Best Prop Bets for Seahawks vs. Saints for NFL Week 5 (Olave is the New No. 1 in New Orleans)
By Josh Yourish
The Seahawks offense exploded a week ago against Detroit and New Orleans took it down to the wire in London. We could have another good high scoring game between the Seahawks and Saints this week. When you think you’re going to get points that makes the prop market even more exciting, so let’s get to my three favorites for Week 5 in Nola.
Best Prop Bets for Seahawks vs. Saints
- Taysom Hill Anytime TD +250
- Rashaad Penny Over 57.5 Rush Yards (-114)
- Chris Olave Over 64.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
Taysom Hill Anytime TD +250
I hit this same bet at bigger odds last week and we’re going back to the well. Seattle may have ran up the score on Detroit, but they couldn’t get a stop either. With Andy Dalton at QB, Dennis Allen will turn to Taysom Hill in the red zone and short yardage situations. Hill will get enough carries to make this bet profitable once again.
Rashaad Penny Over 57.5 Rush Yards (-114)
Penny looks like one of the very best running backs in the league right now. Seattle is running the Sean McVay wide zone system under Shane Waldren and with Russell Wilson out of the way, they are running it to perfection. Even though they drafted Kenneth Walker, Penny is still the featured back and New Orleans is giving up four yards a carry this year.
Chris Olave Over 64.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
Not only is Jameis Winston out, but Michael Thomas is hurt again (what else is new?) and in his stead last week, Olave stepped up as the No. 1 receiver that they drafted him to be. Olave looks like a stud and a legit downfield threat for the Saints who will get a high volume of targets regardless of who the quarterback is. Plus Seattle has no corners that will be able to stay with a talented receiver like Olave, even Josh Reynolds had seven or 81 yards last week.
