The Falcons take on the Giants with Michael Penix Jr. making his first career start at quarterback for Atlanta. Here are some Bijan Robinson prop bets to consider at DraftKings Sportsbook.
Bijan Robinson prop bets
Here are Bijan Robinson’s current prop bet odds at DraftKings Sportsbook: o/u 89.5 rushing yards, o/u 3.5 receptions and o/u 21.5 receiving yards. Robinson is -215 to score a touchdown, +260 to score 2+ touchdowns and +280 to score the first touchdown of the game.
Bijan Robinson is having an underrated season for the Falcons. He ranks 5th in the league in rushing yards despite the Falcons having an up-and-down season as a team. This is a massive week for the Falcons as they have officially made a change at quarterback, going from Kirk Cousins to Michael Penix Jr. It has been reported that Cousins will likely be released by the Falcons at the end of the season, so this is not a short-term change, Penix is the quarterback of the future in Atlanta.
There should not be a significant change in Robinson’s role, despite the quarterback change. Michael Penix Jr. and Kirk Cousins are both traditional pocket passers and like to push the ball downfield. Therefore, the playcalling and share of touches for Robinson should remain steady going forward. Robinson has been playing some of his best football of the season over the past few weeks. Robinson has 92 or more rushing yards in four of his past five games, with four touchdowns over that stretch as well.
Robinson should keep the positive momentum coming into this game. Cousins has really struggled over the past few weeks and Penix should add a jolt of electricity to this offense. An improved passing game will only help open things up on the ground for Robinson. He should get a healthy dose of action in this game to make things easier on the rookie quarterback. The Giants rank 24th in defensive EPA/rush, 25th in defensive rushing success rate and 31st in opponent rushing yards per game. Robinson should be able to rack up some big rushes against this defense and clear his rushing prop for the fourth straight game.
Pick: Bijan Robinson o89.5 rushing yards (-115)
