The Steelers are hosting the Ravens in a crucial divisional matchup on Sunday. Here are some George Pickens prop bets to consider at DraftKings Sportsbook.
George Pickens Prop Bets
Here are George Pickens’ current prop bet odds at DraftKings Sportsbook: o/u 4.5 receptions (O -145, U +110) and o/u 69.5 receiving yards (O -115, U -115). Pickens is +130 to score a touchdown, +950 to score 2+ touchdowns, and +950 to score the first touchdown of the game.
Pickens is having a breakout season for the Steelers and is emerging as a true WR1. Since Russell Wilson took over as the starting quarterback, Pickens is averaging 92 receiving yards per game and has found the end zone twice. The explosive pass game has been incredible from Pickens all season. The 23-year-old is now averaging 16 yards per reception, and is the only receiver in the league with 630+ receiving yards while averaging 16+ yards per catch. His ability to be a consistently explosive receiver is literally unmatched, and it has only gotten better with Wilson at QB.
The Ravens’ secondary is a very good matchup for Pickens. The Baltimore offense has been so good that they have covered up a lot of the team’s flaws, but their secondary is among the worst in the league. The Ravens are 29th in yards allowed per pass attempt, 30th in defensive EPA/dropback, and dead last in passing yards allowed per game. They are, however, the second-best run defense in the league in EPA/rush. That means the Steelers should have a very pass-heavy attack against Baltimore on Sunday.
Last week, I bet on Pickens to clear his longest reception prop of 25.5 yards. He hit it with a 34-yard reception against the Commanders. This week, his longest reception prop is one yard higher at 26.5 yards, but I am taking it again. I am also betting on Pickens to score a touchdown at +130. He is arguably the most explosive wide receiver in the league since Wilson took over and has had a reception of 34 yards or greater in every game with the veteran starting. Even before that, Pickens had a reception over 26.5 yards in four out of six games with Justin Fields. Pickens should be able to exploit the vulnerable Baltimore secondary for multiple explosive plays and find his way into the end zone.
Pick: George Pickens Longest Reception Over 26.5 Yards (-120); Anytime Touchdown (+130)
