Best bets for Sunday’s slate

We’re back targeting player props in Week 10.

Before my vacation departure, we had a solid showing in Week 7. We mostly target long shot props, which you’ll see is why our record can be low at different times but we’re still profitable.

Our record is 14-25, and we’ve now profited 4.07 units on the year, which equals out to a solid 10.44 percent return on investment.

We’re here to make money, so let’s keep it rolling in Week 10.

Week 10 NFL player props, picks, predictions

J.J. McCarthy over 40 pass attempts (+850, Bet365)

Listed for this price bet365, but also available at +700 on ESPN BET.

J.J. McCarthy hasn’t done it yet this year, but that’s no bother to me. His pass attempt total average is 22 per game, but those games were mostly in hand.

What we should be looking at is the Ravens, whose defense is terrible, and their offense is projected to put up a ton of points behind a returning Lamar Jackson.

The Vikings are underdogs, likely to fall behind against a Ravens offense that should be ready to run, and the Ravens’ defense is bad enough that there’s a reasonable expectation of success from McCarthy.

The Dolphins’ Tua Tagovailoa was 25/40 last week, and quarterbacks have overall attempted at least 40 pass attempts in three of eight games (37.5 percent hit rate).

McCarthy getting some success is the key, and the Ravens are 22nd in the league in yards per pass attempt allowed.

James Cook over 17.5 rush attempts (-108, FanDuel) | 2+ touchdowns (+290, FanDuel)

Pointed out by Action Network’s Brandon Anderson, the Dolphins’ run defense is terrible. In losses, they are allowing opposing running backs to run for 19 carries and 109 yards.

The only concern for Cook is that he was on the injury report as possibly banged up coming into this matchup but he was labeled “good to go” on Friday.

Cook has cleared 17.5 rush attempts in five of eight games this season and this profiles as his best matchup of any of those games.

He’s also scored seven touchdowns this season, crossing the endzone multiple times in two of those eight games.

This is a Cook masterclass spot against a reeling Dolphins team that has lost all hope.

Kenneth Walker over 79.5 rushing yards (+390, BetRivers)

Guessing what the Seahawks will do in their ground attack isn’t easy, but it’s one I’m willing to target this week, in large part because the Cardinals’ secondary has sneakily become a solid unit.

Sam Darnold has been throwing a lot but he might want to proceed a bit more cautiously against a strong Arizona pass defense. Pro Football Focus ranks the Cardinals’ pass defense No. 6 overall, while their run defense is the seventh worst.

Walker has cleared 80 rush yards in three games this season, one of which was against the Cardinals in Week 4.
