- 1990-2021 saw 38.7% of Super Bowls with a wide receiver having 125 or more yards.
- Cooper Kupp has a total of 386 receiving yards in the 2022 NFL playoffs.
- Travis Kelce had over 125 receiving yards in Super Bowl 55.
LOS ANGELES – In a Super Bowl that involves two teams in the top 10 for most touchdowns per game, the odds for any one wide receiver hauling in over 125 yards could be a tempting bet.
In the case of Super Bowl 56, Cooper Kupp and Ja’Marr Chase make it sound even more likely to happen.
Between 1990-2021, 12 Super Bowls featured a wide receiver with 125 yards or more. This 31-year stretch shows it has happened in 38.7% of recent Super Bowls.
In fact, 15 wide receivers have accounted for over 125 yards in the Super Bowl, as three games had two players with 125+ receiving yards.

It has not been long since this Super Bowl prop bet was hit. In last year’s Super Bowl loss to Tampa Bay, Travis Kelce was able to bring in over 125 yards receiving (133).
For the 2021 regular-season passing yards stats, Matthew Stafford is number three on the list with 4,886 yards. Joe Burrow is sixth with 4,611 yards.
Nobody will be shocked if either quarterback is taking deep shots throughout the game but these superstar receivers still have a challenge ahead of them, evident from the Super Bowl 56 bet.
Super Bowl 56 WR Prop Bet
