The betting odds for Josh Allen‘s passing yards seem undervalued this week. Despite recent performances not hitting the high mark of 240.5, Carver strongly believes we’ll see an uptick against the Patriots. The expectation is that the Bills will lean more on their passing game, leading to a rise in Allen’s yardage. However, facing a formidable Patriots defense, Ferrall’s advice is clear: take the points, take the under for Josh Allen’s passing yards.
Ferrall: Under | Carver: Over
Turning our attention to Baker Mayfield of the Buccaneers, the outlook is quite optimistic. Mayfield, who has been on a hot streak, faces the Saints with the NFC South title on the line. His passing yard line is set at 233.5 yards. Given his recent form and the playmaking abilities of teammates like Mike Evans and Rachaad White, it’s expected that Mayfield will not only perform well but potentially secure a new deal with Tampa. The betting sentiment is to go up with Mayfield’s yardage.

In Denver, a significant change is happening with the Broncos as Russell Wilson is out and Jarrett Stidham steps in. Recalling Stidham’s impressive performances for the Raiders last year, there’s a strong belief that he will exceed expectations against the Chargers. With a modest prop bet set at 202.5 yards, the recommendation is to bet on the over for Stidham.
Ferrall: Over | Carver: Over
Finally, we look at Mason Rudolph of the Steelers. Following a notable performance against Cincinnati, Rudolph faces a challenging game in Seattle. Despite the potential for the Steelers to win or cover the game, the betting advice is to go under the 217.5 yards mark for Rudolph from Carver. This cautious approach stems from the unpredictable nature of the matchup and the threats posed by Seattle’s defense. Ferrall is sticking with his Steelers quarterback.
Ferrall: Over | Carver: Under
