Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt have combined for 3.4 yards per carry on 28 rushes this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For context, Mahomes has more rushing yards so far than both running backs combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That should force the star quarterback into more passing situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Since the start of the 2021 season, Mahomes is averaging 37.5 pass attempts per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:118102\">Embed: #118102<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/american_football?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_campaign=sportsbook_nfl\">Full NFL markets<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nfl\/standingshttps:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nfl?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_campaign=sportsbook_nfl\">NFL player &amp; team stats<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/nfl-injury-report\"><strong>NFL injury report<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sunday Night Football prop pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Skattebo over 34.5 rushing yards (-110):<\/strong> The Giants&#8217; rookie back should continue getting more opportunities as the weeks go on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skattebo was rumbling last week with 45 yards on 11 carries.
