Packers vs Steelers Prop Picks, Preview
Jaylen Warren Under 57.5 Rushing Yards (-120)
Sometimes, when you scan player props, you see a line that looks totally wrong at first glance, and this is one of those occasions.
Jaylen Warren’s rushing yard line is set at 57.5 rushing yards, although it’s worth noting that it has already dropped a yard at some books. Instantly, this looks like a must-smash.
Only one team in the NFL is giving up fewer rushing yards per game than the 76.5 that the Packers are allowing, making them one of the best run-stuffing defenses in the entire NFL. This is a unit that held the formidable Lions duo, Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, to a combined 44 yards on 20 carries earlier this season.
Warren is fresh off a monster 127-yard performance against the Bengals, but before that he had a high of 52 rushing yards and three other performances below the 50 mark.
With the bookies expecting the Steelers to be playing from behind, the game script doesn’t feel like one that will encourage the Steelers to run.
Pick: Jaylen Warren Under 57.5 Rushing Yards (-120; Hard Rock)
Jaylen Warren Over 3.5 Receptions (+125)
We’re back with Warren again, and on the flip side, he could well be poised to see a lot of action in the passing game. This is a Packers defense with serious pass-rushing talent, with Rashan Gary and Micah Parsons on each edge.
To put it simply, Aaron Rodgers isn’t going to have much time in the pocket, and we have seen the former Packer get rid of the ball quicker in recent weeks.
A fearsome pass rush could see an increase in checkdowns and Warren could be poised to benefit from that.
He’s had over 3.5 receptions in three of five games so far this season, including last week.
Pick: Jaylen Warren Over 3.5 Receptions (+125; Fanatics)
Romeo Doubs Over 52.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
Prop betting is often about opportunity and nothing presents opportunity like a lot of injuries.
The Packers’ receiving corps are decimated with Jayden Reed on IR, Christian Watson and Dontayvion Wicks ruled out, while rookie Matthew Golden is questionable to play.
That means we could be set to see a lot of Romeo Doubs.
Doubs have proved to be somebody that Jordan Love trusts and that’s going to be key here. Doubs has seen a sharp increase in usage over recent weeks, with at least eight targets in three straight games.
That also coincides with him exceeding 52.5 yards in all three games, too, compared with just once in the three games before that.
Given that Love could be throwing to Doubs, Malik Heath and Savion Williams, expect Doubs to have a lot of volume.
Pick: Romeo Doubs Over 52.5 Receiving Yards (-110; DraftKings)
Tucker Kraft Anytime Touchdown (+125)
The injury crisis in Green Bay should also positively impact tight end Tucker Kraft, who could be poised for a big primetime performance.
This is a player who has developed a real chemistry with Jordan Love and somebody who has already racked up four touchdowns through the season.
The Steelers have given up four touchdowns to tight ends in just six games this season and in Kraft, they’re facing a player who leads the Packers in red-zone targets.
Kraft's had eight red-zone targets this season, catching six of them and converting four into touchdowns. His 6-foot-5 frame will be a concern for the Steelers when the Packers are within touching distance of their end zone.
Pick: Tucker Kraft Anytime Touchdown (+125; DraftKings)
