Chuba Hubbard Player Prop Bet
If you haven’t been keeping an eye on the Carolina Panthers, nobody blames you. But be aware that Chuba Hubbard has been one of the best running backs in the league in the last few weeks. That is not an understatement. In the previous three weeks, Hubbard has averaged 92 yards on the ground and totaled 70 rush attempts.
The efficiency doesn’t necessarily have to be there if Hubbard is going to touch the ball 20 times a game. The books expect much of the same come Sunday against the Packers — Hubbard’s rushing attempts line is set at 16.5 with vig on the over. Let’s dive more into this Chuba Hubbard player prop bet that we’re backing in Packers-Panthers.
The Panthers don’t need or want Bryce Young dropping back to more than 35 times again — even if the game script reads for Young to sling the ball around the field. The rookie quarterback has been sacked 51 times this season, which ranks second among all quarterbacks. So, the recipe is to hang the ball off to Hubbard and let him drive them down the field.
At 70.5 rushing yards, FanDuel is coming in with the best number by two yards — a number Hubbard has eclipsed in his last three games. Against a Packers defense that has allowed seven straight starting running backs to eclipse their rushing yards line, Hubbard is in line to make it eight and give the Panthers a shot to win two games in a row at home.
Best NFL Packers-Panthers Player Prop Bet: Chuba Hubbard Over 70.5 Rushing Yards -114 on FanDuel
