Chiefs star Isiah Pacheco is out for Sunday Night Football, opening the door for the backup running backs to step up against the Falcons.
In light of this development, we’ve updated our PRO Projections for Week 3, paying special attention to Samaje Perine props.
PRO Projections are a sophisticated tool developed by our team of NFL experts, led by Sean Koerner.
These projections are particularly useful in identifying under-the-radar props, and this week, they highlight the potential impact of Perine.
There’s a pick centered around the backup running back in PRO holding a juicy edge ahead of the prime-time tilt.
Samaje Perine Props, Projections, Pick for Sunday Night Football
The Falcons host the Chiefs on Sunday night football with potential fireworks looming.
According to our data, the Chiefs are currently favored by 3.5 points with an over/under set at 46.5.
This game could very well hinge on the performances of players like Perine, who is poised to fill the gap left by Pacheco’s absence.
Perine is in his first year with the Chiefs and looks set to play a pivotal role in the team’s offensive strategy this Sunday alongside Carson Steele.
The over/under for Perine’s rushing yards is currently set at 16.5. Given his role and the current situation, our projections show an edge on the over, pegging him to accumulate around 22 yards. This represents a 10.6% edge for bettors who are considering Perine props.
Stay up to date with PRO Props to get a pulse on Perine props, Steele projections, other Chiefs picks and more for Sunday Night Football.
