Week 8 of Propageddon featured the tie to honor the firing of Hue Jackson. Three touts tied at 10 out of 14 correct: last week’s winner Pat Fitzmaurice (@Fitz_FF), Brandon Gdula (@Gdula13), and our own Rudy Gamble (@rudygamble). There was also a three-way tie on the reader side at 9 correct: @andrewkdewhirst (second straight), @evanklotzman, and gt.sundown. Any of you could have taken solo possession of first by grabbing the bonus point for sharing the post. Perhaps you’ll consider it this week. At stake is not only a free 7-day trial of Rudy’s tools, but Rudy will name his next predictatronomizer after the best reader (maybe). To get the extra credit just share your favorite prop of the week on any social media. THIS WEEK’S PROPS are live so get crunching. You can see the response distribution of the touts here.
Who will score more touchdowns?
- Todd Gurley {71%}
- The Buffalo Bills or tie {29%}
Gurley has outscored the Bills singlehandedly this season, 96 to 87. Let’s put it into practice. Can one man outscore an entire team? It’s a tall task, but the touts lean heavy toward TGII.
Will the price of the top scoring WR on the FanDuel main slate be O/U $8000?
- Over {66.7%}
- Under {33.3%}
The under looks nice here with more bullets and the solid production of mid-priced players. It’s still a tall task to outscore Adam Thielen right now.
Which will be higher?
- Pat Mahomes completions {74.2%}
- Browns points scored or tie {25.8%}
The second of our one vs many props. This one is mainly a guess at how many points the Browns will score. Personally, I think they’re toast even against a poor Chiefs defense. The majority agrees or at least expects Mahomes to keep doing Mahomes things.
- Courtland Sutton {41.9%}
- DJ Moore {38.7%}
- Tre’Quan Smith {19.4%}
All three rookie receivers are in terrific spots to have a statement game. I like Smith in the Ted Ginn role at the lowest ownership, and at home in a game with a 60 point total. Sutton gets his chance shine after DT got shipped and Moore faces the Tampa Bay secondary so it’s anyone’s game.
Who will score more touchdowns?
- Ben Roethlisberger {64.5%}
- James Conner or tie {35.5%}
Road Ben, the Ravens defense, and no LeVeon make this one plausible. A 2-2 tie is the most likely path for the Conner backers. It’s still hard to outscore a QB in any given spot.
Who will score more FanDuel points?
- Cam Newton {83.9%}
- Ryan Fitzpatrick or tie {16.1%}
Many have Cam pegged as the top QB of the week. The Tampa Bay QB has had ridiculous production this season. For the record, I took Cam here. It’s terrifying picking against FitzMagic, though.
Who will have the most receiving yards?
- Tyler Lockett {35.5%}
- Doug Baldwin {32.3%}
- David Moore {3.2%}
- Melvin Gordon {29%}
I wanted to do a prop on the lack of predictability in Seattle’s passing game. That Melvin Gordon is involved made a nice kicker. One lone tout has some great leverage if David Moore goes off again.
