Ja’Marr Chase … chases 150+ receiving yards
The over-under on Ja’Marr Chase currently rests at 81.5 yards, and that doesn’t go far enough. We have to appreciate that Washington has been the worst pass defense, by far, since the 2023 season opened. If you prefer more recent returns, 2024 follows the script — Mike Evans and Chris Godwin both spiked against the Commanders in Week 1, and Malik Nabers exploded for 10-127-1 last Sunday.

I won’t be surprised if he races past 150 yards by the end of the night. — Scott Pianowski

Aiyuk will shine this week and…
