Last year, the Dolphins upset the Ravens on Thursday Night Football, shocking everyone. This year, the Ravens are healthy and the Dolphins have retooled with Tyreek Hill, making this rematch even more interesting than last year’s. With both teams 1-0, this is sure to be one of the more interesting games of the week.

Here are three prop bets to key in on for Dolphins-Ravens Week 2.

Best Prop Bets For Dolphins-Ravens Week 2

  • Lamar Jackson OVER 54.5 Rushing Yards
  • Tyreek Hill Anytime TD Scorer
  • Rashod Bateman OVER 45.5 Receiving Yards

Lamar Jackson OVER 54.5 Rushing Yards

In this game last year, Jackson had nine rushing attempts for 39 yards. Although this is a rushing prop, I’m more concerned about how many opportunities Jackson will have to run the ball. J.K. Dobbins should be back, which will take a little less of the defense’s attention off of Jackson in the backfield. 

In Week 1, Jackson carried the ball six times for a mere 17 yards. He’ll be more efficient this week, which might be what takes the Ravens over the edge. 

Tyreek Hill Anytime TD Scorer

Jaylen Waddle may have scored a touchdown last week, but it’s clear Tyreek Hill is option 1 in the Dolphins’ offense. He had eight catches for 94 yards in Week 1. Hill’s speed is going to put him in great positions to score – especially if Baltimore decides to get aggressive with its blitzes. All it will take is one slant and Hill will be gone. Miami will have to pick it’s spots, but Hill – who had 12 targets in Week 1 – will have a full day. 

Rashod Bateman OVER 45.5 Receiving Yards

In last year’s game, Bateman had a great night. He had six catches on eight targets for 80 yards. As the No. 1 receiver this season, I expect him to have another big day. Bateman, even with only two catches last week, still had five targets. He’s a big enough part of the offense and a good enough of a deep ball threat to where I have faith he clears this line.
