Best Bryce Young Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook

Bryce Young Over 253.5 Passing Yards (-111)

With Brad Idzik calling the plays for the Panthers instead of Dave Canales this season, Carolina ranks first in pace and third in PROE. At quarterback for this offense, Young has put up big numbers. The 25-year-old averages 285.3 passing yards per game, ranking second in the NFL and marking a career-high by almost 100 yards.

Young is averaging a career-best 7.5 yards per attempt. Before the Buccaneers held him to 163 yards in Week 7, the former first overall pick had thrown for 280+ yards in his first five starts of the season.

On Thursday Night Football, Young faces a Packers defense that gives up the eighth-fewest yards per pass attempt this season (6.4). However, Green Bay ranks seventh in pace. Over the last two weeks, it allowed Dak Prescott and Jared Goff to throw for 258 and 303 yards, respectively.

Combine the Panthers’ and Packers’ up-tempo offenses, and Thursday’s primetime matchup should be a high-scoring affair. Carolina is also a 3.5-point underdog, so the Panthers should find themselves airing it out in a negative game script.

This is an ideal setup for Young to clear 253.5 passing yards for the sixth time this season.
