Sunday Night Football has a juicy NFC matchup between the 6-3 Detroit Lions and the 7-2 Philadelphia Eagles. This could be a playoff preview, and possibly even an early look at the NFC Championship. Home field and seeding could be impacted by this big Sunday matchup. Amon-Ra St. Brown will be an important piece of the Lions’ plan of attack against the Eagles, so let’s take a look at the top prop best for the Lions top receiver this week.
In the bigger picture, the Lions are 2.5-point road underdogs on DraftKings Sportsbook, with the point total at 46.5. The Lions bounced back from a tough loss to theVikings by crushing the Commanders last week, while the Eagles have won three straight after winning in Green Bay on Monday.
Let’s take a look at my top player prop bets for ARSB this week on Sunday Night Football.
Best Amon-Ra St. Brown Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Amon-Ra St. Brown under 77.5 receiving yards (-113)
St. Brown has averaged 77 receiving yards per game this season, and he has been under this total in two of his last four games, including last week against the Commanders, when he had just 58 receiving yards. The Lions were focused on getting Jameson Williams involved, and he hauled in six catches for 119 yards and a touchdown. St. Brown still found the end zone, and he still had more targets (eight), but he didn’t come close to get over this prop line.
St. Brown has been under this line in five of his nine games overall and four of his five games on the road. In this road matchup, he seems likely to go under it again since the Eagles defense has been so solid. Last week, the Eagles locked down the Packers, not allowing any receiver to post more than 45 yards. They’ve also only allowed four wide receiver touchdowns all season, so ARSB to not score a touchdown (-150) is another interesting option to consider.
It should be a great game and I expect both teams to try to possess to ball for long, sustained drives and to rely on their run game and defense. In the playoff environment, yards and points will be hard to come by. Since I expect a low-scoring game and ARSB has posted underwhelming totals on the road, the Eagles will likely be able to keep him in check on Sunday night.
