The Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers will face each other on Thursday Night Football in Week 10 in what will be the only prime time game that each francish will play in this season.

In this article, I'm going to focus on some prop bets to potentially wager on. Let's dive into them.

Thursday Night Football Best Prop Bets for Falcons vs. Panthers

  • PJ Walker OVER 174.5 Passing Yards
  • Kyle Pitts OVER 38.5 Receiving Yards
  • Cordarrelle Patterson UNDER 53.5 Rushing Yards

PJ Walker OVER 174.5 Passing Yards

PJ Walker lit up the Falcons defense two weeks ago, completing 19-of-36 for 317. Atlanta's secondary is depleted, and if their star cornerback AJ Terrell can't go again this week, there's no reason why Walker can't have another big game.

Taking the OVER on the passing yards for any quarterback that is going to face the Falcons this season, is probably a good bet. The Falcons are 30th in opponent yards per pass attempt, giving up 7.4 yards per throw.

Kyle Pitts OVER 38.5 Receiving Yards (-114)

Kyle Pitts had one of his best games of the season against the Panthers two weeks ago. He was targetted nine time and hauled in five receptions for 80 yards and a touchdown. If he exploited their defense then, why can't he do it again?

Pitts averaged 60.4 receiving yards per game last season, but only 35.6 in 2022. I have faith he's going to have some positive regression, especially if Mariota can get a little bit more accurate.

Cordarrelle Patterson UNDER 53.5 Rushing Yards

Cordarrelle Patterson is a fun player to watch, and a key factor in this offense, but there's too many mouths to feed to bank on him going over his rushing total. Even in last week's game where he scored two touchdowns, he only racked up 44 yards on the ground.

It's also important to note that Patterson only played 39% of offensive snaps last week. I'll take the UNDER on his rushing yards on Thursday night.
