Happy Thursday, everyone! If you’re anything like us, you’re excited about tonight’s preseason game, even though it doesn’t mean much in terms of the regular season. The Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots are facing off in what could be an important battle for some players, however, especially for the Patriots.
With news of Drake Maye struggling in camp, and seeing him after in their last preseason game, there might be room for others in the QB room to move up the depth chart. That said, let’s get into our favorite player props from tonight’s action, all of which are found on Underdog!
Joe Milton OVER 69.5 Passing Yards
Are we going to see a changing of the guard in New England? Despite using the No. 3 overall pick in the draft on Maye, the Patriots haven’t been excited about what he’s accomplished to this point.
Every report from camp has indicated that Joe Milton is outplaying him, and we’re about to see what the team thinks of him in tonight’s preseason game. Milton did look good last week, and he could be rewarded by playing a few more series.
With that in mind, we’re taking the over on his passing yards, as he will want to pull out all the stops to solidify his standing within the organization.
Kayshon Boutte OVER 29.5 Rush & Receiving Yards
There was a lot of hype surrounding Kayshon Boutte, but a gambling charge almost put his NFL career in jeopardy. However, those charges were dropped, and he’s now free to resume all NFL activity.
With that in mind, Boutte is one of the only decent receivers for the New England Patriots, a team with one of the worst receiving rooms in the league. He looked great in their game last week, and in an attempt to move up the chart, we believe he’ll play as much as the coaches allow tonight.
Look for Boutte to leave it all on the field, putting together another performance of at least 30 yards and hitting the over on his line.
John Ross UNDER 28.5 Rush + Receiving Yards
Talk about an overreaction, Batman! John Ross’ line was less than 20 yards last week, and he responded with a three-catch, 28-yard performance against the Baltimore Ravens.
While you might think this would make us rethink our decision, the books made a huge correction for his line. We don’t think lightning will strike two weeks in a row for Ross, so we’re once again taking the under on his rush and receiving yards line.
