Cardinals vs. Raiders Best Prop Bets for NFL Week 2 (Monster Game for Davante Adams)
By Reed Wallach
Both the Raiders and Cardinals enter Sunday's matchup off of losing efforts, but who can get back on track faster?
Las Vegas had a clear game plan in Week 1 against the Chargers, find Davante Adams, who hauled in 10 catches for 141 yards, can he be in line for another big game against an Arizona defense that let Patrick Mahomes throw for five touchdowns in Week 1?
Here's my prop analysis for Adams' as well as two other prop bets I'm eyeing for Raiders-Cardinals:
Best Prop Bets for Cardinals-Raiders Week 2
- Davante Adams OVER 7.5 Receptions
- Hunter Renfrow OVER 4.5 Receptions
- Marquise Brown UNDER 58.5 Receiving Yards
Davante Adams OVER 7.5 Receptions (-125)
Adams was targeted 17 times in Week 1, and now he goes up against a porous Cardinals defense. The Cards allowed Mahomes to go 30-for-39 for 390 yards and five touchdowns in Week 1 and I expect Josh McDaniels to attack through the air once again.
There' s a reason that the Raiders traded for a talent like Adams and expect him to get a full serving of targets on Sunday.
Hunter Renfrow OVER 4.5 Receptions
If Adams is going to receive a lion's share of the targets, Renfrow is going to get his fair share. He had six targets in the Week 1 loss for three catches, but he is coming off of a 128 target season in 2021 as he and established fantastic chemistry on the playoff bound Raiders.
Renfrow went over this number in 12 of 17 games last season and I think we are getting a discount on the sure handed receiver.
Marquise Brown UNDER 58.5 Receiving Yards
The Raiders defense was far from impressive against the Chargers, allowing Justin Herbert to throw for 279 yards, but it was a diverse group of receivers with three pass catchers going over 50 yards.
Brown and Cardinals quarterback may have went to Oklahoma together, but he didn't go over this mark in his first game in Arizona, bringing in four catches for 48 yards. This game may shape up to be a shootout, but the Cardinals did target Greg Dortch more in a negative game script.
This is a high total to get to based on reputation, and I'll play against it until I see 'Hollywood' take over the No. 1 receiver role.
