Steelers vs. Titans Player Prop

DeAndre Hopkins is up against the Steelers this week, and his receiving yards prop stands at 50.5 yards.

Hopkins has a total of 504 receiving yards. In terms of targets, he is at 7.6 per game, and his 16 yards per reception ranks him 18th among receivers. I see Hopkins’ prop being set too high, considering the Titans are a below-average group in terms of pass attempts. I’m taking the under at 50.5 yards.

The Prop: DeAndre Hopkins Under 50.5 Receiving Yards (-112)

Steelers vs. Titans Predictions

Pittsburgh is presently the home favorite (-3). The point spread has remained fairly steady, with the lines not deviating much from the opening values.

After struggling to move the ball in the passing game against Jacksonville, I’m not expecting much from Pittsburgh this week. This is why I’m leaning towards Tennessee as a 3-point underdog.

The Pick: Titans +3 | -116 at Fanduel Sportsbook
