Quarterback CJ Stroud Prop (2:53–5:33) : Sleepy predicts an interception for CJ Stroud (-140 odds), citing his high sack rate, the Chiefs’ defensive strength, and the lack of key targets like Tank Dell. Stroud's struggles against the Chiefs earlier in the season (two interceptions) reinforce this prediction. Jaden Daniels Rushing Yards (5:34–7:04) : Steve suggests Daniels will exceed 54.5 rushing yards due to Detroit's man-heavy defense, favorable matchups against mobile quarterbacks, and anticipated garbage-time yardage. Lamar Jackson Passing Yards (7:04–9:51) : Munaf advises betting on Lamar Jackson going under 221.5 passing yards due to historical struggles against Buffalo and expected weather challenges. Saquon Barkley Receiving Yards (10:33–12:41) : Sleepy bets on Barkley over 11.5 receiving yards, explaining how blitz-heavy Rams defenses historically lead to running back checkdowns. Isaiah Pacheco Rushing Yards (13:33–15:15) : Steve predicts over 41.5 rushing yards for Pacheco, citing his return from injury, improved health, and a Chiefs game script favoring running. Jameer Gibbs Longest Rush (16:04–18:26) : Munaf recommends Gibbs’ longest rush over 19.5 yards due to the Commanders’ poor rush defense and Gibbs’ explosive playstyle. Dalton Schultz Receiving Yards (25:49–27:08) : Munaf backs Schultz to exceed 38.5 receiving yards against the Chiefs, pointing out their susceptibility to tight ends and Schultz’s role in the Texans’ offense.
