Definition of Most Passing Yards of Game

What does the term "most passing yards of game" mean in the world of football betting? What is meant by the "most passing yards of game" line?

The "most passing yards of game" line is very straightforward - you are simply betting on which starting quarterback will pass for the most yards over the course of a single game.

For instance, let's say that the Kansas City Chiefs are playing host to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The "most passing yards of game" line might look like this:

Patrick Mahomes, -295
Trevor Lawrence, +220

So, in this case, Mahomes is obviously the clear favorite to pass for the most yards between the two starting quarterbacks.

A successful $295 bet on Mahomes would yield a total profit of $100, while a successful $100 wager on Lawrence would result in a total profit of $295.

There are obviously numerous points to consider when betting on these lines.

For instance, if you think that the Chiefs will blow out the Jags, Mahomes might not be the best value, as the Chiefs would likely be switching to a mostly running attack early in the second half, while Lawrence would be slinging it all game, trying to catch his team up.

If, on the other hand, you are forecasting a close game, Mahomes would surely be the superior value.
