| 0:00.0 | It's time to hit some Monday night football props here on CBS Sports Network. |
| 0:09.2 | Larry, get us started. We're going to start with a passing prop. |
| 0:13.5 | Well, Jared Goff loves being not under pressure. Our 130 passer rating, that's been his history |
| 0:18.8 | wherever he's been. And tonight, we know the Ravens won't have their top two pass a rating. That's been his history wherever he's been. And tonight, we know the Ravens |
| 0:21.8 | won't have their top two pass rushers. We also know that Nate Wiggins and Marlon Humphrey are |
| 0:26.6 | dealing with groin injuries. Both will be out there, but they could be affected. And this is a |
| 0:31.5 | Ravens team that's given up almost 300 yards passing per game so far. We could also have a |
| 0:36.9 | trailing game script for the Lions |
| 0:38.9 | as significant underdogs. All of that said, I love Jared Goff to go over 260 and a half passing |
| 0:45.4 | yards because of everything I just laid out. Mackenzie, Jared Goff's over, I'm sure, looks appealing |
| 0:51.3 | with this game total in that 53 and a half range. But you're going the other way in terms of Lamar. You like the over, but you're just going to a different quarterback. Yeah. I mean, the sooner we realize that Lamar Jackson is the NFL's leading career passer rating, sooner we just get that through our heads and that he's actually good at passing the ball to his wide receivers on top of running the ball, the more money will all be making. His line was as low as 2.15 and a half |
| 1:15.5 | at the beginning of last week. Now you can get it at 2.30, 2.35. I still like all of them because this is |
| 1:21.4 | a guy who's averaging 240 yards going back to last season. He almost put up 300 against the Lions |
| 1:27.2 | last season. And as I mentioned earlier, |
| 1:29.3 | he doesn't have his tight ends for these short checkdowns. And he's having success finding these new guys. |
| 1:34.3 | I mean, even Walker has three receptions, all of them are touchdowns. Like he's having success with these |
| 1:39.3 | other guys with these wide receiver two, three, four. I think DeAndre Hopkins has been phenomenal |
| 1:43.5 | for him too. Doesn't need any, you need any separation to catch a ball here. So either game script, whether they're getting up because they are passing the ball well or they're playing from behind, it's again just asking Lamar Jackson to do what he typically does through the air. I don't know why these lines always feel so low to me. Yeah, that's fair. I mean, 215 early is pretty criminal there. I absolutely love the over there. And certainly at 231.1 or so, looks pretty good. Danny Brascoe, talk to me about Jared Golf attempts. Yeah, mine correlates with Larry. And I don't know if I'll get to the window with this, but I lean towards an inflated number still over 34 and a a half pass attempts for Jared Gough. I think the game script is going to play out in the favor of him having to air out the ball. I see the lions having being down in this game. And Larry mentioned a number of pass rushers that are out for the Ravens, but someone that they've sorely missed in the secondary is Ardarius Washington. He's not talked about enough. He was one of the top rated defensive backs in PFF last season, and they've really been weak without him. So I think also without Frank Ragnow at center, the lion's run blocking is not as dynamic. You lose two pass rushers for the Ravens. Maybe they feel a little more comfortable sitting back, dropping back to pass, especially if they're down in this game. So I think he's going to chuck the ball around. We see a high score and we see a lot of pass attempts from Jared Goff. All right, Larry, I'm going to go right back to you. Give me a rushing prop you like for Monday night football. Justice Hill, under six and a half yards for his longest rush. He has not done it yet this year. He only gets two or three carries. I mean, his attempts prop is two and a half. But after what happened last week where Derek Henry only got |
| 3:12.2 | 11 carries, only got 23 yards against the Browns, and now his prop is up at 19 carries, 18 and |
| 3:19.0 | a half juiced over. So it's going to be a Derek Henry game. I'm not sure Justice Hill is going to |
| 3:23.7 | get a carry unless it gets out of hand. |
| 3:26.9 | You know, he may be featured in the passing game where he's more effective, |
