NFL Best Best: Top Austin Hooper prop bet for Super Bowl LX Patriots vs. Seahawks

Published:

By: Alex Hunter

The Patriots and Seahawks meet in Super Bowl LX on Sunday night. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Seattle is favored by 4.5 points and this game carries a total of 45.5 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Austin Hooper prop to consider from this contest.


Best Austin Hooper Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Austin Hooper O 7.5 Receiving Yards (-117)

Hooper has only caught a pass in one of the Patriots’ three playoff games, but when we take a step back and look at the bigger picture, his results are more encouraging. This season, Hooper is averaging 14.6 receiving yards per game and he has finished with at least 10 receiving yards in 10 of his 19 games.

Hooper is running a route on 33% of his team’s dropbacks and he is seeing a target on 13% of his routes. The Seahawks are one of the top defenses in the NFL, there is no denying that, but their one weakness is defending tight ends. Seattle is giving up the second-most catches (115) and receiving yards to the position (1,214).

The Seahawks clearly prioritize defending receivers over tight ends and in this plus spot, backing Hooper for over 7.5 receiving yards makes a ton of sense. The tight end is averaging a strong 12.6 yards per reception this season, so Hooper could easily clear 7.5 receiving yards with just one catch in the Super Bowl.
