NFL Week 4 Props + $1000 GIVEAWAY

Blickle came on the NEW AND IMPROVED Saturday Update show and helped collab on a +21904 Underdog entry. If it wins, I’m giving ONE LUCKY PERSON $1000!!!!

BLICKLE’S PROPS

Rashod Bateman (Lower than 4.5 targets): Blickle’s favorite play of the year. Bateman has only gone over this number twice since the start of last season, has very low involvement in the offense when Zay Flowers plays, and faces a projected game script where Baltimore will likely lean heavily on Derrick Henry and be up big late.
Zach Ertz (Over 2.5 receptions): With Dallas Goedert and DeVonta Smith out, coupled with the expectation that the Eagles will be trailing against a strong Rams offense and forced to throw frequently.

MAYO PROPS

Darius Slayton (Higher than 13.5 receiving yards, laddered up to 24.5+ yards): With his historically high average depth of target (aDOT) and explosive play potential, Slayton can easily clear these lines on just a single reception… if he gets targetted.
Treylon Burks (Higher than 12.5 receiving yards): All the low total Washington receiving game props are in play with Terry McLaurin expected out.
Emanuel Wilson (Higher than 52.5 rushing yards): Jadarian Price is now on IR and Zach Charbonnet still a week or so away, the team will want to lean on Wilson in the running game as seven-point favorites against the Chargers. If they get down or get forced into extreme passing situation, we cooked.
Carnell Tate (Higher than 17.5 yards on longest reception): Longest reception over a full yardage total because it only requires one good intermediate to deep throw from Cam Ward for him to break a play downfield, and Ward may only have one good one in him.
Brenton Strange (Higher than 35.5 receiving yards): Cincinnati’s recurring defensive vulnerabilities against tight ends. This is all.
Matthew Golden (Higher than 56.5 receiving yards): Matchup against Tampa Bay’s secondary. The Buccaneers can stuff the run and they struggle heavily to defend the deep pass.

If you comment your favorite prop in the video or audio podcast on the show (and it wins!), you’ll get into a $1000 draw if this Underdog entry wins. Also, you can play along with us here too!
