Best Raiders-Steelers prop bets Week 3: Josh Jacobs, Najee Harris highlight our top parlay picks  image

One of the NFL's fiercest rivalries will be reignited on "Sunday Night Football" in Week 3 when the 1-1 Raiders (-2.5) host the 1-1 Steelers (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC). For SuperDraft users looking to make an entry via SuperDraft's Fantasy Props feature, we're here to guide you in the right direction toward profitability. 

SuperDraft users can win 3X the amount wagered if their two-legged player prop parlay hits. Consequently, the more legs you add to your player prop parlay, the larger your potential payout becomes, but as the long odds indicate, completing a clean sweep is challenging.

Below, we'll break down four of our favorite SuperDraft player props for Sunday night's Steelers-Raiders contest. Users don't necessarily have to parlay all four picks together, though. Instead, you could make separate multi-leg parlays to increase your win probability or attempt to hit it big if all three picks come through.

Best Raiders-Steelers prop bets: SuperDraft player prop picks for Week 3

*10x potential payout if users parlay all four correct picks

1. Josh Jacobs, RB, Raiders — OVER 71.5 rushing yards 

When we released our Raiders-Steelers betting preview on Wednesday, Jacobs' OVER 63.5 rushing yards stood out as our favorite prop. Although his rushing yardage prop has gotten steamed up to 71.5, we still like last season's rushing yards leader to go OVER this number. Despite logging -2 rushing yards on nine carries against a sound Bills' defensive line, the Steelers' run defense isn't the same without All-Pro defensive lineman Cam Heyward. 

Pittsburgh's allowed a league-worst 193 rushing yards per game, and with Las Vegas potentially in a positive game script as short home favorites, Jacobs could see 15-plus carries, boosting his chances of totaling 72 rushing yards.

2. Najee Harris, RB, Steelers — UNDER 49.5 rushing yards

Despite the Raiders defense allowing the sixth-most rushing yards per game through two weeks (138.5), we're fading Harris at this number. Fellow RB Jaylen Warren has seen an increase in snaps the past two weeks, with the backfield essentially being a 60-40 split in favor of Harris. 

While Harris is the superior pass blocker, his lack of explosiveness and ability to get to the edge is a glaring cause for concern. Harris is averaging just 37 rushing yards per game, going UNDER his rushing prop in consecutive weeks, so we'll continue to fade him at a slightly inflated number.

3. Davante Adams, WR, Raiders — OVER 73.5 receiving yards

Adams should have no trouble winning outside against an exploitable Steelers secondary. Jimmy Garoppolo's go-to wideout currently owns the third-highest target share (34.7 percent) and second-highest air yards share among WRs (48 percent) and could easily see 10-plus targets on Sunday night. That's more than enticing enough for us to bet him to record 74-plus receiving yards. It doesn't hurt that safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (chest) might not be patrolling the Steelers' secondary this week either.

4. George Pickens, WR, Steelers — OVER 51.5 receiving yards

With Diontae Johnson (hamstring) out, Pickens did his part in Pittsburgh's Week 2 win over Cleveland, hauling in four-of-10 targets for 127 yards and a TD. While Kenny Pickett's accuracy issues led to Pickens catching just 40 percent of his targets, the fact he received so many looks is encouraging. In what could be a higher-scoring contest than most think, look for Pickens to post another strong stat line.
