Week 16 begins in Seattle on Thursday as the Rams face the Seahawks in an NFC West matchup.
This game has huge implications not only for the division but also for the NFC standings overall. Both teams enter this game with an 11-3 record, and the winner will have the inside track to the division crown and #1 overall seed.
Both teams have -110 moneyline odds going into this evenly matched game. The points total is set at O/U 44.5 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Below is my favorite Shaheed prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook for Thursday’s game.
Best Rashid Shaheed Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Funnily enough, Shaheed has already played against both of these teams this season when he played for the Saints. In the game against L.A., he caught five of nine targets for 68 yards. A good omen?
Shaheed took a while to get going in a Seahawks uniform, going under this total in each of his first four games in Seattle. Things have turned around in his last two performances however, putting up 67 and 74 receiving yards respectively. He seems to have surpassed Cooper Kupp as the second option in this passing attack, finishing with more targets, catches and yards over that two-game period.
I expect Shaheed to continue his recent uptick in this one, and he should comfortably go over this number for the second time this season against the Rams. In total this season, Shaheed has gone over this number nine times while averaging just over 45 receiving yards per game.
He’s got a decent matchup in this one, as the Rams are a below-average passing defense, ranking 19th in the NFL while allowing 219.7 yards per game through the air.
Expect Shaheed to go over this number for the third consecutive game and the 10th time this season.
