Green Bay Packers
Jordan Love, QB
Jordan Love Prop to Target: Higher than 235.5 passing yards
Love has totalled 245, 151, 259 and 246 passing yards in his four starts this season, so he’s been over this total 75% of the time. Add in a Week 5 matchup with a Raider’s pass defence that ranks as the 8th best matchup for quarterbacks and we have a smash spot for Love.
Aaron Jones, RB
Aaron Jones Prop to Target: Lower than 49.5 rushing yards
Jones has missed two of the Packer’s first four games and is yet to record double digits in carries. He has been battling a hamstring injury for the better part of the season and is as unreliable as they come. His season high in rushing yards is 41, making him a tough play even against a Raiders run defence that is the 11th-best matchup for running backs.
Christian Watson, WR
Christian Watson Prop to Target: Higher than 3.5 receptions
Watson will require a leap of faith on this one. He’s only played in one game this season and recorded only two catches on four targets as he was eased back into the lineup. Against a Raiders pass defence that is the 10th-best matchup for receivers, he should top this number with plenty of breathing room.
Las Vegas Raiders
Jimmy Garoppolo, QB
Jimmy Garoppolo Prop to Target: Lower than 241.5 passing yards
Garoppolo has thrown for 200 yards or less in two of his three starts this season, with his lone blowup game coming in Week 3 against a bad Steelers pass defence. This week he faces a Packers pass defence that is a bottom 12 matchup for quarterbacks. Look for Jimmy G to struggle mightily in this one.
Josh Jacobs, RB
Josh Jacobs Prop to Target: Lower than 73.5 rushing yards
Jacobs hasn’t hit this number once in four games, in fact, he hasn’t even been within 10 yards of it. His highest rushing total on the season is 62 yards. This Raiders offence is so bad, he just doesn’t get enough opportunities to produce yards. This week he gets the Packers run defence which is the 5th easiest matchup for running backs, but it will take a real outlier performance for him to top this number.
Davante Adams, WR
Davante Adams Prop to Target: Higher than 6.5 receptions
Adams is 50/50 this season in hitting this number, but even in the two games where he went under, he still recorded six receptions. The Packers are a bottom-12 matchup for receivers, but Adams is too critical to this offence to not be involved as they are likely to be playing from behind. Look for him to get the extra catch to put him over this number.
