SINGLE PROP 2023 REGULAR SEASON RECORD:
WEEK 2: 20-15
OVERALL: 29-40
 

SAINTS @ PANTHERS (7:15p)

PANTHERS RB MILES SANDERS OVER 63.5 RUSHING YARDS (-115)

Miles Sanders showed in Week 1 that he is the man in this backfield even with Hubbard getting 9 carries. This Saints defense is stout against the run and I think they are going to focus their effects on stopping the run and make the rookie QB Bryce Young throw the ball. New Orleans kept a really good running team like the Titans to only 104 yards on the ground.

 

SAINTS QB DEREK CARR OVER 234.5 PASSING YARDS (-115)

SAINTS WR CHRIS OLAVE OVER 69.5 RECEIVING YARDS (-115)

I put these two together because I feel like this goes hand in hand. Derek Carr showed his love and connection with his stud 2nd year wide out. Carr threw for over 300 yards and Olave caught 8 of his 10 targets for 112 yards. Olave could have had more if he didn't get dinged up for a bit during the game. Alvin Kamara being out of the lineup gives me the feeling that Carr will throw the ball more than 30 times in this game.

 

BROWNS @ STEELERS (8:15p)

STEELERS QB KENNY PICKETT OVER 204.5 PASSING YARDS (-115)

Did you see Kenny Pickett play in Week 1? I don't think I've seen a more poor performance than the way Pickett played against the 49ers. That San Francisco defense is really tough but things don't get easier tonight against the Browns. This is a Browns team that held Joe Burrow to less than 90 yards passing. Pickett racked up some garbage yards late in their loss to the 49ers which is the only reason I feel like he got over this number in Week 1. Another reason I like this prop is he'll be without one of his top weapons in Diontae Johnson.

 

STEELERS WR GEORGE PICKENS OVER 3.5 PASSING YARDS (+100)

George Pickens is going to have to step up without Diontae Johnson in the lineup tonight. He caught 5 passes on 7 targets in Week 1 against the 49ers. There is no question that he's the most talented and skilled wide receiver on this roster and they need to find ways to get the ball in his hands.
