NFL Week 10 odds preview: Best prop betting picks for Amari Cooper, Derrick Henry, and Josh Jacobs
Amari Cooper under 52.5 receiving yards vs. the Ravens (-110 or better)
Deshaun Watson missed Cleveland’s last four games with injury but returned in Week 9, much to the delight of Cooper. Amari caught all five of his targets for a season-high 139 yards and a touchdown.
Expect regression vs. a suffocating Ravens’ defense allowing the second-fewest passing yards per game. When the Browns and Ravens squared off in Week 4, Cooper reeled in only one of his six targets for 16 yards.
That was Cleveland’s first game without Watson, and Dorian Thompson-Robinson struggled in relief. Cooper won’t perform as poorly in round two vs. Baltimore but this remains a week to fade the former Raider.
Derrick Henry anytime touchdown scorer vs. the Buccaneers (+125 or better)
The three-time Pro Bowler wasn’t his usual self early in the year due to inconsistent carry counts. In the last three games, Henry has had 75+ yards and scored touchdowns in two matchups.
Henry received 22 touches in the Titans’ Week 9 defeat, tied for the second-most this season. Tampa Bay has a top-10 run defense, making this a week to steer clear of Derrick’s rushing yards prop.
In goal-line situations, Henry is still Mike Vrabel’s go-to guy.
Josh Jacobs over 66.5 rushing yards vs. the Jets (-115 or better)
The vibes in the Raiders locker room changed for the better following the firing of Josh McDaniels. After Las Vegas’ Week 9 win vs. the Giants, players lit cigars in celebration.
Jacobs had his best game of the year against the G-Men, rushing for 98 yards and two touchdowns. The Jets’ defense is one of the best in the NFL, allowing the eighth-fewest points per game.
However, Gang Green struggles to contain opposing ball carriers. New York surrenders 137 rushing yards per game, the third-worst mark in football.
