NFL Prop Bet: Patriots vs. Seahawks

• The Pick: Damiere Byrd Under 34.5 Rec Yards (-112)
• Bet Now: DraftKings

Damiere Byrd played 88% of the Week 1 snaps, which led all Patriot wideouts, but he was practically running wind sprints — he failed to see even one target.

The Patriots operated a run-heavy offense against the Dolphins in the opener, but will likely be forced to throw more as 4-point underdogs against the Seahawks (find real-time odds here). I'm not expecting Byrd to get shutout again — I'm projecting him for 2.5 receptions and 35 yards. However, after running my player prop simulation 10,000 times, I found his median is closer to 23.5 for Sunday night.

Byrd is likely to be Newton's vertical threat this season, which gives Byrd a wide range of outcomes each week. If he were to go over this prop, I would expect him to go way over this number. Most of the time, however, we can expect him to stay under 34.5.

I would bet this down to 27.5.

Here's a breakdown of my simulator's chances of Byrd going over or under his prop, depending on the line being offered:
