Cam Akers: Best prop bets for Rams RB in Super Bowl 56
Under 64.5 rushing yards (-120)
It’s not the most lucrative, but it’s definitely one of the most likely outcomes of the game. Akers hasn’t had more than 55 rushing yards in a game since his return. He saw his usage dialed back a little in the NFC Championship game too, and the Rams are likely to going to have to throw a ton to keep pace with the Bengals. Plus, we’re expecting Darrell Henderson to be back in action, taking away carries from Akers.
Under 16.5 rushing attempts (-125)
Akers saw his carries drop from 24 to 13 from the divisional round to the championship game. And with Henderson back in the mix, it’s hard to see him getting too many touches in this one.
