Sunday’s Week 9 NFL schedule features 13 games, with several player prop betting lines and statistical projections drawing attention across major matchups, according to analysis by CBS Sports.
Brock Purdy Passing Yards Outlook
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy enters Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders set with an over/under passing line of 245.5 yards. Purdy has surpassed that total in four of his past six appearances, recording 15 touchdown passes through seven games while averaging 266.5 passing yards across four home contests this season. San Francisco enters the contest as a 9.5-point favorite at home.
Purdy faces a Las Vegas defense that ranks 30th in the league by allowing 381.9 total yards per game, recently surrendering 290 passing yards to New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith. According to the SportsLine Projection Model reported by CBS Sports, Purdy is projected to record an average of 268.9 passing yards on Sunday.
Nico Collins and Bo Nix Player Props
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has an over/under receiving line set at 64.5 yards for Sunday’s matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Collins registered two receptions for six yards during Houston’s 27-21 loss to the New York Giants on Oct. 25, and he has finished with 56 or fewer receiving yards in two of his last three games. Although the Chargers carry an 0-7 record, their defense ranks seventh-best in the NFL by limiting opponents to 198.4 passing yards per game. The SportsLine Projection Model projects Collins to finish with 45.1 receiving yards.
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix carries an over/under line of 32.5 passing attempts for Denver’s game against the Carolina Panthers. Nix has logged 29 or fewer pass attempts in three of his previous four games. While Carolina ranks in the top 10 against the pass by holding opponents to 208.9 passing yards per game, the Panthers’ defense ranks 30th in rushing defense, giving up 140.7 yards per game on the ground. The SportsLine Projection Model expects Nix to throw 28.9 pass attempts in the contest.
