After starting Week Three 2-0 on NFL<\/a> props from Thursday Night Football, it\u2019s time to keep the profits rolling in. As always, I advise shopping around for the best lines possible. Here are the rest of the plays I\u2019m on for Week Three:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Carter over 2.5 receptions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If it ain\u2019t broke, don\u2019t fix it. After hitting on Michael Carter receiving props the last two weeks, I\u2019m going back to the well on this play and I\u2019ll continue to do so every week until the books adjust or Carter\u2019s role diminishes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oddsmakers continue to treat the Jets<\/a> backfield as if it belongs exclusively to Breece Hall, which it undoubtedly will one day\u2026 but that day isn\u2019t today. Carter has amassed 14 targets in two games and is going to continue to be an active pass catcher as long as Joe Flacco is starting at quarterback. He\u2019s a favorite among coaches too, so there is no reason to believe his playing time will suddenly decrease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They say good things come in threes, and my Michael Carter overs are 2-0 on the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tee Higgins anytime TD +130 <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

How often can you find a true alpha wide receiver with a great matchup at plus money to score a touchdown? At 6\u20194\u201d Higgins is a massive red zone target who often sees single coverage against an opponent’s number two cornerback due to the added attention given to teammate Ja\u2019Marr Chase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After leaving their season opener with a concussion, Higgins hit double-digit targets in Week Two and found the endzone. This week Higgins faces a Jets defense that has allowed 54 points through two games this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a perfect get-right game for quarterback Joe Burrow and the Bengals passing attack, which will lead to plenty of opportunities for Higgins to hit paydirt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kyle Pitts over 3.5 receptions <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After posting historic receiving numbers during his rookie campaign, Pitts has had a slow start to his sophomore season. Now, it\u2019s time to take advantage as he gets an enticing matchup in Week Three against a vulnerable Seattle defense. It\u2019s important to understand why Pitts has fallen well short of expectations through two weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He had a tough matchup with plenty of targets in Week One, but saw only 3 targets last week against the Rams<\/a>. The reason for his lack of targets? Double coverage. The Rams defense made it a point to take Pitts away but in doing so allowed rookie wideout Drake London to have a breakout game. With another legitimate playmaking threat emerging on Atlanta\u2019s offense, teams won\u2019t be able to simply game plan around stopping Pitts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atlanta\u2019s head coach is also taking a ton of heat in the media over the lack of production and targets for Pitts, and as the old saying goes, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marquise Brown under 5.5 receptions <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To this point in his career, Brown has never been a player that commands high volume. He\u2019s not known for being particularly efficient, either. Despite being a boom or bust player who relies on big, explosive plays he did record 6 receptions last week on 11 targets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I\u2019m banking on that being due to overtime more so than extra targets for Brown being a part of the weekly game plan. It\u2019s also very likely that Brown will draw coverage from Jalen Ramsey more often than not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brown won\u2019t be able to hide from Ramsey in the slot, as the Rams have shown they won\u2019t shy away from moving Ramsey inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Andrews under 60.5 yards receiving <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Patriots<\/a> have a treasure trove of versatile safeties that they frequently deploy as tight end stoppers. On top of that, head coach Bill Belichick\u2019s defensive game plan typically begins by making his opponents \u201cplay left-handed\u201d by taking away their best player, which in this case is clearly Andrews.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This play will be one to monitor on Sunday morning, however, as versatile safety Kyle Dugger is listed as questionable to suit up for the Patriots. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
