After watching the LA Dodgers clinch a thrilling World Series victory last night and waking up this morning realizing that there will be no sports tonight, shows how spoiled we have become as sports fans over the past 3 months. Now the NFL is doing us no favors by feeding us a [1-6] Atlanta Falcons @ [3-4] Carolina Panthers NFC South divisional matchup, but with no sports tonight, we will take what we can get. There are some great player prop betting lines for this matchup and due to the strength [or lack thereof] from either team anything can happen. A big storyline heading into this game is the potential return of ALL-Pro RB Christian McCaffrey [O/U 0.5 Rushing TDs], who has played in 2 games so far this season, hitting the over on his player prop betting line on both occasions, scoring two rushing TDs in both contests. This matchup also features a decent QB battle in Matt Ryan [O/U 295.5 Passing Yards] of the Falcons taking on the Panther’s Teddy Bridgewater [O/U 1.5 Passing Touchdown.] Ryan who is desperately searching for his second win of the season has been rock solid so far, hitting the over in passing yards on his player prop betting line in each of the past 2 games, combining for an average of 354.5 yards in those 2 contests. Bridgewater has also been solid, hitting the over in passing touchdowns on his player prop betting line in 3 of the past 4 games…
The home-team Panthers are searching for their second win over the Falcons this season. A great surprise for the Panthers has been the arrival of WR Robby Anderson [O/U 73.5 Receiving Yards] from the NY Jets. Anderson has been an absolute stud so far this season for Carolina, hitting the over in receiving yards on his player prop betting line in each of the past 4 games, and 6 of the 7 on the season. Joining Anderson in this receiving core is DJ Moore [O/U 5.5 Receptions] who had a very big game vs. the Buccaneers in a Week 2 loss, finishing with 8 receptions. Besides that one matchup, Moore has hit the under in receptions on his player prop betting line in 6 of the 7 games so far this season. On the other side of Moore is Curtis Samuel [O/U 31.5 Receiving Yards], who finds himself in a complete inverse position of his teammate. Samuel had a poor showing in a Week 2 loss to the Buccaneers, finishing with a mere 13 reception yards. Besides that slow performance, Samuel has hit the over on his player prop betting for reception yards in the 5 other games he has participated in.
The Falcons are seeking their first divisional win of the season. Joining Matt Ryan in this offense is former First Team All-Prop RB, Todd Gurley [O/U 0.5 Rushing Touchdowns.] Gurley started the season a bit slow but managed to find his form in recent weeks, hitting the over on his player prop betting line in 4 of the past 5 games, combining for a total 6 rushing TDs in that span. Another bright spot in this offense is TE Hayden Hurst [O/U 3.5 Receptions], who has managed to exceed all expectations of him by hitting the over on his player prop betting line in 3 of the past 4 games. The most electric player on this Atlanta Falcons team happens to be questionable for this matchup in Julio Jones [O/U 5.5 Receptions], who has managed to hit the over in receptions on his player prop betting line in each of the past 2 games, but again his status for Thursday night’s matchup is to be determined. The Falcons will surely need their #1 play-maker if they would like to win their second game of the season…
