Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Baker Mayfield / Over Passing Yards / 275.5 / -110 / 70% / Mayfield’s 68% completion rate and 8.2 YPA in recent home games align with a favorable matchup against a Patriots pass defense allowing 240+ yards per game, especially with Diggs drawing coverage elsewhere.
Player Prop #2: Drake Maye / Under Passing Touchdowns / 1.5 / -115 / 65% / Maye’s 1.1 TDs per game average drops against Buccaneers’ top-10 red-zone defense, compounded by Stevenson’s absence limiting run support and forcing conservative play-calling.
Player Prop #3: Rachaad White / Over Rushing Yards / 60.5 / -105 / 68% / With Irving sidelined, White’s 4.8 YPC and increased workload (75+ yards in 70% of starts without Irving) exploit a Patriots run defense yielding 120 rushing yards per game lately.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors the surging Patriots due to their six-game win streak, but sharp money flows to the Buccaneers on home soil, creating divergence that supports fading the public. Injuries decimate both offenses—Godwin and Evans out for Tampa Bay, Stevenson and Boutte sidelined for New England—aligning with mathematical edges on the spread and under. Overall, expect a gritty, low-scoring battle under 48.5 total points, with Buccaneers’ defense holding the key advantage.
