Jaxon Smith-Njigba Super Bowl LX Player Prop Predictions


One of the most interesting players going into Super Bowl LX is Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. JSN has been one of the best wide receivers in the NFL all season long and he has a chance to cement his status as one of the best in the sport with a big game on the biggest stage in football. Here, I break down the Jaxon Smith-Njigba player props that are on the market going into the Super Bowl and you can find my best bets for JSN below.
Prop | Odds | |
|---|---|---|
94.5 Receiving Yards | Over (-114) | Under (-110) |
6.5 Receptions | Over (-142) | Under (+111) |
First TD Scorer | +600 | |
2+ Touchdowns | +550 | |
Anytime TD Scorer | -110 | |
Super Bowl MVP | +550 |
My top pick for Jaxon Smith-Njigba player props in Super Bowl LX is for him to go over 94.5 receiving yards. JSN led the NFL in receiving yards this season with 1,793 yards during the regular season, averaging just over 100 receiving yards per game. He is also coming off a big game in the NFC Championship Game, hauling in 10 passes for 153 yards and a touchdown.
In this game, I'm expecting JSN to get a lot of targets for the second game in a row. Not only is he great at creating separation from defenders, but we should see Sam Darnold look to him often to help alleviate the pressure of his first career trip to the Super Bowl. Look for Smith-Njigba to have at least 95 receiving yards and for him to be one of the most important players to the success of the Seahawks in this contest.
Along with the over on JSN's receiving yards, I also recommend backing him to score a touchdown in this contest. Smith-Njigba has a touchdown reception in each of the first two games of the playoffs for the Seahawks this postseason. I think he will make it a third straight playoff game with a touchdown catch here, as the Seahawks should continue to look JSN's way in scoring range in this game from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara.
There are understandably concerns about Smith-Njigba's matchups in this game against a very good Patriots defense. Christian Gonzalez is one of the best corners in the NFL and JSN will have to earn everything that he gets in this game. But Smith-Njigba always draws the toughest defender given how good he has been this year and he should be able to overcome that to some degree.
Bettors who are looking for some bets to place at longer odds in the Super Bowl may want to consider JSN to win Super Bowl MVP or for him to be the game's first touchdown scorer. These are obviously more risky propositions than the ones I took above. But another big game from JSN could be enough to win him Super Bowl MVP given the potential for struggles from both quarterbacks in their first Super Bowls.
