen and Thomas are co-favorites for the game high in receiving yards at +300, with Broncos speedster Emmanuel Sanders a close third favorite at +325. There are Olsen props that pay for scoring a touchdown in a Panthers win (+150), catching at least nine passes (+900), gaining 100 yards (+450) and having two TDs (+400). Sanders, though, has the best odds for a 100-yard game at +250, while there is a +300 prop on Thomas gaining 100.
The over/unders on Jonathan Stewart’s rush attempts and yards are 17.5 and 67.5, as well as 15.5 for his longest rush. Anderson’s over/unders are 13.5 and 62.5, with 17.5 for his longest rush. Hillman’s over/under for his final totals are 10.5 and 35.5.
Olsen is projected to be Carolina’s busiest receiver at Super Bowl 50, with an over/under of 5.5 catches. The over/under on yardage for Panthers receivers includes Olsen’s 67.5, Ginn’s 42.5 and Corey Brown’s 39.5. There is a +275 prop on Ginn, who is drop-prone, scoring a TD in a Panthers win. Ginn has the highest longest reception over/under of any Carolina receiver at 24.5, with Olsen at 22.5.
The over/under for catches and yards for both Broncos wideouts, Thomas and Sanders, are 5.5 and 67.5. Sanders, who might be less likely to be covered by Carolina CB Josh Norman, has the game’s highest longest reception over/under at 25.5. There are also +500 props on Sanders scoring a TD to help underdog Denver win and Sanders having at least two TDs in the game.
Tight end Owen Daniels has a total over/under of 29.5. There is a +400 prop on Daniels having 50-plus yards. The over/under on team rushing totals is 125.5 for Carolina and 97.5 for Denver. The Panthers have tallied 100-plus rushing yards in 31 consecutive games.
