Super Bowl 60 is nearly here, and our expert’s have been breaking down the player prop markets for all of the notable contributors on both teams on Sunday. While this isn’t a matchup that anyone expected back in September, this contest between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots should produce an excellent battle for the Lombardi Trophy on Sunday. On paper, New England doesn’t have many avenues to score on the Seattle defense through the air, which means a player like Rhamondre Stevenson will need to make an impact out of the backfield for Josh McDaniels’ offense. Let’s take a look at my favorite Stevenson prop bets for Super Bowl 60, with all odds provided by DraftKings Sportsbook.

Super Bowl 60 Rhamondre Stevenson best bet: Under 14.5 rush attempts (–120)
Stevenson has clearly established himself as the top running back in this offense, but this is a pretty difficult matchup against a defense that ranks at the top of the NFL in most rushing statistics, including rushing success rate allowed and opponent EPA per rush. Mike Macdonald’s defense is more susceptible to teams using play-action looks, as we saw with the Rams a week ago. The Patriots are not a team that employs 12 and 13 personnel looks, which is what certain offenses (Rams, Buccaneers, Cardinals) have used to generate success against this elite Seattle defense. Furthermore, if New England ends up being in a negative game script in the second half, it’s unlikely that Stevenson will get many carries on early downs. With that in mind, let’s take the under on his rush attempts.

Seahawks vs Patriots Rhamondre Stevenson player prop bet: Under 3.5 receptions (-165)
This number feels a bit inflated based on recent results, especially since the Seahawks defense is excellent and arguably better equipped to stop the Patriots offense than what the Texans, Broncos and Chargers brought to the table. Stevenson has also not been particularly effective as a receiver for most of the season. In fact, the Patriots running back has recorded just 47 targets out of the backfield over 17 games played to this point, which equates to just under 3 targets per game.
Seattle is not a team that relies on getting pressure by blitzing the opposing quarterback, so it’s not as if Stevenson will often be presented as a safety valve for Drake Maye when the young quarterback is under pressure. Furthermore, if the Patriots end up being in a negative game script, Stevenson doesn’t factor to be on the field as much. With that in mind, I’ll drink the juice and bank on Stevenson’s season-long performance carrying over into this game.
