ASA NFL player props for Sunday, Sept 11th

Here are 3 NFL player prop bets or NFL predictions for opening weekend

Tony Pollard Over 17.5 Rec Yards (-115) 

TB @ DAL

There have been talks of the Cowboys using Pollard as a slot receiver for the 2022 season, and the departure of Amari Cooper opens up lots of targets in Dallas. Michael Gallup is still working his way back from an ACL tear and his availability is in serious question this week. Unproven rookie WR Jalen Tolbert would be the WR2, leaving Dak Prescott in need of some playmakers in a potential shootout with a total o/u of 50.5. Pollard should be heavily involved in all aspects this week, seeing plenty of opportunities out of the backfrield and the slot. 

Justin Jefferson Under 82.5 Rec Yards (-115)

GB @ MIN

A massive season is expected from Jefferson, but he draws a steep challenge in week 1 facing one of the best secondaries in the league. Jaire Alexander will likely shadow the 3rd year WR with Eric Stokes and Rasul Douglas also taking a crack at him. In four games against Green Bay, Jefferson has averaged 70 yards per game, and that is including his explosion of 169 yards in week 10 of last year. Expect the Packers to force the ball elsewhere and make it a priority to limit his targets. 

Mitch Trubisky Over 1.5 Pass TDs (+140)

PIT @ CIN

Many experts around the league feel the Steelers offense will be sluggish in 2022, yet Trubisky has plenty of weapons at his disposal to keep up with Cincy’s high powered offense this week. Johnson, Claypool, Pickens, and Freiermuth will be valuable options for Trubisky as Pittsburg potentially plays from behind against the Super Bowl runner-ups.The Steelers O-line was horrid last year and comes into 2022 ranked 30th according to PFF, which will force them to throw the ball a ton once again. With plus odds, Trubisky is a value play to throw 2 TDs as one of our NFL predictions.
