NFL Most Passing Yards Leader - My Pick

Patrick Mahomes (+175) at FanDuel Sportsbook

Although Mahomes currently sits third with 3,238 yards, he trails the current leader, Drake Maye (3,412 yards), by only 174 yards despite having played one fewer game. Crucially, Maye and the Patriots are on a bye in Week 14, giving Mahomes a golden opportunity to leapfrog him on the leaderboard this week; he needs just an average performance (roughly 175 yards) against the Chargers to claim the No. 1 spot.

Furthermore, with the Chiefs sitting at 6-6 and fighting for their playoff lives, the team will rely heavily on Mahomes' arm down the stretch, ensuring the high passing volume and aggressive game scripts necessary to sustain his lead over rival Dak Prescott.

How to Bet on the NFL Passing Yards Leader Odds

The NFL Passing Yards leader is a futures market that allows you to bet on which quarterback will lead the NFL in passing yards. It’s a pretty straightforward market; the player with the most wins. Betting on a player to do so is pretty straightforward.

To begin, I suggest conducting some research into the top players on the board, i.e., who they play for, their team’s offensive philosophy, roster depth (receivers and o-line), play calling, etc. Once you feel like you can make an informed decision, do the following:

• Read our sportsbook reviews and decide on a sportsbook(s) to join. Download their respective sports betting apps and register for a new account.

• Be sure to do whatever you need to so that you can claim their welcome bonus.

• Find the page with ‘NFL Passing Yards Leader odds’ and locate the player you wish to bet on.

• Fill out the betting slip and place your bet.

How to Read NFL Passing Yards Leader Odds

As a futures market, the odds for a player to lead the league in passing yards will be a three-digit number with either a + or – in front of it, designating whether the market has ‘plus money odds’ or minus money odds.’ What does that mean?

If a player has plus money odds, i.e., +110, +500, +900, +1500, etc., the number is what a $100 wager at those odds would win. For example, a $100 bet +110 would result in a $210 payday, your stake plus $110 in winnings.

But if it’s later in the season and it’s become obvious who will probably win, that player will have ‘minus money odds’ like -110, -250, -500, etc. What that means is that to win $100, you’ll need to bet that number.

For example, if your player has odds of -500, it will take a $500 wager to win $100.
