Josh Allen, the quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, continues to shorten as the betting favorite to finish first at the season's end among the NFL Passing Yards Leaders. Allen had a great week statistically for passing in Week 6. He threw for 329 yards and he finished tied for third among the weekly leaders for the category. Allen has had an impact on the NFL Receiving Yards Leaders race as well.
He and Stefon Diggs continue to make for a deadly duo. Diggs, Buffalo's top receiver, is currently second in the NFL in terms of receiving yards.
Last week when we visited the futures market to lead the NFL in passing yards, Allen was 2 to 1 with bet365 to pass for the most yards this regular season. He has shortened following Week 6. Heading into Week 7, Allen is a 7 to 4 favorite with bet365 sportsbook.
Diggs is a player that has also shortened for odds in the receiving yards race. Here's a look at the Top 5 statistical leaders for that category followed by the Top 5 betting favorites.
Top 5 NFL Receiving Yards Leaders - Week 7
- Tyreek Hill - 701 yards
- Stefon Diggs - 656 yards
- Justin Jefferson - 654 yards
- Cooper Kupp - 604 yards
- Jaylen Waddle - 533 yards
Top 5 Betting Favorites Regular Season Receiving Yards
- Justin Jefferson 6 to 1
- Tyreek Hill 6 to 1
- Stefon Diggs 6 to 1
- Cooper Kupp 13 to 2
- AJ Brown 15 to 1
This is a difficult market at this point in the season. Our earlier recommendations for this market were Tyreek Hill at 9 to 1 and Stefon Diggs at 8 to 1. However, these were players that had much better odds in previous weeks. Furthermore, Justin Jefferson has started to come on strong, and who can ignore Cooper Kupp's potential? This is a market to stand pat on for now and see how things shake up in the future.
