3 best prop bets for Packers vs. Buccaneers in Week 3
What are the three best prop bets for the Green Bay Packers in their matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3?
The Green Bay Packers enter Week 3 with a point to prove.
They have struggled in matchups with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in recent years, and they enter another challenging contest this week. A win would send a message to the rest of the NFC.
Let’s look at the top three prop bets for the Packers ahead of this week’s matchup.
Best Packers prop bets vs. Buccaneers in Week 3
Aaron Rodgers prop bet:
- UNDER 230.5 passing yards (-113)
It will be hot in Florida on Sunday, and the Packers have often struggled on the road against top defenses. With an injury-hit receiving corps, moving the ball through the air could be difficult for the Packers.
The Bucs’ passing defense ranks eighth in the NFL after two games.
The last time Green Bay played at Tampa Bay, Rodgers threw for just 160 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions. It could be another one of those days.
Aaron Jones prop bet:
- OVER 50.5 rushing yards (-113)
With injuries at wide receiver, Green Bay has no choice but to lean on the ground game. And that approach paid off well last week against the Chicago Bears.
Aaron Jones is averaging an impressive 9.1 yards per carry this season, and he matches up against a Buccaneers defense allowing 4.5 yards per attempt this year.
This likely won’t be another dominant Jones performance like we saw in Week 2, but he should get the ball a ton in this game, which could help him go over 50.5 rushing yards.
Allen Lazard prop bet:
- OVER 37.5 receiving yards (-113)
While it may be a tough day for Green Bay’s passing offense, Aaron Rodgers needs to throw to someone. Allen Lazard caught a touchdown in his first game back from injury, and the ball will only continue to come his way, especially with Sammy Watkins out.
Again, this might not be a huge day for Lazard, but he should get plenty of targets, which could see him put up over 37.5 receiving yards.
