View Current Super Bowl XLV Odds
Mendenhall is one of the premiere backs in the league and he finished the year fifth in the NFL in total rushing. If someone is going to have a big rushing day for Pittsburgh, it will be him.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook SBGGLOBAL.com currently have given Mendenhall over/under odds of 75.5 rushing yards for the game.
Mendenhall has rushed for 1,273 yards on the season, which is an average of 79.6 yards per game. In the playoffs, Mendenhall has rushed for 167 yard in two games. Mendenhall has rushed for at least 76 yards in 8 of 18 games this year.
Looking at the Packers defense, they give up 114.9 rushing yards per game, which ranks in the bottom half of the NFL. Pittsburgh should have a game plan to attack with the run to set up the pass, so Mendenhall should get his fair shot to get 76 rushing yards.
Mendenhall also has over/under odds of 19.5 rushing attempts. Mendenhall averages 20.25 carries per game this season, so you also have to like the over for that as well. Pittsburgh isn’t going to want to get into a track meet, they will want to control the ball and put together lengthy drives. I expect Mendenhall to have a solid outing with a lot of big numbers.
When looking at his rushing yards prop odds breakdown, Mendenhall’s average of 79.6 rushing yards fits in with a betting line of +500. His season low this year is 36 yards (+800) and his season high is 151 yards (+6000).
