The Saints and Cardinals are fighting for their seasons on Thursday Night, with both teams entering the game at 2-4. The quarterback situation for the Saints is still up in the air, while the receiving room for the Cardinals has seen a lot of shuffling this week. 

Some of the playmakers for both teams are still injured, but there are a lot of players we can back in the prop market. With that in mind, here are three prop bets to bet for Saints-Cardinals.

Best Prop Bets For Saints-Cardinals

  • Deandre Hopkins OVER 60.5 Receiving Yards
  • Kyler Murray OVER 245.5 Passing Yards
  • Taysom Hill To Score A Touchdown

Deandre Hopkins OVER 60.5 Receiving Yards

Hopkins is back and he couldn’t have more perfect timing. With Hollywood Brown going down, Hopkins gets to slide right back into the No. 1 receiver role. Hopkins was hurt last season and still saw nearly seven targets per game. Expect Murray to look his way often, hoping to ride that connection with a win. When Hopkins is healthy and on the field, he’s one of the best in the game. 

Kyler Murray OVER 243.5 Passing Yards

The Cardinals are down to their third string running back, so even more pressure is on Murray’s shoulders. However, the reason I like this prop so much is because of the volume. Murray is averaging 42 passes per game. He’s cleared this line four times this season and is averaging more yards than this per game.

With his favorite target back, trust Murray. 

Taysom Hill To Score A Touchdown

Hill has become a pseudo goal line running back for the Saints. He has five rushing touchdowns for them this season and is averaging just over 50 yards per game. He’s going to get touches in the red zone, which should prove profitable against the Cardinals’ below average red zone touchdown percentage.

Hill’s role on this team is as a bruising gadget player, and he’ll fill his job description on Thursday.
