Best Running Back Props For Week 3

Rb Props W3

Top RB Prop Predictions

Hunt Over 43.5 rushing yards (-115) ★★★★

Kareem Hunt of the Cleveland Browns gained 46 yards rushing in Week 1 and 58 yards in Week 2. The Pittsburgh Steelers defense is allowing an average of 128.5 rushing yards per game, ranking them 22nd in the league. Thursday Night Football is expected to have wind speeds of 16 miles per hour, with gusts up to 25 mph, suggesting that teams may rely more on the running game.

Montgomery Over 66.5 rushing yards (-115) ★★★★

The Chicago Bears have only attempted 28 passes in their first two games, which is significantly lower than any other team in the league. Despite being known as a run-first team, they were able to showcase their running game last week when David Montgomery rushed for 122 yards. In their upcoming game against the Houston Texans, who are ranked as the third-worst team against the run, allowing an average of 163.0 yards per game, the Bears may look to exploit this weakness and focus on their ground game once again.

Patterson Over 40.5 rushing yards (-120) ★★★★★

The Seattle Seahawks have the 25th ranked run defense, giving up an average of 146.0 yards per game. Cordarelle Patterson, the Falcons’ top running back, has surpassed 40.5 yards in each of the first two games. I believe Patterson and the Falcons will bounce back closer to their Week 1 performance of 120 yards, especially after his 41-yard effort on 10 carries in a comeback win last week.
