Kenneth Walker III Super Bowl LX Player Prop Predictions


Kenneth Walker III has been an important part of the Seattle Seahawks offense throughout his time in the Pacific Northwest. But he is even more important right now, as an injury to Zach Charbonnet has reduced the number of running back options around him in the Seattle backfield. Will that translate to a big game for Walker in Super Bowl LX? Here, I try to answer that question as I make my predictions for Kenneth Walker III player props before Super Bowl Sunday.
Prop | Odds | |
|---|---|---|
73.5 Rushing Yards | Over (-110) | Under (-114) |
18.5 Rush Attempts | Over (-122) | Under (-105) |
22.5 Receiving Yards | Over (-114) | Under (-110) |
2.5 Receptions | Over (-135) | Under (+106) |
First TD Scorer | +340 | |
2+ TDs | +270 | |
Anytime TD Scorer | -200 | |
Super Bowl MVP | +850 |
The first of the Kenneth Walker III player props that I recommend betting for this game is for Walker to go over 73.5 rushing yards. Walker should benefit from the absence of Charbonnet in the backfield for the Seahawks in this contest. He shouldn't log some insane number of carries, but he will tote the rock enough to go over this total.
So far in this postseason, Walker has been highly efficient on the ground. He has averaged 4.7 yards per carry against the 49ers and Rams in Seattle's first two playoff games. He should continue to find rushing lanes and that should add up to at least 80 rushing yards according to my prop projections for Walker in this game.
I am taking a second over for Kenneth Walker III in this year's Super Bowl. Along with the over on his rushing yards, I am taking the over on Walker's rushing attempts, which is set at 18.5 carries. This is another situation where Charbonnet being injured will result in more carries for Walker, as I don't expect the Seahawks to give the ball to Cam Akers or their other backup options too often with how little they have touched the ball this season.
So far in these playoffs, Walker has logged 19 carries in each of the two rounds that Seattle has played in. I'm expecting a similar game script for the Seahawks in this game, as they are favored in this game and should keep the ball on the ground down the stretch to try and keep the clock moving and prevent Sam Darnold from being in a position to make any catastrophic mistakes.
And while I don't recommend betting anyone to win Super Bowl MVP this year when looking at the prices, Walker might be the closest I get to pulling the trigger in that market. Walker is at +270 to score two or more touchdowns in this contest. If he were to do that, which is entirely possible, he could easily end up coming away with the MVP award for this contest in Santa Clara.
