Baker Mayfield Prop Bets
- Throwing 2+ touchdowns at +120 – WynnBET
It was a mixed bag for Baker Mayfield going up against his former team. The quarterback was not at the races early on – perhaps playing the occasion and not the game – but a rousing end to the contest almost got the Carolina Panthers a victory they didn’t deserve based on the contest overall.
Mayfield was phenomenal in the fourth quarter, producing a perfect passer rating and providing a much-needed spark that’s been sorely missing under center. Hopefully, this is momentum he can build upon in Week 2 at the New York Giants.
The former Oklahoma standout won’t have the added media glare that Week 1 brought for obvious reasons. Mayfield can relax, focus on football, and perhaps benefit from increased cohesion in pursuit of eradicating some silly errors.
The person that needs to keep a cool head is Ben McAdoo. This is the first time Carolina’s offensive coordinator will go up against the organization that fired him as head coach from a prominent coaching position, but this added incentive must not cloud his judgment.
Scheming things up better and adding a little creativity to the mix is essential. Mayfield has the tools, so backing him to throw two or more touchdowns at +120 (bet $100 to win $120) with WynnBET is something to consider.
