Prop Inquiry: Manning rushing yds 2.5 o/u

[Fthenorm]

I am a new poster, but have been handicapping all sports for 12+ years. I have read these boards thoroughly for 2 yrs. I am intrigued by a -115 o/u prop of total eli manning rushing yards 2.5 (bodog). Over 2.5 looks like a winner, any educated opinions?

I can't believe the number of prop bets out there, all at such crappy odds....-115, -120

what makes you think eli having more than 2.5 yards is any more than a 50/50 prop?

Asking for educated, not biased opinions...hence your name. -115 could be better, but has any superbowl QB not rushed for at least 3 in a game (anyone have the stats)? Perhaps there is a better line with less vig on another site that I am unaware of?

A couple of NE sacks could easily negate any rushing yards Eli has.

Call me stupid, but does a sack count against the quarterbacks rushing yards since it isn't a rushing attempt?

first of all, yes, I like the pats, but how the HELL does that have anything to do with whether or not ELI will run for 2.5 stinkin yards? Do I think he will? yes. Do I think this bet is retarded, yes! Dude, flipping a coin at 15% juice is not a value bet. Why not go play roulette and put it all on black? I'm fairly sure sacks count in passing yard statistics, but seriously, who cares.
