We are looking to bounce back after a tough week 3, going only 1-4, dropping our season record to below .500. But we are looking to bounce back this week, and we start off with Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton taking on the Giants. 

Omarion Hampton OVER 70.5 rush yards 

Rookie Omarion Hampton took over the backfield for the Chargers last week after Najee Harris suffered a season-ending injury. Against the Broncos last week, Hampton finished the game with 19 attempts for 70 yards and a touchdown, with a longest rush of 11 yards. The Chargers take on the Giants this weekend in rookie QB Jaxon Dart's first-ever NFL start. In a game that may get out of hand in favour of the Chargers, I think it favours Hampton to get a lot of touches today. The Giants, so far in this young season, despite high hopes for their defense, rank second last in the league for opponent rush yards, allowing 154 yards per game. 

Saquon Barkley OVER 16.6 rec yards 

The Eagles are taking on the Bucs in a matchup that often gives the Eagles some troubles. 

However, the Bucs are allowing running backs to get a lot of receiving yards early in this season. Breece Hall caught 4 passes for 31 yards, Texans running back Woody Marks caught one pass for 37 yards in their week 2 matchup, and Bijan had 6 catches for 100 receiving yards, with a long of 50. Even though Barkley is having a bit of a slow start to his standards, this is a good get-right spot against an injured Bucs team, especially as Tampa seems to be vulnerable to pass-catching backs. 

Puka Nacua OVER 90.5 rec yards 

Puka has been one of the best wide receivers in the league to start this season. His connection with Stafford seems better than ever, despite the addition of Devantae Adams this offseason. Nacua has gone over this prop of 90.5 yards in all three games this season with 112 yards, 91 yards, and 130 yards. The Colts are missing DB Kenny Moore in their secondary, and are allowing 265 passing yards per game, the fourth most per game in the league so far. In a favourable matchup for Puka we like him to remain consistent and go over his receiving prop of 90.5 yards, in what should be a great game against the Colts. 

Rome Odunze OVER 62.5 rec yards 

Rome has been Caleb Williams’s favourite target through the first 3 weeks of the season. Rome has had games this season of 3-62-1, 7-128-2, and 6-37-1. Against a favourable matchup against the Raiders, we expect Rome and Caleb to continue this connection and go over Odunze's receiving prop of 62.5 yards.  Las Vegas allowed 248 passing yards per game this season, and has allowed big games to Keenan Allen and Quentin Johnston vs the Chargers, Terry McLaurin and a backup QB, and Kayshon Boutte in week 1. 

Jordan Love OVER 234.5 passing yards 

The Cowboys have been one of the worst defences in the league this year. Caleb Williams had one of the best games of his young career, and newly benched Russel Wilson threw for 450 yards earlier this season. Dallas has given up 268 yards per game in the air, and I expect this trend to continue today with a big game from Love. With all the anticipation surrounding this game with Micah returning, and the Packers coming off a bad loss to the Browns, I expect Jordan Love to make a statement with a big win in prime time. There will be opportunities for big chunk plays for Jordan Love today as was the case for Williams Russ vs this Cowboys defence.
