Calvin Ridley Over 1499.5 Rec Yards + Mike Davis Over 850.5 Rush Yards
Yes +450

Calvin Ridley Over 1499.5 Receiving Yards

Starting with Calvin Ridley’s side of the NFL odds, he is poised to have an even bigger season in 2021 than he did in 2020 and should be able to hold up his side of the wager.

Last season, Ridley put 1,374 receiving yards in 15 games played. Now in 2021 with 17 games, it opens up plenty of more opportunities for him to rack up more yards and meet this betting number.

The biggest factor in Ridley outperforming his 2020 breakout season is that Julio Jones is no longer casting a shadow over him. In fact, Ridley’s playing time without Julio Jones over the years has been spectacular. In the nine games that Ridley was the lead receiver without Jones playing, he put up 856 yards.

Now that Ridley has the whole season as the top dog for the receiving core, getting over 1449.5 receiving yards should not be an issue.

Mike Davis Over 850.5 Rush Yards

Mike Davis is going into this season as the Atlanta Falcons lead running back and has no real competition behind him. Davis served last season as a backup to Christian McCaffrey for the Carolina Panthers. However, McCaffrey was only able to play just three games after suffering an injury, which is when Davis was able to showcase his talents.

Davis put up 642 rush yards, six touchdowns, 373 receiving yards, and two receiving touchdowns. With Davis being the lead back now for a new team, the door is wide open for him to hit the Over.

There have been multiple reports coming from the Falcons organization that he is going to have a workhorse role in this offense and that there are no worries at all when it comes to him being able to get his carries.

All in all, at +450 odds, with the amount of work and playing time that these two are going to get, these odds should be very enticing for sports bettors to take this wager.
