My analysis
A lot has been said about the game selection for this year’s matchup in Munich, Germany. It’s certainly true the New York Giants facing the Carolina Panthers isn’t the most mouth-watering game for neutral fans. However, it does give the European fanbase a chance to see one of this year’s most exciting rookies, Malik Nabers.

Nabers was a stud at LSU and has shone since being drafted sixth overall by the Giants in April. His first game showed us a glimpse of what he can do, with five catches for 66 yards, displaying his agility and speed. Then he exploded in Week 2 and has continued to shine ever since. When picking the best prop bet around Nabers, there’s only one way we could go: to back him to have Over 6.5 receptions.

He's had seven or more receptions in five of seven games so far this season. The only games he didn’t were in Week 1 when he made his debut, and Week 7, in which he was returning from the concussion. He's a huge part of the Giants' game plan and already their best player on either side of the ball.

Across the past two weeks, he’s had 16 catches, but what’s been really exciting is he’s had a total of 24 targets in that time frame. In fact, we’ve seen Nabers with 84 catches already in his short career, an average of 12 per game. That is truly elite volume and one of the reasons that Nabers is such an exciting talent from a betting or fantasy perspective.

The Panthers haven’t been good against wideouts this season, either. Only seven teams have given up more yards through the air than them (232.6 yards per game), and they’ve allowed an average of over 11 receptions per game to wide receivers. Nabers is the main man in the Giants’ WR corps and will get the bulk of the volume, even if the team does like Wan’Dale Robinson.

Nabers is one of the brightest young talents in the league, has been getting a huge volume of targets, and now faces a poor pass defense. Back him to have Over 6.5 receptions, and you have a great chance of the bet cashing.

In addition to our best Nabers player prop for the game, we’re also going to treble down on the rookie. First up, we’re taking Nabers Over 76.5 receiving yards.

It’s a number he’s only hit in three of seven games this season and most recently in Week 4. However, that should change here. The Panthers are allowing 232.6 receiving yards per game, and Nabers should be able to take a large chunk of that.

The past two weeks, Nabers had double-digit targets, and given he’s averaged 10.1 yards per reception across the season, he should be able to convert the high volume into yards.

Then, to wrap up the SGP, we’re going to back him to find the end zone. He scored three times in the first three weeks of the season but hasn't found the end zone since. He’s been working his way back from the concussion he suffered against the Dallas Cowboys and will be continuing to see high volume, which should translate into opportunity here.
