Top Head-to-Head Bets Super Bowl XLIX vs. Phoenix Open
Tiger vs. Gronk: Tiger Woods and his Sunday score at the Phoenix Open will be matched up against New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski and his total receiving yards for the Super Bowl game. Woods opened at -4.5 and -110 with Gronkowski at -4.5 -110. As bad as Woods has continued to struggle he may well end up on the high end of this matchup with Gronk. Gronkowski was at 70 yards per game this season and averaged 68 yards per game in the playoffs.
Tiger vs. Marshawn: Woods is also matched up with Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch. Woods is at -1.5 -110 for total birdies on Sunday while Lynch opened at +1.5 -110. Lynch averaged over two catches per game this season and the way Woods is playing there is no sure thing that there will be much in the way of birdies for him.
Lefty vs. Edelman: Phil Mickelson will be matched up against wide receiver Julian Edelman of the Patriots with Mickelson’s score against Edelman’s total receiving yards. Mickelson opened at -2.5 and -110 while Edelman was at +2.5 -110. Edelman averaged 60 yards per game this season but stepped it up in the post season with 86 yards per game.
Lefty vs. Baldwin: Mickelson was also on the board for total birdies against Seattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin and his total pass receptions. Mickelson was a pick -110 while Baldwin was an even match at -110. Baldwin averaged one catch per game this season which will make this matchup among the most intriguing on the board.
Bubba vs. New England: Bubba Watson was matched up against New England for the longest drive versus the Patriots total yards. Watson was a +5.5 -110 while New England was at -5.5 -110. Patriots haters will flock to this one and pull for Watson to send off a bomb of a drive combined with the Pats being shut down in their Super Bowl efforts.
