Jacory Croskey-Merritt Betting Picks for Commanders vs. Chiefs
Among the key players to watch, rookie running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt stands out. Bettors looking to place props will find opportunities surrounding his performance.
Croskey-Merritt’s Rushing Yards Prop
- Prop Bet: Under 48.5 Rushing Yards (-112)
- Average Yards Per Carry: 5.2
- Rushing Yards in Losses: 39.5 per game
- Rushing Yards in Wins: 73 per game
Croskey-Merritt’s rookie season has shown promise, yet circumstances emerge that complicate his prospects this game. With the Commanders as significant underdogs, they will likely lean more on their passing game, especially when trailing. Historically, this shift results in fewer carries for Croskey-Merritt, especially evident in their four losses this season where he averaged only 10.3 carries per game.
Chiefs’ Defensive Strength
This season, the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense has excelled in containing lead running backs. Over the past three games, they have allowed an average of just 3.9 yards per rush, ranking among the league’s best. The only player who managed to breach 49.5 rushing yards against them recently was Jahmyr Gibbs, who needed 17 carries to achieve 65 yards.
Given these factors, placing a bet on Croskey-Merritt to rush under 48.5 yards looks to be a prudent choice. It reflects the Commanders’ catching-up tendencies and the Chiefs’ solid defense.
