Ravens vs Titans Prop Bets: Lots to Zay in This One

Prop bet #1: Catching on

The Ravens' pass catchers disappointed Lamar Jackson last week, to say the least. Seven combined drops across the roster ultimately led to an avoidable loss vs. the unimpressive Steelers. Two of those drops came in the endzone (one each for Mark Andrews and Zay Flowers), and another would have put the Ravens in the red zone (also by Zay Flowers).

The obvious hope would be there is no lost trust between Lamar and his receivers, especially given the friendly matchup they have this week against the seventh-worst pass defense according to DVOA. On top of that, the Titans will be without safety Elijah Molden, adding to the opportunity.

This Tennessee pass defense has allowed some large passing yardage totals already this year. Outside of a pedestrian performance from the hobbled Joe Burrow in Week 4, the Titans have allowed 305 (Derek Carr), 305 (Justin Herbert), 289 (Deshaun Watson), and 236 (Anthony Richarsdson and Gardner Minshew) passing yards in their other four games.

Sunday is the perfect time to buy bottom-of-the-barrel low on the Ravens' passing attack.

Prop bet #2: Zay anything

Speaking of buying low on someone, the Zay Flowers odds are arguably Sunday's best candidate across the slate. Despite two pivotal drops last Sunday, Flowers still managed to reel in five catches for 73 yards and undoubtedly could have put together a career day without the mishaps.

Despite the solid day on the box score (and NOT on the field), Flowers managed to clear his receiving yard total for the fourth time in five games. And again, despite the mistakes, bookmakers have taken note of Flowers' ability to command targets.

His receiving yardage total for Sunday is set as high as 57.5 and only has low as 55.5, with the latter tying for the largest total he has had thus far. Flowers ranks 16th across the NFL in total targets and second in targets among rookies (only trailing Puka Nacua).

Week 5 is behind Flowers, much like he'll leave this total behind him come Sunday.

Prop bet #3: Another Tannehill turnover

Ryan Tannehill is often a better quarterback than he gets credit for, but if there's one thing he should get flack for, it's his inability to take care of the football when playing away from the confines of Nissan Stadium.

Tannehill has now thrown a pick in three of his last four games away from home, and in nine of his last 14 games in that split. It's not one singular fluke interception here and there either, as he has thrown a whopping 13 interceptions across that 14-game stretch. Compare that to at home, where he has thrown an interception in just three of his last 11 games.

With former first-round pick Treylon Burks out for Sunday, DeAndre Hopkins is likely to draw a ton of additional attention and coverage which will in turn force Tannehill to throw into tighter windows or throw at pass-catchers with much less separation ability than Hopkins.

The Titans' Week 6 game is technically listed as a home game for Sunday, and the Ryan Tannehill odds on his interception prop are priced as if he is actually suiting up at Nissan Stadium. Take advantage.
