Top Bet of the Week: Kenneth Walker's Rushing Yards Under in First Quarter

This week, the focus is indeed on Kenneth Walker's performance in the first quarter against a stout New England defense. The initial line for Walker's under on first-quarter rushing yards started at 18.5, but it has since adjusted to 17.5 at most sportsbooks. Regardless of a further drop to 16.5, the under still appears to be a strong bet.

Given the dynamics of the game and the New England defense, particularly with Milton Williams bolstering the middle, it's unlikely that Walker will exceed the total. He is expected to have limited carries, and achieving a high average against this defense seems improbable. With Williams in play, the Patriots have limited lead backs to under 2.6 yards per carry in first quarters across the last nine games. The prediction is for Walker to see maybe 4 or 5 carries, and at an average unlikely to reach 4 or 5 yards each, making this particular betting line especially appealing for those looking at game specifics and player performance trends.
