Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Chuba Hubbard / Over Rushing Yards / 60.5 at -110 / 70% / Hubbard’s 75% hit rate on 60+ yards in recent games, bolstered by Panthers’ run-heavy scheme against Saints’ 28th-ranked rush defense allowing 4.8 YPC.

Player Prop #2: Chris Olave / Over Receiving Yards / 55.5 at -115 / 65% / Olave averages 68 yards per game with high target share (25%), facing Panthers’ secondary vulnerable to deep passes (top-5 in yards allowed to WRs).

Player Prop #3: Bryce Young / Under Passing TDs / 1.5 at -120 / 68% / Young’s conservative play-calling limits multi-TD games (only 20% rate), matched against Saints’ stout red-zone defense (35% TD rate allowed).

Analysis Summary

Contextual factors like Saints’ key defensive injuries further tilt value toward Carolina’s ground attack.
