After having success giving out three player prop picks for quarterbacks and three player prop picks for running backs in separate articles, we are combining the best of those props into a single article from here on out.
The running back props finished up 7.2 units, and the quarterback props finished up 5.2 units. We hope to continue that success going forward.

• Lions have a huge advantage in the passing game: Coming into this week, the Detroit Lions rank fourth in the NFL in expected points added (EPA) per pass attempt. The Chicago Bears rank dead last in EPA allowed per pass play on defense.
