Arizona Cardinals vs. New Orleans Saints Prediction, Player Prop Pick: Can Juwan Johnson Produce on TNF?

Arizona Cardinals vs. New Orleans Saints Prediction, Player Prop Pick: Can Juwan Johnson Produce on TNF?

The New Orleans Saints are going to travel all the way to Glendale, Arizona tonight to take on the Arizona Cardinals. I know that the Thursday night games have sucked for the last couple of weeks but something tells me that this one will be different. For starters, nothing could be worse than the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts game a couple of weeks ago. That was a tragedy from start to finish. I was hoping the players wouldn't even come back out after halftime. So since we established a bottom, I think we're heading in the right direction these days. And since that's what we're doing, we're going to need a bet to commemorate the occasion. Feels right. Let's get into my prediction, player prop pick, and odds for Thursday's game between the Arizona Cardinals vs. New Orleans Saints.

Arizona Cardinals vs. New Orleans Saints Player Prop Pick

Juwan Johnson 40+ Receiving Yards (+174) (Bet $100 to collect $174)

*Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing*

We get to decide what kind of people we want to be today. Are we the kind of people that takes Juwan Johnson over 25.5 receiving yards for -125 at DraftKings? Or are we the type that will go for the 40+ (+174) at FanDuel? I get going with DraftKings here as that's the only place you can play. Nobody is going to judge you for that. But if you have a choice, I sincerely hope you'd go 40+ (+174) at FanDuel. It just makes you feel alive.

Arizona Cardinals vs. New Orleans Saints Player Prop Prediction

Juwan Johnson. Tell me that's not a sweet name for an NFL football player. He just sounds like a silky smooth, 6'4", 231 pounds, wide receiver turned tight end from the University of Oregon. Don't let this guy fool you though. He's more than just a sweet name. The guy can fly and he can catch. People have been waiting on his breakout for years now and while it has not come yet, it could still be on the way. Maybe even tonight.

Juwan Johnson is the TE1 at the moment for a New Orleans team that needs pass catchers. In the past couple of weeks, Adam Trautman was nipping at his heels but Trautman got hurt last week so it's back to full-time Juwan. We like that. Given the fact that Micheal Thomas and Jarvis Landry are both out as well, things are looking even better for Juwan. We're talking about a guy who's gone over this number in three of the six games he's played this season, including last week. He can do this.

Tonight Juwan Johnson will be looking at an Arizona team that couldn't cover a tight end with a tarp. So far this season, no team in the NFL has given up more receiving yards to the position. Not one. We're 504 yards so far. Because of that, the Cardinals have seen tight ends targeted more than anyone else (57). Noah Fant just went 6-45 on these guys last week. He never does that anymore. I think this could be the greatest play of our lifetimes.
