Josh Gayle's Premium NFL Bet: New York Giants vs. Tennessee Titans
Tight ends against the Giants is a tale as old as time but we’re playing this for the number more than the matchup. Gayle finished the month of August with a 26.82 ROI and hasn't slowed down this month.

1u - Austin Hooper o22.5 receiving yards (-115 @ MGM) (Bet $115 to win $100)
This number is just too low. Hooper hit this in 7 of 9 games last year and is now in an offense where he has less competition for snaps. In Cleveland, they could never commit to one tight end with Njoku and Bryant in the picture. Hooper may not be the lone tight end to see the field but he should see the bulk of the snaps and this number is just too tempting to pass up.
Although the roster turnover is somewhat notable we saw Hooper get 41 yards in 2020 against the Giants. The Giants allowed this prop to hit in 11/17 games and in some games to multiple tight ends in the same game. Hooper is a talented guy who is still young and has reportedly made the most of his opportunities in practice with Ryan Tannehill. Hooper could be a guy who averages 40-50 yards a game this and we need 23, so doable.
This game has a -5.5 spread and low total which should mean that we see both teams pass in all four quarters. Hooper can likely do this in two catches and if not you probably have three. Hooper had 2+ catches in 13/16 last year. The Giants will focus so much on stopping King Henry and it should open the play action to guys like Hoop. I think this is being severely overlooked by people and we could cash this in the 1st half.
