Making Super Bowl prop bets often means considering every possibility and looking at every player.
That means considering player props for Austin Hooper, a 10-year veteran who has played in a Super Bowl before, ironically against the Patriots.
While most people don’t consider New England’s backup tight end to be a difference-maker, I have three Austin Hooper props that are worth considering.
Austin Hooper Super Bowl Props
All NFL odds used for these Austin Hooper Super Bowl props are current as of Friday, Feb. 6, and courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.
Austin Hooper: Longest Reception Under 8.5 Yards (-120) vs Seahawks
If Hooper manages to make a reception in the Super Bowl, which is far from a guarantee, it’s not likely to be a long one.
Hunter Henry is the New England tight end who is more of a downfield threat. Hooper, on the other hand, might be used in short-yardage or goal-line situations, if at all.

That means he’s unlikely to have a reception longer than 8.5 yards.
Take the under as your NFL pick of the day.
Austin Hooper: Under 1.5 Receptions (-216) vs Seahawks
If you want to bet on Hooper going over 1.5 receptions, you can get +168 odds, which is tempting.
After all, the Seahawks have been one of the worst teams in the NFL this season at defending opposing tight ends.

But Hooper is not on the field for his pass-catching prowess. He’s had fewer than two targets in six of his last 11 games, much less getting two receptions, making it hard to believe Hooper will suddenly be productive in the Super Bowl.

Austin Hooper: Over 0.5 First Quarter Receiving Yards (+310) vs Seahawks
I did the same thing with Demario Douglas because I think it’s a good hedge for complementary wide receivers.
Even though Hooper is unlikely to do much as a pass-catcher, there is a chance the Patriots decide to test Seattle’s struggles against tight ends and surprise them by throwing to Hooper early in the game.

A reception by Hooper in the first quarter is priced at +274, but the odds are +310 for him to gain at least one yard.
While it’s a contradictory bet, it’s not impossible and could offset losses if the Patriots actually decide to use Hooper as a passing target in Super Bowl LX.
