Nicks finished the regular season with 1,192 yards receiving. That was only second on the Giants to Victor Cruz. But it has been Nicks who has become Eli Manning’s top target in the postseason, with Nicks catching six balls for 115 yards and two TDs in the wild-card win over Atlanta. Last week in the upset of Green Bay, Nicks had seven catches for 165 yards and two scores, one of them a Hail Mary touchdown at the end of the first half. He faces a 49ers defense that was shredded last week through the air by the Saints. San Francisco held Nicks to 41 yards in their regular-season meeting on Nov. 13.
 
The next two favorites are Patriots: Wes Welker at 4/1 and tight end Rob Gronkowski at 9/2. Welker was second in the NFL during the regular season in yards with 1,569 but was relatively quiet last week in New England’s divisional round win over Denver with six catches for 55 yards. Gronkowski had arguably the best season ever for a tight end with 1,327 yards and a record-setting 17 touchdowns. And “Gronk” was back at it against Denver with 10 catches for 145 yards and three scores. The Patriots face a Ravens defense that was No. 4 in the NFL against the pass during the season.
 
The top Raven on this prop is Anquan Boldin at 7/1. He was held to 887 yards receiving during the year and had 73 yards on four catches in last week’s win against Houston. The top 49ers on this prop are Michael Crabtree and tight end Vernon Davis at 10/1. Crabtree (874 yards during season) was held to 25 yards in last week’s win over New Orleans. Davis (792) yards blew up against the Saints with 180 yards and two scores on seven catches. Crabtree and Davis were held to a combined 61 yards on four catches in Week 10.
