The betting site Bodog has now posted the player prop bet odds for the 2011 NFL season and I have listed the Steelers player proposition odds below for those that are listed. I do not think it is out of the question that Ben Roethlisberger makes a run at the most passing yards this year as well as the 2011 NFL MVP. In this offense, with these receiving weapons, it certainly is achievable.
Rashard Mendenhall getting 1100 yards is also a tasty prop bet as well as the 9½ touchdowns. I think he will have weeks where he will have a few multi-touchdown games, so that will help.
I would have to go under on the James Harrison sacks of 10½ as I think he is at a greater risk of missing a game here or there with his back. LaMarr Woodley I might be tempted to bet the over 10 on instead.
If you think Troy Polamalu will play in all 16 games, those 5 interceptions seem very doable.
