Analyst says take the over on 4,200 passing yards for Lions' Matthew Stafford

How many passing yards will Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford have in 2020?

The over-under, as established by Caesars Sportsbook, is 4,199.5.

Stafford has played eight 16-game regular seasons in his NFL career and thrown for fewer than 4,200 yards only once – in 2018. That season, Stafford had 3,777 yards, with 21 touchdowns, 11 interceptions and a very average 89.9 quarterback rating.

ESPN’s Michael Rothstein says taking the over would be the smart play on this one.

“While coach Matt Patricia would like to run the ball more, Stafford was on pace for a 5,000-yard season (in 2019) before a back injury landed him on injured reserve,” Rothstein says. “The Lions have the potential for one of the more potent offenses in the league when players are healthy, and Stafford is a big enough part of that. In Darrell Bevell's offense, even a down year for Stafford should mean around 4,100 yards or so. As long as Stafford stays healthy, he should clear this number with ease.”
