NFL Props: Steelers-Browns
Najee Harris Over 17.5 Rush Attempts
The Pittsburgh Steelers can keep their playoff hopes alive with a win over the Cleveland Browns tonight, so I expect them to lean heavily on their first-round pick Najee Harris here.
I'm projecting Pittsburgh to have around 25 rush attempts on Monday Night Football, with Harris getting approximately 80% of them. The most likely outcome tonight is for Harris to get 19 rush attempts, and here is the breakdown of my projected odds for this market:
| Rush Attempts | Over | Under |
|---|---|---|
| 16.5 | 73.1% | 26.9% |
| 17.5 | 64.0% | 36.0% |
| 18.5 | 54.1% | 45.9% |
| 19.5 | 43.9% | 56.1% |
| 20.5 | 34.1% | 65.9% |
Given my projections, I would bet this up to -155.
Pick: Over 17.5 Rush Attempts (-135) at DraftKings
What Are NFL Player Prop Bets?
Bets on a player's statistics or various outcomes can be considered a player prop. Betting on the over or under on a quarterback's passing yards, over or under on a wide receiver's number of receptions, and whether a running back will score a touchdown are all considered player props.
