Picking \u201cfield\u201d could be tempting at some books &#8212; especially if no defensive players are included, as you never know when Troy Polamalu or Tramon Williams could house an interception. Since I think the Steelers are likely to start quicker and smoother, I like them to score first, maybe with Big Ben calling his own number. <strong>Pick<\/strong>: Ben Roethlisberger +1800<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHO WILL WIN THE SUPER BOWL MVP AWARD?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Aaron Rodgers +130<br \/>\nBen Roethlisberger +325<br \/>\nRashard Mendenhall +650<br \/>\nGreg Jennings +1200<br \/>\nTroy Polamalu +1200<br \/>\nMike Wallace +1500<br \/>\nJames Starks +1500<br \/>\nClay Matthews +2000<br \/>\nHines Ward +2000<br \/>\nJames Harrison +2000<br \/>\nDonald Driver +2000<\/p>\n<p>I could list a bunch more names, but we\u2019ll go with those for now. To me, the big storyline could be the Packers\u2019 pass rush penetrating Pittsburgh\u2019s banged-up offensive line and forcing Big Ben to make mistakes. For that reason, I see Clay Matthews having a monster game, with a sack or two and a forced fumble. I like him as an underdog pick to go to Disneyland. <strong>Pick<\/strong>: Clay Matthews +2000<\/p>\n<p><strong>RODGERS VS ROETHLISBERGER \u2013 MOST PASSING YARDS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Aaron Rodgers -30.5 passing yards (+105)<br \/>\nBen Roethlisberger +30.5 passing yards (-135)  <!-- Affiliate Code Do NOT Modify--><a href=\"http:\/\/affiliates.commissionaccount.com\/processing\/clickthrgh.asp?btag=a_2744b_1472\" rel=\"nofollow\"><iframe allowtransparency='true' src='http:\/\/ff.connextra.com\/selector\/client?client=sportingbetUSA&#038;placement=Football_TEAMvsTEAM_250_250' class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #FFFFFF;\" width='250' height='250' scrolling='no' frameborder='0' style='border-width:0'><\/iframe><\/a><!-- End affiliate Code--><\/p>\n<p>Even though Rodgers has had the better season and Green Bay has the better pass defense \u2013 I like Big Ben to stay within 30 passing yards of him. According to my projection of a Green Bay victory, the Steelers will have to play catchup in the second half, meaning Ben could rack up yards. <strong>Pick: Roethlisberger +30.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>MENDENHALL VS STARKS \u2013 MOST RUSHING\/RECEIVING YARDS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rashard Mendenhall -32.5 rushing\/receiving yards (+120)<br \/>\nJames Starks +32.5 rushing\/receiving yards (-150)<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t have to worry much about the receiving yards here, as neither Mendenhall nor Starks factors into the passing game much. Even though Pittsburgh may throw later in the game and the Pack will want to kill clock and run if they\u2019re winning, I still like Mendenhall to best Starks by33 or more yards. The Pack should struggle to run on the league\u2019s top run defense. Meanwhile, Mendenhall topped 100 yards on a good Jets run \u201cD\u201d two weeks ago and faces an inferior Packers unit. <strong>Pick: Mendenhall -32.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>WALLACE VS JENNINGS \u2013 MOST RECEIVING YARDS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mike Wallace +17.5 receiving yards (-125)<br \/>\nGreg Jennings -17.5 receiving yards (-105)<\/p>\n<p>Mike Wallace is the AFC\u2019s deadliest deep threat and will be the fastest, most dynamic offensive player on the field this Sunday. However, he hasn\u2019t proven that he can play in big games against tough defenses yet. He caught three passes for 20 yards against Baltimore; he caught one pass for six yards against the New York Jets. Facing some combination of Charles Woodson, Tramon Williams, Nick Collins and Sam Shields, life doesn\u2019t get any easier for Wallace this week. Big Ben may turn to his tough, battle-hardened options like Hines Ward or Heath Miller in a pinch. So I like Greg Jennings to have the bigger game. <strong>Pick: Jennings -17.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Shea Matthews lives and breathes sports. He made the transition from athlete to sports journalist at a young age, writing in TV &amp; national newspapers. He now applies his knowledge to sports betting and handicapping every day, and shares his winning picks with the world. <\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Sportsbook.com &#8211; Your place on the web for a fun range of prop bets. <a title=\"Sportsbooks\" href=\"\/sportsbooks\/\"><strong>Check out our Reviewed Sportsbooks<\/strong><\/a> to see more wacky props for the Super Bowl. <\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are the best individual player prop bets for Super Bowl XLV between the Steelers and Packers.
