Panthers vs. Falcons Player Prop
Against Falcons, Miles Sanders’ rushing yards prop is 29.5. Taking the over has a payout of -119, while the under pays at -113. The implied odds for the under are 53%.
Miles Sanders is ranked 32nd among running backs in rushing attempts so far, having gained 399 yards. His average yards per carry heading into this week’s game is 3. According to my projections, his prop of 29.5 yards line appears to be set too high, and I advise taking the under at -113.
- The Prop: Miles Sanders Under 29.5 Rushing Yards (-113)
Panthers VS. Falcons Predictions
From the time the lines were first established, Atlanta has shifted from -2.5 point favorites to their present line of -3.
Even though the Falcons are favored to pick up the win, I don’t like how their defense finished their last game. I see the Panthers covering the spread as three-point underdogs.
