Clyde Edwards-Helaire prop bets, picks Super Bowl 55: Running back could be difference-maker in Chiefs vs. Bucs matchup
The Kansas City running back has had a solid rookie season, and Edwards-Helaire could pay off in some prop bets in Sunday's game
Rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire has played a big role this season for the Kansas City Chiefs, leading the team in rushing and has also been a viable option out of the backfield for quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Edwards-Helaire carried a team-high 181 times for 803 yards for a 4.4 yards-per-carry average and four touchdowns, while catching 36 passes for 297 yards and one TD. He has had six explosive plays of 20 yards or more.
Much of the fun in wagering on the Super Bowl is in the prop bets, and William Hill Sportsbook has a number of enticing options involving Edwards-Helaire.
William Hill has set the Over-Under on Edwards-Helaire's total rushing attempts in the big game at 8.5, and it has his rushing yards at 29.5. The running back has surpassed those numbers, surpassing 8.5 carries 10 times and more than 29.5 rushing yards 11 times. But he has just seven yards on six carries this postseason.
The sportsbook also has Edwards-Helaire as a +3000 long shot to become the first running back since Terrell Davis in Super Bowl XXXII to win the Super Bowl MVP. If you think he will rush for over 3.5 yards on his first rush, you can get +110, and he is +110 to have under 16.5 receiving yards, and +120 over 2.5 total receptions.
