QB GENO SMITH: Over 204.5 passing yards (-115)
We’re onto Week 2 of the Geno Smith experience, as starting quarterback Russell Wilson is still nursing the finger injury he suffered against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5.
Yes, Smith wasn't great last week, as his 67.3 PFF grade shows. And yes, this is still the same quarterback who has earned just two single-game grades above 80.0 over his nine-year career. However, the Saints' strong run defense coupled with what should be a pass-heavy game script for the Hawks could work in Smith's favor.
Not only does the Saints defense rank 24th in team coverage grade since Week 4, but they play predominantly Cover 1 and Cover 3. Smith generated a 77.6 passing grade against Cover 1 and Cover 3 in Week 6, compared to a 57.6 grade against Cover 2.
PFF’s Player Props tool gives Smith a 55% chance of covering and throwing for 205 or more yards this week.
