Lions vs. Cardinals: Best NFL prop bets for Week 3 (Marvin Harrison Jr. is ready for the big day)

The Cardinals and Lions meet Sunday in Week 3 in a battle of 1-1 teams.

With the highest total on the board, the over/under sits at 51.5, how should we focus on player prop bets? I’m counting on a strong showing from young stars like Marvin Harrison Jr. and Jahmyr Gibbs as my favorite prop bets on Sunday.

Let’s go!

Marvin Harrison Jr. OVER 62.5 receiving yards

Harrison had his breakout effort in Week 2, catching two touchdowns on eight targets en route to 130 yards.

Although he only had four receptions, Harrison showed his ability to make big plays with a 60-yard home run and should only see his reception total increase.

He’ll face a vulnerable Lions secondary that ranks 23rd in EPA/Dropback so far this season. Meanwhile, Arizona’s offense is in great shape in the passing game so far, ranking third in EPA/Dropback on offense.

Kyler Murray and Harrison should form a devastating duo and should have no trouble lighting up the Lions’ defense.

Jahmyr Gibbs OVER 76.5 yards rushing and receiving

Gibbs is a threat in both the run and pass game and it’s sometimes difficult to determine where he’ll thrive in a given game, so let’s compile both stats for review.

Gibbs recorded 74 all-purpose yards in Week 1 and 106 in Week 2. He also has double-digit carries and 13 total targets, so the volume has been there for the second-year product.

Against a dual-threat running back like James Cook in Week 1, the Cardinals struggled to contain him. He rushed for 71 yards on 19 carries with three receptions for 32 yards.

Jared Goff throws and intercepts

Goff is struggling to get the season off to a good start. He has three interceptions this season on four turnovers, and on the road, I feel like he could still get into trouble.

The Cardinals’ defense has been slightly below average against the pass so far this season, 20th in EPA/Dropback, but Jonathan Gannon’s aggressive defensive scheme gives the team turnover chances. The Cardinals had 11 interceptions last season, but have yet to have one this season.

With Goff’s rotation tendencies, this could be a great regression matchup for the Cards at a near-draft price of -114.
