Hunter Henry Player Props
Hunter Henry Over 39.5 Receiving Yards (-111)
This has been one of the best seasons of Hunter Henry’s career.
He finished the regular season with a career-high 768 yards, and his seven touchdowns rank as his second-best tally, only behind his debut season as a Patriot back in 2021.
The best way to tackle Henry on Super Bowl Sunday is by backing him to cover his receiving yards total, which seems laughably short.
Across the season, he’s averaged 42.4 yards per game, yet some books still have his line at 39.5, a number he’s exceeded 10 times.
However, even if your bookie is offering a yard or two higher, it is still a wager well worth taking. By now you've heard that the Seahawks have an exceptional defense, one that bends without breaking.
That said, they do appear to have a slight weakness against tight ends. If you look at their two playoff games so far, it was TE Jake Tonges who led the 49ers in receiving yards with five catches and 59 yards in the Divisional Round. In the NFC Championship game, Colby Parkinson caught three of his four targets and racked up 62 yards.
Across the regular season, the Seahawks gave up the fifth-most receptions to TEs, although it’s the receiving yards line that interests us more here. In terms of receiving yards, this Seahawks defense gave up the sixth-most, averaging 63.5 per game.
Henry ranked second on the Patriots offense behind Stefon Diggs in terms of receiving yards in the regular season and is somebody that Drake Maye really trusts.
Henry is off the injury report and healthy and has a good chance to cover his yardage total.
Hunter Henry Anytime Touchdown (+245)
When it comes to Patriots anytime touchdown scorers, there aren’t many who offer value like Henry.
This is a player who has found the end zone eight times this season and led the team in receiving touchdowns during the regular season and in red-zone targets (21). That's nearly double the 12 of Stefon Diggs, who had the next-most.
Henry is an integral part of the Patriots' gameplan and their most dangerous red-zone weapon. Expect him to be targeted by Maye when the team gets inside the 20.
