Paul’s Props + TD Bets

Heath’s Advanced Matchups

The Panthers have deployed Cover 3 at a top-3 rate this season (42.0%), and have done so at least 37% of the time in 4 of their 5 games. Dak Prescott has averaged 0.71 FP/DB (would rank ~QB3), an 18.0% deep throw rate (~QB1), and 9.92 ANY/A (~QB1) against Cover 3 this year. Those constitute +82%, +51%, and +79% boosts (respectively) for Prescott compared to all other shells this year. He ranks top-3 in catchable throw rate (90.2%) and highly accurate throw rate (70.5%) against Cover 3 despite a top-12 aDOT on those dropbacks (8.6).

Recommended Props: Jake Ferguson over 44.5 receiving yards (BetMGM, -110, risk 1u), 70+ receiving yards (FanDuel, +300, risk 0.25u)
