Mike Wallace Prop Odds
ARLINGTON, TX (TheSpread) – The Pittsburgh Steelers have a deep threat in the young receiver Mike Wallace, but he is ready to produce in Super Bowl XLV?
View Current Super Bowl XLV Odds
A second-year speedster, Wallace typically has at least one catch of 20 yards each game and is known for being one of the fastest players in the league. He is quickly emerging as the No. 1 receiver in Pittsburgh.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook SBGGLOBAL.com currently have Wallace over/under odds of 66.5 yards for Super Bowl XLV against the Packers.
During the regular season, Wallace caught 60 passes for 1,257 yards. That is an average of 78.6 yards per game and 21 yards per reception. In the playoffs, Wallace has just four receptions for 26 yards, as he has faced two strong passing defenses that like to take away the deep pass.
What could pose a problem for Wallace is being paired up against Green Bay cornerbacks Charles Woodson and Tramon Williams. Those two combined for eight interceptions and 33 pass deflections. They are a big part of the reason Green Bay gave up just 194.2 passing yards per game this season. Green Bay has held receivers like Roddy White and DeSean Jackson in check already in the playoffs, as both were held under 60 receiving yards.
Wallace has also been given over/under odds of 25.5 yards for his longest reception. While he may be limited in total production, it only takes one slip or one coverage mistake for him to get a big gain in this game. His average yards-per-catch alone is 21 yards, so it is not out of the question to think he could have at least one 26-yard play in the game.
One prop odd I do like for this contest is +170 for Wallace having a rushing attempt. In the Super Bowl, teams pull out all the stops and want to get the ball in the hands of their playmakers. If Wallace isn’t a factor in the passing game, Mike Tomlin is going to find a way to get him the football, and I think you will see at least one reverse with the speedy receiver.
