Stan James have group betting on rookie with most regular season receiving yards; Michael Crabtree, Darrius Heyward-Bey, Hakeem Nicks or Percy Harvin.
Crabtree the 15/8 favourite has as yet refused to sign his offered $20 million contract;
ESPN states;
"Crabtree appears nowhere near accepting the 49ers' reported offer of five years, $20 million, the San Jose Mercury News reports.
As talented as Crabtree thinks he is, with each passing day -- and no 49ers' playbook to study -- he falls further behind and less likely to make a big impact out of the gate. We'd still be surprised if he holds out the entire season, as has been implied, but there seems to be no urgency (at least, publicly stated) for either side to get this done."
Harvin and Heyward-Bey should get good playing time from the start of the season. Nicks may have to wait for his chance as he is down the depth chart currently.
ESPN has the following season predictions;
Harvin 705yds
Nicks 487yds
Heyward-Bey 426yds
Crabtree 0yds
Therefore I feel Harvin looks good value at 11/4.
Bet: 4pts Percy Harvin NFL Regular Season Rookie Most Receiving Yards Group Betting @ 11/4
RESULT: WON
PROFIT: +3.5 |
