NFL Player Props for Oct 9th

NFL Player Props for Week 5 in the NFL – ASA

Kenny Pickett Over 18.5 Rush Yards (-115)

Last week Pickett rushed for 15 yards on 6 carries, also punching in 2 rushing touchdowns. Additionally, the rookie from Pitt threw 3 Ints on his 13 pass attempts. With a full week of first team reps, Pickett will lead the Steelers into Buffalo for a baptism by fire. Mike Tomlin will pull out all the stops to get his team off a 3 game losing streak, including utilizing his QBs running ability to limit turnovers. Pickett will need to scramble regularly in a game that the Steelers should be playing from behind. 

Cooper Kupp Over 8.5 Recs (-105)

Kupp is arguably the best WR in football currently, averaging 10.5 receptions per game so far this year. Sean McVay schemes Kupp open and Matthew Stafford rarely looks to go elsewhere with the ball. Dallas has been stingy against the pass, ranking 6th in pass yards per game in 2022. However, Kupp should continue to see massive volume in the short and intermediate route concepts that will allow the Rams to get the ball out quick. 

DJ Moore Under 50.5 Rec Yards (-115)

The Panthers offense has been abysmal this year, ranking dead last in yards per game. Everyone thought Baker Mayfield would be an upgrade over Sam Darnold, but we’ve seen much of the same. DJ Moore is averaging 34.5 yards per game, and is fresh off an uninspiring 6 for 50 against the Cardinals depleted secondary. San Francisco’s defense ranks first in both sacks and points allowed, making for a long afternoon for Carolina’s offense.

Free College Bet Kent State vs Miami OH prediction

Free College Bet – Kent State -5.5 at Miami OH, 3:30PM ET

Free college bet brought to you by ASA. These were the two favorites to win the MAC East this season, but Miami lost their starting QB Gabbert and have struggled without him. Backup Aveon Smith is a capable runner, but he’s thrown for under 155 passing yards in every start this season which makes Miami one-dimensional on offense.  If you happened to miss it, last week Kent State put up over 735 total yards of offense in a win over Ohio U. The 31-points they scored in that game should have been more, but key turnovers or fumbles cost them multiple points. Kent has played one of the toughest schedules in college football with three games against Oklahoma, Washington and Georgia. That’s a big reason why you can throw out their defensive rankings for the season which have them near the bottom in several key categories. Interestingly enough, the Redhawks have some dismal defensive numbers of their own, but they haven’t faced near the schedule Kent has. Miami’s two toughest games were against Kentucky and Cincinnati which they lost by 24 and 21-points respectively. Last week the Golden Flashes RB Marquez Cooper had 240-rushing yards against Ohio U and we expect another big game from him here.

NFL Player Props Thursday NFL Steelers vs. Browns

NFL player prop bets for Thursday, Sept 22nd 2022

KAREEM HUNT – OVER 16.5 RECEIVING YARDS – Hunt had 16 receiving yards last week against the Jets and 24 the week before versus Carolina. Dating back to last season he has averaged 23-receiving yards per game. Hunt has been targeted 6 times in two games and should see his fair share of looks in this game. Pittsburgh was 14th in the NFL a year ago in receiving yards allowed to running backs at an average of 38.2 per game. With the high winds in Cleveland tonight expect plenty of check-downs to the backs.

NICK CHUBB – OVER 6.5 RECEIVING YARDS – Pittsburgh was 14th in the NFL a year ago in receiving yards allowed to running backs at an average of 38.2 per game. With the high winds in Cleveland tonight expect plenty of check-downs to the backs. Chubb literally needs just one ball thrown his way to eclipse this number. Last week he had 26-receiving yards on 3-receptions with 3 targets. Last season Chubb averaged 1.7 receptions per game and 12.4-receiving yards per contest.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS – UNDER 16.5 POINTS – The Steelers are averaging 18.5PPG which is 22nd in the NFL. That average is misleading though as they have just 1 offensive TD on the season. Pittsburgh is 30th in both yards per game gained and Yards Per Play at 4.3. The Steelers have just 2 Red Zone attempts this season and have benefitted with great field position with turnovers forced by their defense (6 in two games). The Steelers current estimated points per game is 14.5, one of the lowest numbers in the NFL. The windy conditions certainly won’t help in this one. Bet Under.

ASA Free college football bet BYU vs. South Florida – Sept 3

ASA free college bet on BYU / SOUTH FLORIDA OVER 58 total points

These two teams produced 62 total points a year ago and went OVER the total of 53.5.

Both return a ton of production from a year ago and shouldn’t miss a beat heading into this season. BYU returns 88% of their productions, South Florida 86%. Neither defense was very good a year ago and should give up points in the opener. The Bulls ranked: 117th in Points Allowed Per game 36.3. 97th in Yards Per Point Allowed at 13.2. South Florida gave up 40 or more points in 6 of 12 games. BYU had a few issues of their own defensively: The Cougars ranked 103rd in Red Zone Scoring Percentages allowed at 88.37. 108th in 3rd Down Conversions Per Game Allowed. 51st in Points Per Game allowed (25.7PPG). Overall, when it came to defensive efficiency BYU was 83rd overall, SF was 120th.  BYU had the 4th most efficient offense in college football a season ago and put up an average of 30.9PPG. With 8 starters back on that side of the football the Cougars will be as good if not better this season. South Florida was 83rd in OFEI last year but will be MUCH better with nearly everyone back. The Bulls averaged 21.8PPG and did score 27+ in 6 of their last ten a year ago. The number is set slightly to low on this game and we will bet the OVER.

ASA NFL free pick Packers vs. Saints, Friday 8PM ET

NFL free pick Green Bay Packers -3 vs. New Orleans Saints

ASA has you covered with a free NFL pick on Friday evening when the Saints and Packers meet in Green Bay. The Packers offense looked much better than the Saints in the opening game, the defenses were about even. Green Bay’s offense will be the difference in this game.

The Packers had over 430-yards of total offense last week  at 6.6 YPPL against a very good 49ers defense. They turned the ball over too many times though which cost them dearly.  QB Jordan Love was 13/24 for 176 passing yards with 2 TD’s but also threw 3 INT’s. Two of those picks were basically on his WR’s. The running game was solid with RB Tyler Goodson who ran for 37 yards on 12 carries.

The Packer defense is going to be improved this season and had a tremendous week of practice against the Saints. Last week, Green Bay’s defense held the Niners to just 328 total yards (6.07 YPPL).

The Saints QB’s Ian Book and Andy Dalton didn’t show much in their preseason opener with 140 yards passing against a bad Texans defense in the opener.

The Saints running game struggled with 3.5-Yards per Carry or 130YDS on 37 touches. Overall, the Saints offense mustered just 270 total yards against a Texans defense that was 23rd in Defensive efficiency a year ago.

The Saints defense played well allowing just 275 total yards or 5.18YPPL last week but that came against a Texans offense that isn’t very good.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur is on an 0-4 SU preseason run but should snap that streak with a winning football bet here.

This is the Packers only home game and they are off a loss in San Francisco so expect a little extra motivation here and a win by more than 3-points.
