(-110) Hines Ward Over 3.5 Receptions
- Panther Pass Defense only looks good on paper for ONE
misleading reason. Carolina has been stingy against the pass mainly because they get gashed on the ground and sport the worst offense in the NFL. That translates to large deficits, and teams typically run the ball when ahead so don't be fooled by that ranking. Ward will have his chances on Thursday night, and recently the passing game has centered around talented young WR Mike Wallace, so Ward can take advantage of better matchups heading towards the end of the season. Still, Ward has been inconsistent this season. He's posted four 100-yards efforts and six sub-20 yard efforts. If his hit-or-miss trend continues, he should have a good night against the Panthers. Consider the veteran to be a low-end No. 3 Fantasy WR or flex option.
- Ward can get his 950th Reception tonight by making 4 grabs,
also the number needed to win this wager.
- In their last nationally-televised game, also at home, Steelers fell
to New England. One of the reasons is Ward was taken out of the game early.
He wanted to play but because it was a head shot, team insisted he sit.
Ward wants the ball. He's hungry and will push Ben for action.
- favorable weather. low wind (-9mph), clear.
