More often than not, at least one tight end plays a key role in deciding the Super Bowl.
The Patriots are hoping that Hunter Henry will be that tight end in Super Bowl LX.

Hunter Henry Super Bowl Props
All NFL odds used for these Hunter Henry Super Bowl props are current as of Wednesday, Feb. 4, and courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.
Most Receptions: Hunter Henry (+830)
These odds are longer than I typically consider for Super Bowl prop bets, but it might be worth taking a flyer on Henry having the most receptions of any player in Super Bowl LX.
Of course, he has just six total catches during the playoffs, so his role has been a little limited. But the Seahawks also allowed just over six receptions per game to opposing tight ends, which ranked among the most in the league.
The Seattle defense struggled to contain tight ends during the season and may not make Henry a priority in this game, so if nothing else, his upside in this game is high.
Hunter Henry: Over 38.5 Receiving Yards (-110) vs Seahawks
Not only did the Seahawks give up a lot of receptions to opposing tight ends this season, but they naturally gave up a lot of yards as well.
Seattle allowed nearly 64 receiving yards per game against opposing tight ends, which was the fifth-most in the NFL.

New England’s backup tight end, Austin Hooper, has just one catch during the postseason, so Henry is the only tight end that’s part of the passing game.
Despite a lack of production in his last two games, before the Divisional Round, Henry had at least 45 receiving yards seven times in a 10-game stretch, so he’s more than capable of bouncing back in the Super Bowl.
I’m backing him to go over this relatively low total as my NFL pick of the day.
Hunter Henry: Longest Reception Over 17.5 Yards (-115) vs Seahawks
Henry has never been the type of tight end who only catches short passes. He has the speed to run past linebackers down the seam and create plays down the field.
Again, we haven’t seen that from him in New England’s last two games, but Henry is more than capable of creating havoc in the secondary.

Henry ended the regular season with at least one catch of 18 yards or more in six of his last seven games, and he did it again in the Wild Card Round.
That makes me think he’ll have at least one long catch against a Seattle defense that has struggled to contain tight ends all season. Consider pairing this wager with our best sportsbook promotions.
