The reads behind them

Form here is 60% of a player's last ten games and 40% of his season rate, last season's until this one has enough games behind it, weighed against what the books are charging once the vig is stripped out, and against what the matchup says. A prop only appears when the matchup backs it as well as the form does.

Angle 1

Darnell Washington Over 10.5 Longest Reception

-110at BetMGM

Darnell Washington has gone over 10.5 longest reception in 77% of 13 games last season and 100% across the last ten.

Darnell Washington has 11.99 yards per catch over 12 games, against 10.14 for TEs (79th percentile).
New England Patriots rank 9th of 32 for 20+ yard receptions allowed to TEs, at 0.7 a game over 17 games.

The case against

The price is the weak part of this one, and the form read has to carry it at -110.

New England Patriots rank 29th of 32 for 40+ yard receptions allowed (all positions), at 0.2 a game over 17 games.

The last ten (100%) sits a long way from last season's rate (77%), so this leans on a streak continuing rather than on a settled level.
