NBC Sports Betting Analyst Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) estimates Shedeur Sanders OVER 304.5 passing yards
“Sanders started 2023 with over 300 passing yards in four of his first five games and eclipsed the 300-yard mark in four of six home games. Colorado’s offensive success will largely come from Sanders’ ability to stretch the field (10.8 yards per pass) and minimize turnovers (3 interceptions), so his passing yards prop will be a good OVER bet in most games.”
