We are back in it for another week of NFL action. With the season hitting the midway point, these games begin to matter more and more. This Week 9 Thursday Night Football matchup sees the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Tennessee Titans. Here are my plays for the game
Check out the latest episodes of the JCPod for my full breakdowns. All odds are from FanDuel, DraftKings, and BetMGM.
Straights
Steelers Moneyline (-150) (boosted it to -116 with 30% boost mgm)
Will Levis had a really strong game last week. He had 260+ pass yards and four touchdown passes. For this Week 9 Thursday Night Football matchup, I see the Steelers defense playing strong. This is Levis’s second start of his career, and I do not see the Steelers giving up as many deep shots. Kenny Pickett is for sure playing as well, so I look for the Steelers to defend the home field. Give me the Steelers to win this game.
Props
DeAndre Hopkins anytime touchdown (+220)
When it comes to NBA Jam rules, Hopkins did it in one game. Scoring three touchdowns in one game is super impressive. With the rookie Levis in, I see DHop to start getting more involved in the passing game. For those of you who do not know, we live by NBA Jams rules over here. You score in three games in a row, it’s an auto bet for me. Hopkins did it all in one game, but that number is still three. Give me Hopkins to stay hot and score another touchdown.
DeAndre Hopkins over 53.5 receiving yards (-113)
In line with my thoughts above, I see Deandre Hopkins being a bigger part of this offense with Will Levis at the helm. He has a lot less fear of throwing it to DHop than Ryan Tannehill does. Tannehill seems scared to throw it up into double coverage sometimes, while Levis does not have that fear. As a rookie, having Hopkins on the outside is a pretty sweet safety blanket to have. Give me DHops receiving over.
Parnell’s Nasty Boy Parlay Play of the Day
For this Week 9 nasty boy, we try to make it two in a row. We hit Monday nights nasty boy, and boy was that a great feeling. If you are following me with this series (and betting the same amount every week), we are ahead on the year. For tonight’s game, I am mixing in some bets I liked but didn’t take with some bets I did like and took. I was able to get odds of +1833:
- Steelers moneyline (-154)
- DeAndre Hopkins anytime touchdown (+220)
- Will Levis over 10.5v rush yards (-122)
- Kenny Pickett over 9.5 rush yards (-106)
