NFL Week 15: Quick picks for most passing yards, rushing yards and more

BetAmerica offers various prop bets on statistical leaders – both player and team – every Sunday of the NFL season. Here’s a quick look at three markets that offer props players some value this week.

Most passing yards

Patrick Mahomes is a tepid favorite (+400) to lead all throwers in passing yards this Sunday. His Kansas City Chiefs will matchup with the New Orleans Saints in what looks like the game of the week. But the Saints are fourth in passing defense in 2020, so let’s look elsewhere for a better bet.

Tom Brady (+500) and his Tampa Bay Buccaneers collide with the Atlanta Falcons and their 30th-ranked pass defense this Sunday. Brady has plenty of dangerous perimeter weapons in wide-outs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, with tight end Rob Gronkowski is always dangerous underneath.

The Bucs will need to lean more heavily on the aerial attack with halfback Ronald Jones II out for Week 15. Count on Brady to uncork a vintage effort here.

Most rushing yards

Derrick Henry (+225) is favored to lead all rushers in yards on the ground this Sunday. Henry and the Tennessee Titans meet the Detroit Lions’ 29th-ranked run stoppers, so he should have a good game. However, at incredible odds, Arizona Cardinals tailback Kenyan Drake (+4000) should not be overlooked in this market.

Drake draws a favorable matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles’ 25th-ranked run stoppers. He’s fresh off a season-high 23 carries (80 yards) in Week 14 against the New York Giants, suggesting head coach Kliff Kingsbury is not afraid to grind things out on the ground.

A reprise of Drake’s 164-yard effort against the Dallas Cowboys earlier this year could help longshot players cash.

Most team points

The Titans (+400) are tepid favorites to notch the most points in the NFL this Sunday as they square off with the lacking Lions defense. They’re far from impossible, but others appeal more at better odds.

The Indianapolis Colts (+750) are fresh off a season-high 44-point effort against the Las Vegas Raiders, and draw another soft defense in the Houston Texans. That unit has allowed the eighth-most points per game in the NFL this season.

The Buccaneers (+1100) – if Brady excels as expected – have a solid case to amass the most points in the league this Sunday as well.
