NFL Prop Picks: Panthers vs. Eagles Predictions & Tips 11/26/12
Last Updated: November 24th, 2012 byThe Philadelphia Eagles and Carolina Panthers are set to continue the 2012 NFL season, and as a part of our analysis of the Week 12 betting lines, we are taking a look at some of the best NFL props on the board for this crucial primetime fight.
Cam Newton Touchdown Passes Over/Under 1.5: Are we playing on the Carolina offense or against the Philadelphia defense? The Eagles have allowed at least two TD passes in four straight games and six out of eight, and that just isn’t going to cut it when push comes to shove, even against a run first team. Heck, the Washington Redskins threw the ball just 15 times last week, and QB Robert Griffin III threw for four TDs in that stretch. To ask Newton, who has had just two games this year with at least two TD passes, to get to at least two in this one is going to be tough, but we really think that this is more of a 50/50 proposition than anything else, especially against this Philly secondary, which has brutally underachieved and looks like it has given up on the season. Cam Newton TD Passes Over 1.5 (+140)
Eagles Pass Completions Over/Under 22.5: On one blush, knowing that QB Michael Vick is out of the lineup, it seems appropriate to back the ‘under’ in this situation. However, when you think about it closer and look at it a bit closer, perhaps it isn’t so insane to back the ‘over’ instead. QB Nick Foles has a decent arm without a shadow of a doubt. However, he doesn’t have a running game this week either, as RB Bryce Brown is going to have to play in place of the injured RB LeSean McCoy. Don’t be all that shocked if it in the end, that means that Foles is going to put the rock up 30+ times against a secondary that doesn’t have a single player on the roster with more than two picks. We really are only asking Foles to complete about 58% of his passes or so to reach this number. Eagles Pass Completions Over 22.5 (-110)
Riley Cooper Receptions Over/Under 2: Really? Just two for Cooper? Last week against the Redskins, in a game where Foles threw the ball 46 times, Cooper had eight targets, whereas WR Jeremy Maclin had just three. Maclin didn’t catch a single pass. Cooper caught five balls for 61 yards. The game before for Cooper? Three targets, two catches, and a TD. He is clearly becoming more and more of a target in this offense, and he is the third receiver for sure. That doesn’t mean that he is a slam dunk for a heck of a night, but we have to think that he is going to get at least a handful of looks and at least a pair of receptions to push and hopefully at least three to win as well. Riley Cooper Over 2 Receptions (-110)
Alex Henery Over/Under 6.5 Points: It’s not often that we play these kicker props, but we’re asking the Eagles to get two field goals and a touchdown here. The Eagles have 18 field goal attempts on the campaign, which makes them one of the rare teams in the game to have more field goals than touchdowns, and that’s great news for Henery, who booted two field goals last week in Foles’ debut. There’s no reason to think that there won’t be at least a TD in this one in some form, and getting the two field goals really shouldn’t be all that hard for an offense that hit a lot of big plays last week ,but just wasn’t able to get the job done to get the ball in the end zone. As the field gets smaller, so does Foles’ play. It’s great news for the ‘over’, though. Alex Henery Over 6.5 Points (-130)
DeMeco Ryans Total Tackles Over/Under 6.5: Ryans is averaging 7.5 total tackles per game this year, and he is going to be playing against a run first offense. Heck, if you take out the assists, you’ve still got three games in the last five where Ryans has at least seven tackles, and the one game that he didn’t was against the pass first New Orleans Saints who only happened to run 52 plays from scrimmage that whole night. Carolina is probably going to spend a lot of time on the field offensively, and that means that Ryans will have plenty of chances to get his tackles. This should be an easy ‘over’ play when push comes to shove. DeMeco Ryans Total Tackles Over 6.5 (-130)
