The Arizona Cardinals are taking on the Washington Commanders in their first game of the NFL season. What are the best player props for this game?
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Most Passing Yards
The two quarterbacks in this game are Joshua Dobbs for the Cardinals and Sam Howell for the Commanders. Dobbs is favored to have more passing yards than Howell at -136. Howell’s odds to have the most passing yards are at +106. Howell is going against the Cardinals defense that was ranked 31st in the NFL last year. Dobbs is going against the seventh ranked defense. Howell should have more passing yards because of the match-up.
Terry McLaurin Receiving Yards
The over/under for receiving yards for Terry McLaurin is set 53.5 yards. Last season McLaurin had 1,191 yards receiving, which is 70 yards per game. Now the over/under is most likely effected by the second year quarterback Sam Howell being the starter. McLaurin has been consistent with his production no matter who the quarterback is. He should feast on this Cardinals defense. Take the over!!
James Conner Rushing Yards
The over/under for James Conner’s rushing yards is set at 59.5 yards. Conner ran for 782 yards in 13 games played last season. That is 60 yards per game. So the over/under is set right at his average. Last season, the Cardinals had Kyler Murray at quarterback for most of the season. A duel threat quarterback like Murray helps running backs by giving defenses another running weapon to think about.
The Cardinals won’t have that duel threat weapon at quarterback for the foreseeable future. The Cardinals may also find themselves down early in this match-up, meaning they will have to throw the ball to try to keep up with the Commanders. Conner’s rushing attempts and yards will be negatively affected by Murray’s absence. Take the under!!
