The Lions face the Colts on Sunday in a cross-conference matchup. Here are some Amon-Ra St. Brown prop bets to consider at DraftKings Sportsbook.
Amon-Ra St. Brown Prop Bets
Here are Amon-Ra St. Brown’s current prop bet odds at DraftKings Sportsbook: o/u 74.5 receiving yards. St. Brown is -135 to score a touchdown, +425 to score 2+ touchdowns, and +550 to score the first touchdown of the game.
Amon-Ra St. Brown is having another great season for the Lions. He ranks 5th in the league in receptions, 12th in receiving yards and second in receiving touchdowns. St. Brown has now scored a touchdown in eight straight games, including two scores last week against Jacksonville. In fact, St. Brown had his best game of the season against Jacksonville going for 11 catches, 161 yards and two scores. That explosive offensive performance against Jacksonville won’t be sustainable every week for St. Brown or the Lions as a team, but they should still be productive in this game against the Colts.
The Lions have scored three or more touchdowns in eight straight games this season. They lead the league in points per game, points per play and offensive touchdowns per game. That is why their top receiver, Amon-Ra St. Brown, is consistently finding the end zone. When a team creates that many scoring opportunities, the best players will find their way into the end zone. This week, they face a Colts defense that ranks 27th in the league in red zone scoring attempts per game with 3.6 and ranks 16th in red zone defense.
The Colts are allowing an average of 3.6 red zone trips per game to their opponents, but the Lions get into the red zone more than almost any team in the league. That is going to create a lot of scoring chances for the Lions which will likely result in St. Brown finding the end zone for the ninth straight game. Other star receivers can be victims of their own talent because opposing defenses just try to completely take them away and see if the rest of the team can beat them. However, the Lions have so many dangerous skill position players that defenses can’t afford to focus on St. Brown. Jared Goff will pick the right opportunity to get the ball to St. Brown in space and let him find the end zone.
Pick: Amon-Ra St. Brown Anytime Touchdown (-135)
