    Please explain in detail how this prop is graded. Blount vs Lynch rushing yards

    L.Blount
    vs. M.Lynch
    rush. yards L.Bl. +29½ -105
    M.Ly. -29½-125

    If Blount rushes for 70 and Lynch rushes for 100 yards, does that mean the Lynch prop wins? You are not actually adding 29.5 to Blount or subtracting 29.5 from Lynch. I always get confused with these props. So much different than sides and totals. Am I right in this thinking? Feedback.

    Yes, it is just like sides

    lynch needs to "win" by 30 or more rushing yards to cover

    It is EXACTLY the same as a point spread. Lynch is -29.5 yards. So given your scenario, Lynch wins by one-half "point" (yard).

    Lunch could run for 29 yards and Blount get 2 carries for 0 yards and Blount still wins the bet and covers the spread

    If Lynch is caught smoking a Blount the bet is cancelled.

    yes you have to lay a lot of juice. But the books are NOT giving away free money, so there is a good chance it happens
