NFL Player Prop #1: Sam Darnold Over 0.5 Passing Touchdowns (-225)
The Carolina Panthers have lacked stability under center this season, as three different quarterbacks have started and four have seen action during games. Sam Darnold has played in just two games as he has started Carolina's two most recent games, leading them to consecutive victories.
Darnold has thrown for one touchdown in each game, one of which came against the Denver Broncos, who are tied for the second fewest passing touchdowns allowed in the NFL this season.
Darnold's Week 15 opponents, the Pittsburgh Steelers, have not had the same success against opposing passing attacks as they have given up the fourth-most passing touchdowns in the NFL entering the week. Look for the Panthers quarterback to throw at least one touchdown pass.
NFL Player Prop #2: Mitchell Trubisky Under 207.5 Passing Yards (-110)
The Pittsburgh Steelers have also lacked stability at the most important position in the sport this season as they have alternated back-and-forth between Mitchell Trubisky and rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett. With Pickett sidelined with a concussion, Trubisky is set to start against the Carolina Panthers.
The Steelers are just 1-3 with Trubisky under center, and he has thrown for 207 yards or less in five of his six games played. Look for the Panthers' passing defense, which has ranked 16th in yards allowed, to contain Trubisky as he fails to throw for 208 yards or more.
NFL Player Prop #3: Najee Harris Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+145)
Najee Harris has scored four touchdowns over his past four contests. The Pittsburgh Steelers running back has found the end zone seven times throughout the season.
Harris will face a Carolina Panthers defense that has allowed the tenth-most touchdowns, 13, to opposing running backs this season. Look for him to score for the eighth time this season against the Panthers.
