Find out why the pair headline my Vikings vs. Steelers props and NFL picks for Sunday, September 28
Vikings vs Steelers props
Player | Pick | |
---|---|---|
Over 1.5 rushing yards | -112 | |
Over 23.5 receiving yards | -114 | |
Over 72.5 receiving yards | -114 |
Prop bet #1: Aaron Rodgers Over 1.5 rushing yards
While Aaron Rodgers is no longer a dual-threat quarterback, he still moves well enough to extend plays.
One scramble, QB sneak, or even a broken play is all that’s required to cash this ticket.
In fact, Rodgers has cleared this number in three of his last five starts. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defensive front is aggressive, and that pressure often forces quarterbacks to take off at least once.
With calm Dublin weather expected, field conditions are unlikely to be an issue. At such a low rushing yards number, this is a prop with minimal risk and solid value.
Prop bet #2: Jaylen Warren Over 23.5 receiving yards
Jaylen Warren has become one of Pittsburgh’s most reliable offensive playmakers, especially in the passing game.
He enters Week 4 ranked fourth in the NFL in yards after catch with 154, a testament to his ability to turn short receptions into explosive gains.
That skill set makes him especially dangerous against defenses like the Minnesota Vikings that allow underneath completions, as even a swing pass or quick check-down can cover this number in a single play.
With 11 catches for 142 receiving yards already this season, Warren’s role is established, and the modest 23.5-yard line gives him plenty of room to hit the Over in Dublin.
Prop bet #3: Justin Jefferson Over 72.5 receiving yards
Even with Carson Wentz starting at quarterback, Justin Jefferson should remain the focal point of Minnesota’s passing attack.
Jefferson is arguably the best in the league at creating separation and winning contested catches. He’s cleared his receiving yardage prop in his last two games, including 75 yards on five receptions in Week 3 against Cincinnati.
The Steelers’ defense is allowing 8.5 yards per completion, which sets up perfectly for Jefferson’s ability to generate explosive plays and clear his receiving yards prop.
Jefferson doesn’t need a high volume of receptions to clear this number, as two or three chunk plays should do the job.
With favorable weather in Dublin and Wentz expected to funnel targets his way, Jefferson is well-positioned to surpass his receiving yards total.
