Three Prop Bets for Cardinals-Rams

In this story:
ARIZONA -- The Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams are locked and loaded for a pivotal NFC West battle as both teams are trying to dig themselves out of a sub-.500 deficit early in the season.
Here's three prop bets to consider ahead of Week 6:
ESPN Doesn't Believe in Tyler Higbee
Mike Clay: Tyler Higbee under 35.5 receiving yards
"Higbee has reached 36 receiving yards in three of five games this season, but the veteran tight end was limited to 20 yards on three targets with Cooper Kupp back in the mix in Week 5. Last season, Higbee opened the year with 36-plus yards in five straight games before hitting 36 in only three of his final 12 outings. The Rams' top three wideouts handled 30 of the team's 39 targets last week and that trend might continue against an Arizona defense that has allowed the sixth-most WR receptions and yards, but also the fifth-fewest TE catches and 11th-fewest yards this season."
BettingPros Not High on Josh Dobbs
Pat Fitzmaurice: Joshua Dobbs UNDER 219.5 passing yards
"Credit Dobbs for stepping in and being a passable starting quarterback for the Cardinals while Kyler Murray recovers from a torn ACL. But this yardage total is giving him too much credit. Dobbs ranks 27th in yards per attempt and 25th in adjusted completion rate. The Rams’ pass defense has been unexpectedly competent this season, limiting opponents to 206.8 passing yards per game and 6.3 yards per attempt. The Rams have the league’s eighth-lowest opponent passer rating and fourth-lowest adjusted completion rate."
Action Network Likes Michael Wilson
Sean Koerner: Michael Wilson Longest Reception Over 16.5 Yards
"Wilson's average depth of target has been 13.6 yards down the field, and he has an expected 4.1 yards after the catch, according to NextGenStats. That means he's going to be a threat to go over this total on nearly every reception. I'm in line with the market that he'll get about three receptions here, which gives him three decent shots at clearing this total.
"Wilson has also thrived against zone coverage. He's yet to catch a pass against man coverage (19 total pass plays), while his 2.93 yards per route run against zone would rank ninth among qualified wide receivers. The Rams use zone coverage at the eighth-highest rate in the NFL.
"I'm projecting Wilson's median closer to 18.5 with a 62% chance to clear this number."
