NBA player prop bets are based on an individual player’s statistical performance during a particular game. Typically this will include one or more of the main player stats categories in points, rebounds, and assists.
First reception OVER 8.5 yards: -130
If Hardman is to catch a pass in Super Bowl 55, there’s a very good chance it’ll be longer than 9 yards. The second-year pro had an average depth of target of 10.6 yards in 16 games this season, and he averaged 7.0 yards after catch per reception.

Of his 41 receptions in the regular season, 7 went for 20 or more yards. If he gets a look early, it’ll likely be in an attempt to catch the Bucs defense napping. Expect Hardman to make a big play when called upon.

This is a long shot, but that’s what Super Bowl prop bets should be about. With Hardman’s speed and QB Patrick Mahomes‘ right arm, it could take the wideout just a pair of catches to top this number, even though he hasn’t yet this season.
Hardman had a long catch of 49 yards in the regular season. He also had a long of 83 in his rookie season. He had just one two-yard catch in Super Bowl LIV, but the sophomore is now a bigger piece of the offense after catching 15 more passes in his second season.
