PrizePicks Plays: Patriots vs. Broncos
- Javonte Williams – More Than 0.5 Touchdowns
- DeVante Parker – More Than 35.5 Receiving Yards
- Bailey Zappe – More Than 181.5 Passing Yards
Javonte Williams – 0.5 Touchdowns
Javonte Williams to score a touchdown tonight is the first exclusively “Demon” of the NFL PrizePicks predictions this season. There are no combos available with Javonte tonight, but I don’t care. I would’ve selected him to score tonight even without the Demon payout boost. He has a 0.49 median touchdown projection in the RotoGrinders projection system, but I’m thinking we see a ceiling game tonight. The Broncos are 7.5-point favorites at home, and they’re likely to ride their top back in the entire second half.
Play: Williams – More Than 0.5 Touchdowns
DeVante Parker – 35.5 Receiving Yards
Since we’re expecting the Patriots to be coming from behind tonight, they’re going to have to pass the ball a ton in the second half. Parker has had over 40 receiving yards in the past 3 games he’s played, and although the matchup is tough, his big-play ability grants him the potential to eclipse this total with a single deep bomb. Bailey Zappe has looked serviceable so far and DeVante Parker projects for nearly 42 yards tonight in the RotoGrinders projections. I’m tempted to even look at Parker’s Demon projection tonight of 59.5 yards as well.
Play: Parker – More Than 35.5 Receiving Yards
Bailey Zappe – 181.5 Passing Yards
While he hasn’t necessarily sold fans as the QB of the Patriots’ future, Zappe has definitely been an improvement over Mac Jones. He has averaged 210 yards per game over his past two starts and tonight projects for just shy of 190 yards in the RotoGrinders projections. The Patriots are more than touchdown underdogs tonight, so Zappe is likely going to be throwing the ball a bit extra in garbage time.
