Best Colts-Vikings Props
Justin Jefferson to Have the Most Receiving Yards of Game +130 (FanDuel)
Justin Jefferson is coming off one of the best games of his career. He reeled in 11 catches for 223 yards for only the Vikings’ 3rd loss of the season. Today, Jefferson will look to put on another show on primetime against the underwhelming Colts, who are fresh off their bye week but were embarrassed on Sunday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys two weeks ago.
The Colts are a difficult matchup for most wide receivers. They allow the fewest yards to the position, but were exposed by elite talents. Davante Adams of the Las Vegas Raiders torched the Colts for 126 yards in Week 10 including a 48-yard touchdown in the 4th quarter. Jefferson has all the makings to replicate this performance. He’s surpassed 100 yards in 8 of 13 games and has led the Vikings in receiving yards in 9 games.
The interesting part of the prop is analyzing the other side of the ball. The Vikings struggle to contain wide receivers. They allow the most yards to the position and will have to deal with Michael Pittman Jr.. Pittman has been underwhelming as of late. He’s surpassed 70 yards in only 1 of his last 7 games but is by far Matt Ryan‘s favorite target.
We cashed in on this prop on Twitter last week including a +1400 bomb for Jefferson to lead the league in receiving yards in Week 14. Jefferson is a matchup nightmare for any team and this prop at +odds is great value especially against a Colts team that’s number 1 wide receiver is struggling.
Best Ravens-Browns Props
Justin Tucker OVER 1.5 Field Goals Made -115 (Caesars)
Justin Tucker continues to cement himself as the top kicker of all time. He’s made every kick under 50 yards this season and is playing in familiar territory today. He faces off against the division rival Cleveland Browns who are 2.5-point favorites at home.
Tucker has had great success playing in Cleveland over his 11-year playing career. In 10 games in Ohio, Tucker has made 21 of 22 field goals with the one miss being a blocked 48-yard field goal. The forecast calls for 10-12 MPH wind gusts but nothing that Tucker hasn’t dealt with.
The Ravens will again be without superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson who is dealing with a knee injury. Tyler Huntley will lead the helm once again. Huntley and the Ravens struggled to find the endzone last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. They scored only one touchdown which came in the 1st quarter which then led to three field goals by Tucker.
Tucker is over this line in 9 of 13 games and will be leaned upon in what projects to be a low-scoring divisional battle. Opposing kickers have attempted at least two field goals aganist the Browns in 9 of 13 games.
