Week 12 concludes in San Francisco on Monday night as the Panthers take on the 49ers.
Bryce Young and company have a golden opportunity on prime time as Carolina would take the lead in the NFC South with a win. Carolina has won five of their last seven games, and their third-year quarterback will be looking to make it six out of eight under the lights of Monday Night Football.
The 49ers are 7.5-point favorites for this one, with the Panthers +310 underdogs on the moneyline. The points total is set at O/U 49.5 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Below is my favorite Young prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook for Monday’s game.
Best Bryce Young Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Bryce Young is coming off the best game of his career, which saw him throw for 448 yards and three scores in Carolina’s OT win over Atlanta. It was an unreal performance from the former #1 overall pick, and one that saw him set the Panthers franchise record for passing yards in a game.
I will certainly be taking his over in passing yards after that performance, particularly when you look at San Francisco’s stats against the pass. The 49ers rank 28th in the NFL in that category, allowing an average of 249.1 yards per game through the air.
Rookie wideout Tetairoa McMillan looks to have figured things out in recent weeks, which has propelled this passing attack into what we witnessed a week ago. Young is having the best year of his career and has definitely made a jump in year three. His completion percentage, TD to INT ratio and passer rating are all the best marks of his career through 10 games.
Last week was huge for the team but also for him personally, especially against a top 10 passing defense. I don’t expect video game numbers for the second straight week but look for Young to build off what he did in Atlanta.
