Najee Harris On Pace For Big SNF Against Seahawks

• Najee Harris’ rushing total on SNF is 73.5 yards.
• Najee Harris’ total carries is set at 19.
• There are -150 odds for Najee Harris to score a touchdown.

PITTSBURGH – The Pittsburgh Steelers are going into Sunday Night Football as 5-point favorites over the Seattle Seahawks. Legal online sportsbooks have Najee Harris prop bets, who is expected to have a big game.

Harris is being set up nicely in Week 6 with a cakewalk of a matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks have the second-worst run defense in the league allowing for 145.2 rushing yards per game. With that, the Seahawks have also allowed the Over to hit in their last four games.

Just last week, the Seahawks allowed LA Rams running back Darrell Henderson to run for 82 yards which included 58 of those yards coming from the right side. Harris is also coming off of a Week 5 matchup where he exploited the right side of the field where he saw 70 of his 122 yards.

With the left side of the Seahawks’ front seven being one of their weakest links, Harris is expected to attack that side once again and hitting the Over.

While Harris has only gone Over 19 carries once this season, his role is expected to increase even more than it already is with Juju Smith-Schuster now out for the year. Backing up his odds to hit the Over, even more, is that he currently leads the NFL in snap counts averaging 56 per game at 87% of snaps.

Also, the Steelers could be playing from out in front the majority of the game which could open up more running opportunities for Harris as well.

With his league-leading snap share and his ability to both run and receive at an elite level, his NFL odds to score a touchdown can be taken here.

Harris is currently the leader on the Steelers in red zone targets with nine which speaks volumes with receivers such as Dionte Johnson and Chase Claypool also on the field. He is also 14 in the league in red zone rushing attempts this season with 7 and is second in rush percentage in the red zone at 87.5% of rushing attempts.

Harris has three total touchdowns this season and is in line for one more in Week 6.
