Thursday Night Football's Saints vs. Cardinals matchup could very well be a dud of a game offensively – for one team.
Andy Dalton has no elite skill position players available to him besides Alvin Kamara. And the Cardinals have allowed only two of the last 22 QBs they've faced to go over their passing yards total. It may be a long night for New Orleans.
For the Cardinals offense, though, the public is bullish. DeAndre Hopkins and Kyler Murray highlight the three most popular player props for Thursday Night Football's Saints vs. Cardinals.
Hopkins is returning for his first game since a six-game suspension for violating the league's drug policy.

Saints vs. Cardinals Most Popular NFL Player Prop Bets
- DeAndre Hopkins to score the first touchdown of the game (+700)
- DeAndre Hopkins to score a touchdown at any time (+125)
- Kyler Murray over 33.5 rushing yards (-115)
*Odds and data are according to BetMGM as of Thursday morning.
One of our premier data gurus, Nick Giffen, assessed the value on all of these props and said the best line was Murray's under on rushing yards.
The predictive analytics team gives Murray's under at 34.5 roughly a 4% betting edge. They project the line should be priced at 32. That line is available at DraftKings at a vig of -115.
The over, of course, has no value as a result.
The fair value for Hopkins to score the first touchdown is +900 while his anytime TD value should be +175. At a +700 clip that's about 2.5% less value.
At +125, that's a loss in about 8% of value.
