Green Bay Packers vs. Cleveland Browns Prop Plays
*Best lines at time of writing listed
The Packers and Browns meet at Huntington Bank Field on Sunday.
The Cleveland defense has been stellar, at least the rush defense. Ravens QB Lamar Jackson passed all over the Browns in last weekend's rout.
But, this is a Browns rush D which limited RB Derrick Henry to six carries on six yards at one point, before he finished with a paltry 23 yards on 11 totes, just 2.1 yards per carry.
That 2.1 YPC number is exactly what the Browns are allowing on 44 attempts through two games. The Browns have yielded a rushing touchdown, but have yet to allow a run of 20+ yards this season. In fact, the longest run Cleveland has given up is 11 yards to Jackson last week. In Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals, the longest run the Browns allowed was an eight-yard gain by RB Chase Brown.
Packers RB Josh Jacobs is a talented back, posting 66 yards in Week 1 against the Detroit Lions, and 84 yards against the Washington Commanders on Thursday night in Week 2. However, that is just 3.6 yards per attempt. He is going to find the sledding awfully tough in the first road game of the season.
Best Prop Pick: Packers RB Josh Jacobs Under 78.5 Rushing Yards (-114 at DraftKings)
Indianapolis Colts vs. Tennessee Titans Prop Plays

On the opposite side of the coin, the Indianapolis Colts head to the Music City to battle the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. The Titans have allowed 300 rushing yards through the first two games at 5.4 yards per carry.
Enter RB Jonathan Taylor, who has averaged 5.5 yards per attempt, including a complete strafing of the Denver Broncos run defense at Lucas Oil Stadium in Week 2.
Taylor looks like the guy we saw in 2020 and 2021, averaging 5.0+ yards per attempt in both seasons. That was prior to some injury issues which limited his effectiveness. He looks 100 percent, and like one of the top backs in the NFL again. Look for Taylor to run wild in Nashville.
Best Prop Pick: Colts RB Jonathan Taylor Over 88.5 Rushing Yards (-118 at BetMGM)
Houston Texans at Jacksonville Jaguars Prop Plays
The Texans head to Duval to battle the Jaguars in the other AFC South Division clash of Week 3.
Texans QB C.J. Stroud has thrown just one interception in 51 pass attempts through the first two games, and that came in Week 1 in the team's first road contest against the Los Angeles Rams. CB Cobie Durant was the player with the pick, just in case you were wondering.
Anyway, the Jaguars pass defense buzzed through their first two games, totaling five interceptions, including three last week against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Over/Under for Stroud interceptions is 0.5 INT. Surely the most opportunistic defense will be able to coax Stroud into a miscue.
Best Prop Pick: Texans QB C.J. Stroud Over 0.5 Pass Interceptions (+100 at BetMGM)
Dallas Cowboys at Chicago Bears Prop Plays
The Chicago Bears passing defense was trampled by the Detroit Lions last week at Ford Field, allowing 52 points and 511 total yards, including 334 yards through the air, and 11.9 yards per pass.
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott was involved in a good, old-fashioned Texas shootout in Week 2 against QB Russell Wilson and the New York Giants. Prescott completed 38-of-52 passes for 361 yards, two touchdowns and one interception with a 96.7 QB Rating.
Prescott has racked up 6.4 yards per pass through two games, and he has to be licking his chops at the prospects of going up against the leaky pass D, as do WRs CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and company.
Best Prop Pick: Cowboys QB Dak Prescott Over 259.5 Passing Yards (-112 at DraftKings)
