Russell Wilson Passing Yards Ladder
Wilson’s performed well through three games this season. He’s thrown for 737 yards with 6 touchdowns and 1 interception. Truthfully, I don’t believe he’s a good quarterback at this point, but he’s flashed plenty of ability to record stats.
On the season, Wilson is averaging a ridiculous 8.7 yards per attempt. He’s thrown for 260+ yards in two of his three games thus far. There’s more upside in the right matchup, though, as he has yet to attempt more than 29 passes in a game this season.
Wilson gets as good of a matchup as he could against the Baltimore Ravens. They’re allowing a league-high 314.4 passing yards per game this season. The Ravens are also allowing 12.1 yards per completion in 2024.
Wilson can make big plays because of his receivers. He’s seen limited pass attempts, and I expect that to be the case early in this game. Pittsburgh always wants to establish the run, but they may not be able to for long in this game.
If Baltimore can get out to an early lead, they could force Pittsburgh to throw the ball late in the game. That’s what I expect to be the case, although this is a matchup where Wilson can find success in his normal limited role.
Where to Bet: Russell Wilson 225+ passing yards through 300+ passing yards
Josh Jacobs Rushing Yards Ladder
Jacobs hasn’t been the most consistent player in the NFL, but he’s found plenty of success for the Green Bay Packers this season. He posted 762 yards and 3 touchdowns on 158 carries through nine games. He’s also posted 120+ rushing yards in two of his nine games this season.
Jacob’s volume has a lot to do with his inconsistencies. He doesn’t always feature into a massive role for the Packers, but he does have games with 32 and 25 carries. Unsurprisingly, those are his two games with 120+ yards.
Jacobs gets a great matchup against the Chicago Bears this weekend. The Bears have struggled to defend the run this season, as they’re allowing the eighth-most rushing yards (111.6) per game to opposing running backs. They’re also giving up 4.9 yards per carry in 2024.
The Packers are currently 5.5-point favorites, meaning they could lean on the run in this game. It’s also important to note that Jordan Love has dealt with injuries throughout the 2024-25 season, and Green Bay could look to take some pressure off of him if possible.
Jacobs is a running back who can handle a massive workload, and that could be the case again this weekend.
What to bet: Josh Jacobs 70+ rushing yards through 120+ rushing yards
George Pickens Receiving Yards Ladder
Pickens has performed well this season, but it feels like his numbers could be drastically better. He brings 40 receptions, 639 yards, and 2 touchdowns on 63 targets into this game. He’s posted 90+ yards in three of his last six games as well.
Pickens isn’t always worked heavily into the game plan. He’s seen 9+ targets in only two games this season, posting 113 and 111 yards in those games. He’s averaged 17.7 or more yards per reception in each of his last four games, and volume is the next step.
Pickens gets an elite matchup against the Baltimore Ravens this week. They’re allowing the second-most receiving yards (199.2) per game to opposing wide receivers. The Ravens are also giving up 13.8 yards per reception.
As you know from above, I expect Baltimore to be leading in this game, leaving Pittsburgh to throw more. If that’s the case, we could get a game where Pickens sees more targets. The Pittsburgh Steelers have the potential to throw for 300+ yards in this game, and that raises their star receivers’ ceiling drastically.
What to bet: George Pickens 70+ receiving yards through 120+ receiving yards
