Packers vs. Raiders Player Props for MNF
- Josh Jacobs o70.5 Rushing Yards
- Jordan Love u242.5 Passing Yards
- A.J. Cole More Than 3.5 Punts
Josh Jacobs o70.5 Rushing Yards (-120), PointsBet
Ahead of kickoff this evening, the Green Bay defense ranks 29th in defensive Rush EPA/play and 24th in defensive Rush success rate so far this season. Last week, Green Bay allowed David Montgomery to tally 121 rushing yards and 3 scores on the ground, with his backfield mate, Jahmyr Gibbs, adding an additional 40 rushing yards on only 8 attempts. Josh Jacobs has gotten off to a slow start this season, failing to amass more than 62 rushing yards in any individual game, but the volume has still been extremely high, with at least 17 carries in three of four games. Assuming Jacobs sees at least 15 carries on Monday, he will have a great opportunity to hit the over here.
Jordan Love u242.5 Passing Yards (-115), BetMGM
Following an extremely poor start to the season, the Las Vegas defense has shown some life in their last two games, with a pair of 30.6%+ pressure rates on the defensive side of the ball. In Week 4, Las Vegas ranked 7th out of 32 defenses with a 38.5% pressure rate. Jordan Love has performed well from a clean pocket this fall, but he has completed only 33.3% of his pass attempts for 4.2 yards per attempt when under pressure, according to PFF. If the Raiders can continue to get pressure on the quarterback, it could be another tough night for Love and the Green Bay offense.
NFL DFS Pick’em
A.J. Cole More Than 3.5 Punts, PrizePicks
According to Warren Sharp, the Las Vegas offense has seen 64% of their drives end with a punt or a turnover through their first four games. Only Carolina, Cleveland, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and New England had a worse rate in this metric entering the weekend. A.J. Cole has punted the ball at least three times in each of the Raiders’ last three games and has punted five times each across the last two weeks of action. If Las Vegas has 10 drives tonight, it would not be surprising to see them forced to punt four times.
