Another one of the NFL prop picks from the model: Robert Woods goes over 60.5 receiving yards. In fact, the model says he'll pick up 69. After being targeted 10 times just once in the first nine games of the season, Woods has reached double-digits in three straight.
In the last three games, Woods has been thrown to 38 times and come down with 29 catches for 295 yards and a score. Woods has topped 60.5 receiving yards in seven of his 12 contests this season.
