Knowing how NFL offenses will distribute carries to running backs can produce bulky betting edges. PRO Projections exploited backfields in a big way last week, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do on Sunday of Week 2.
As we turn the page to Sunday, projections spotted notable rushing props and attempts, particularly for Chargers vs. Panthers player props.
Our PRO Projections disagree with the volume distribution in a big way. Therefore, two player prop picks make sense.
Let’s dive into the best ways to bet Chuba Hubbard and Miles Sanders for Sunday Week 2, with the Chargers standing as five-point favorites and the over/under set at 39 points.
Chargers vs. Panthers Player Props: Picks for Miles Sanders, Chuba Hubbard
Projections reveal some disagreements with how the Panthers backfield might be utilized in this game, opening up profitable opportunities on specific rushing props.
Miles Sanders Over/Under Rushing Attempts
The first prop pick focuses on Panthers’ running back, Miles Sanders.
The market odds are set at 7.5 rushing attempts for Sanders. However, PRO Projections estimate that Sanders will see around 8.2 carries in this game. At odds of +100, there is a compelling argument to back Sanders to muster at least eight rushing attempts. This projection provides us with a solid 7.5% edge, making it a favorable bet.

Chuba Hubbard Over/Under Rushing Attempts
Next, we turn our attention to Chuba Hubbard, the Panthers’ other key figure in the backfield. He earned six attempts last week vs. New Orleans.
Here, the market odds are positioned at 13.5 rushing attempts for Hubbard vs. the Chargers.
However, PRO Projections anticipate Hubbard will be held to approximately 12.7 carries, thus creating an intriguing correlation with Sanders’ projections.
This alignment suggests a play on the under for Hubbard’s rushing attempts, complementing the play on Sanders’ over.
