NFL Week 4 Props: Josh Allen Aims for Over 216.5 Passing Yards

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — As NFL teams gear up for Week 4, standout performances are anticipated from several players, particularly Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason. The Bills are scheduled to face off against the New Orleans Saints at Highmark Stadium on Sunday.

Mason, acquired by the Vikings this offseason, shined last week against the Cincinnati Bengals, rushing for 116 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries. With Aaron Jones sidelined due to injury, Mason is projected to be the Vikings’ primary running back in their upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Ireland. The SportsLine Machine Learning Model forecasts he will rush for over 80.5 yards, capitalizing on the Steelers’ struggling defense.

The Steelers rank 26th in rushing defense, yielding an average of 139.3 yards per game. This statistic aligns with the model’s projection of Mason continuing his efficient play as a key figure for Week 4 prop bets.

Meanwhile, Allen is also expected to perform strongly, with the model predicting he will throw for 244 yards against the Saints. Allen has been an offensive powerhouse, averaging 251.7 passing yards per game this season. His history supports this outlook, as he has exceeded 250 yards in five of the last six seasons.

The Saints, currently 0-3 and facing a substantial 15.5-point spread, have struggled defensively. Despite being heavy underdogs, the Saints have shown flashes of competitiveness in tight games, making it uncertain whether Buffalo will dramatically shift to a run-heavy strategy.

Alan’s capability to deliver through the air, even in a blowout scenario, remains high. Last week, Sam Darnold needed only 18 attempts to surpass 218 passing yards against the Saints, highlighting potential opportunities for Allen.

In addition to Allen and Mason, Cleveland Browns receiver Jerry Jeudy is forecasted to exceed 47.5 receiving yards as part of the model’s best prop options for the week.
