Cooper Kupp Receiving Yards: O/U 106.5 (-114)
In the Rams’ previous five games, Kupp went over that 106.5 number three times: versus San Francisco in Week 18 of the regular season, at Tampa Bay in the Divisional round and last week in Kansas City for the AFC Championship Game. The two times he didn’t eclipse that 106.5 mark, he finished with 61 yards against the Cardinals in Super Wildcard Weekend because the Rams didn’t need to put the ball in the air much during the second half, as well as at Baltimore in Week 17 of the regular season (although he did finish with 95 receiving yards in that game).
In his past 20 games, Kupp has gone over the 106.5-yard receiving mark 13 times, cashing at a rate of 65.00%. For whatever reason, defenses can’t or don’t seem to bracket Kupp in coverage, leaving plenty of opportunities for yards.
Cooper Kupp Receiving Yards Prediction: OVER 106.5 (-114)
As for the rest of Kupp’s Super Bowl prop odds, there isn’t a ton of value. For an any time touchdown, the juice is sitting at -190. Kupp caught at least one touchdown in 14 of his last 20 games, so he’s very likely to catch at least one touchdown. That said, -190 is too rich a price, especially when going with the over for his receiving yards is a better overall value.
The same goes for Kupp’s reception total, which currently sits at 8.5. The juice is +100, so at least we’re getting better odds, but we’re taking better odds with a worse number (8.5.). He’s gone over 8.5 receptions in 11 of his last 20 games, but he hit the over only twice in his last five games and only five times in his last 10 contests. Thus, it’s a 50/50 proposition.
Just take the over 106.5 on his receiving odds.
