Betting analysis of the various receiving props available at SI Sportsbook for Super Bowl LVII for Travis Kelce, A.J. Brown and more.
With the game total for Super Bowl LVII set at SI Sportsbook all the way up at 50.5, it’s time to check in on some receiving props for the Big Game.
The Chiefs are a pass-heavy offense and quarterback Patrick Mahomes’s 41 regular-season passing touchdowns and 5,250 passing yards led the NFL.
The Eagles are a more run-dominant offense, but quarterback Jalen Hurts’s 3,701 passing yards ranked tenth in the league despite playing only 15 games.

Does Davante Adams know something about Aaron Rodgers the rest of us don’t?
Rodgers’ future, once again, is up on the air after a disappointing season in Green Bay, and many people seem to think he’s played his last snap of football.
If he does leave the Packers, the Raiders are a sexy pick to land his services.

Well, the best receiver on the Raiders sent speculation about Rodgers joining the franchise through the roof with just one word.

Tom Brady announcing his retirement from a Florida beach Wednesday dominated the airwaves from dusk to dawn, but outgoing NASCAR champion Kevin Harvick didn’t learn about it until early Thursday.
I reckon that’s what happens when you’re 47 with two kids.
“Honestly, I didn’t even know that he actually retired until this morning,” Harvick said Thursday, three days before the green flag drops on the 2023 NASCAR season (unofficially, of course).
“I’m a little out of the loop.

What the heck are The Pro Bowl Games?
For years, the NFL has struggled to find the right balance with the Pro Bowl.
2023 offers the latest change in format.
With the Pro Bowl coming at the end of the season, the NFL has long found it difficult to attract both players, and fans, to the event. With many players opting out for injuries or other reasons, and players in the game itself shying away from contact — with good reason — the game had had become a very watered-down version of the product we see during the regular season, and especially the playoffs.

Whoever ends up being the less-favored team, they’ll be using it as an added dose of Super Bowl motivation.

Peter Schrager worked with Sean Payton on FOX broadcasts throughout this season. He tells you why Payton decided to become the Broncos coach, as well as why he could help QB Russell Wilson.

Adams was answering some fan questions and decided to be very blunt.
In all likelihood, Aaron Rodgers was doing his best to get Davante Adams to stay with the Packers this time last year. But now, it appears the star wideout is attempting to lure his former quarterback out West and he’s not trying to be subtle about it. 
Adams decided to answer some fan questions Wednesday night on Twitter all the while Rodgers mulls retirement. Mind you, if he does decide to return in 2023, it may not be with the Packers.

The Bruins are the SI Sportsbook to win the Stanley Cup entering the All-Star break.
As we approach the NHL All-Star break this weekend, it is time to check in on the Stanley Cup futures market.
The reigning champion Avalanche opened the season as the SI Sportsbook betting favorites but have dropped from the top perch as they are tied for eighth in the Western Conference. However, oddsmakers still have the defending champions ranked high due to strong convictions that a solid second half will improve their place in the standings. The Avs trail the conference-leading Stars by nine points.

No defense. No athleticism. Just brain injury.
I tried. I gave this stupid sport a chance. Now, three weeks in, I cannot believe this is still something being promoted and aired on television. Wednesday night marked the third week of Power Slap, and the third straight week I tuned in to try and understand its appeal, then turning it off before the end.
For the uninitiated, Power Slap is just what it says on the tin. Two competitors stand a table width apart, one being the slapper, the other the slappee — and they take turns trying to slap each other into submission.

Patrick Kelly, a 26-year-old assistant basketball coach at East Burke Middle School (Connelly Springs, North Carolina), was arrested last week after things turned “violent” when he disagreed with an officiating call.
According to Fox 8, Kelly charged toward the head coach of the opposing team after disagreeing with a foul call. On his way towards the coach, Kelly reportedly shoved an assistant coach and a juvenile who tried to stop him.
Shoving an assistant coach is one thing, but pushing a juvenile is another.
