The most interesting prop is the 1.5-time number listed
for total rushing attempts by Peyton Manning on Sunday at Sun Life Stadium in
Miami. You might be inclined to take the under (-170), but there’s plenty of
value in the over (+130) when you consider the pressure New Orleans was able to
put on Brett Favre in its 31-28 overtime win over Minnesota (+4) in the NFC
Championship Game.
Manning may well get chased out of the pocket a few times and get
pressured into running.
The over/under for total Drew Brees’
pass attempts is at 36.5, with the value on the under (-110). The Saints have an underrated
running game, even though his team's strength is their running game.
Brees had 31 pass attempts against Minnesota, and had 32 against Arizona in the
NFC Divisional Round.
Saints tight-end Jeremy Shockey is priced at +140 to get more than 3.5 receptions
against Indianapolis. He has been dealing with a knee injury, so it will be
interesting to see if he is able to double his productivity over the playoffs
thus far.
Over on the Colts’ sideline, defensive end Dwight Freeney is also dealing
with an injury that could limit his effectiveness in the Super Bowl or keep
him out of game entirely. Freeney is in a walking boot because of a torn
ligament in his right ankle, and is likely to be listed as questionable along
with Shockey. Oddsmakers have Freeney’s total tackles set at 2.5, with the payout on the
over priced at +120. The under is a less-lucrative -150, but it’s hard to cap
Freeney to have a good game if he can’t even walk. Our estimation is Freeney
will start the game, and will be used as a decoy on passing downs against the
Saints.
