Week 18 Player Props – Texans vs Colts

Michael Pittman Jr. 60+ Receiving Yards -270

Both teams are in must win positions and Pittman is Minshew’s go-to guy. He’s averaging over 70+ yards per game and had less than 60+ yards in a game only three times this season.

Jonathan Taylor 50+ Rushing Yards -270

19+ carries in each of his last 5 games played and averaging 4 YPC this season projecting for 76 rushing yards.

C.J. Stroud 2+ Passing Touchdowns -111

He hasn’t thrown for two or more TD’s since week 12 against the Jaguars, but with an opportunity to get into the playoffs and further his OROY campaign I’m betting he gets it done.

Dalton Schultz 25+ Receiving Yards -420

Schultz has shown that he can go missing in action at times this year, registering less than 10+ receiving yards in a game 4 times. However, that all happened when Tank Dell was still on the field demanding targets. Without Dell, and in a must-win scenario, it all projects for a strong showing from Schultz.

Week 17 Saturday Night Player Props – Lions vs. Cowboys

This figures to be an exciting game between two explosive offenses. But sometimes these premium primetime matchups don’t live up to all the hype, which is why my props aren’t too aggressive.

The sportsbooks project superstar WR’s Ceedee Lamb and Amon-Ra St. Brown to continue their great play and their odds reflect it. Needing over 80 yards and 5 receptions for a minimal payout isn’t worth it to me so I’m staying away from those guys.

I’m staying away from the QB’s too mostly for those same reasons. Let’s take a look at tonight’s picks:

RB Jahmyr Gibbs +3 Receptions -235

The Cowboys are averaging 5 catches allowed to opposing RB’s over last 5 weeks.

TE Sam LaPorta +4 Receptions -275

Dallas has allowed 4 or more receptions to opposing TE’s in 8 out of the last 9 games.

RB Tony Pollard +40 Rushing Yards -290

Detroit has allowed the 4th most rushing yards per game on the road this year and the 5th most in the last 3 games.

Jake Ferguson +40 Receiving Yards -192

The Lions have allowed the 11th most receiving yards against opposing TE’s this year.
