Several NFL running backs have some good Over/Under prop lines heading into Week 3. Take a look at our three best running back props for Week 3.

Best Running Back Props For Week 3

Rb Props W3

Top RB Prop Predictions

Hunt Over 43.5 rushing yards (-115) ★★★★

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt rushed for 46 yards in Week 1 and 58 in Week 2. The Pittsburgh Steelers are allowing 128.5 rushing yards per game, which ranks 22nd in the league. The wind is expected to be 16 miles per hour for Thursday Night Football, but with gusts up to 25 mph, meaning teams will be more likely to keep the ball on the ground.

Montgomery Over 66.5 rushing yards (-115) ★★★★

The Chicago Bears' 28 pass attempts through two games are 24 fewer than any other team. They are a run-first team that was able to open up the run game last week when David Montgomery ran for 122 yards. This week the Bears face the Houston Texans, who are the third-worst team against the run by allowing 163.0 yards per game.

Patterson Over 40.5 rushing yards (-120) ★★★★★

The Seattle Seahawks rank 25th against the run, allowing 146.0 yards per game. The Falcons’ lead running back is Cordarelle Patterson who exceeded 40.5 yards in each of the first two games. I think Patterson and the Falcons' game plan get back on track closer to Week 1’s 120 yards after he had a 41 on 10 carries in a come-from-behind effort last week.
