Sam Darnold Player Props
Sam Darnold Over 19.5 Completions (-102)
By Brit Devine
With the Patriots' defensive line back at full strength for the playoffs, they have allowed just 113 rushing yards on 48 rushing attempts from RBs in three games against the Chargers, Texans and Broncos.
That breaks down to an incredible 2.35 yards per attempt. They did have some easy rushing matchups, but even so, this is not a team that should be targeted in the run game right now.
If the run game looks difficult for Seattle, I'm expecting them to game-plan around the pass, and with two more weeks to get over his oblique injury, Darnold (who has looked great this postseason anyway) should be slinging the ball all over the field.
With a game plan of short-to-intermediate routes to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who has emerged back into the impossible-to-guard alpha threat we saw in the regular season, there should be ample opportunity for the completions to rack up.
