Best Super Bowl bet No. 2: Tee Higgins OVER 5.5 Receptions (+106)

Tee Higgins is one of the most underrated reasons his Bengals team has made a run in these playoffs.

We all know that Ja’Marr Chase is the guy for the Bengals, but Tee Higgins has been fantastic all season. With ideal conditions in Los Angeles, I expect the Bengals to throw it short quite a bit in this game.

Higgins is an outstanding short route runner, and it showed last game when he snagged a couple of slants for first downs. Here are a couple of reasons I am convinced this bet will hit.

Tee Higgins has 13 receptions and 19 targets over his last two playoffs games.
Tee Higgins is averaging 7.6 targets per game in the playoffs.
Tee Higgins leads the Bengals with the most first downs in the previous two games

In addition to all this, there is a good chance that Jalen Ramsey will be used to help contain Ja’Marr Chase. I would not expect Ramsey to follow him all over the field but look for Higgins to capitalize when Ramsey is on the opposite side of the field.
