The NFL season is right around the corner, for now. Pending any delays or stoppages, football is set to begin in the second week of September.
One of the most talked-about players entering this season is former LSU QB and current Bengals QB Joe Burrow. The rookie tore up college football, winning a national championship as well as the Heisman.

Online bookmaker 10Bet has Burrow’s O/U passing yards set at 3925.5.
Destined to be the next great thing in pro football, Cincinnati is happy to have this guy in their system. But for a team that finished in the basement of the NFL last season, are expectations too high for the rookie?
Slotted as the number one QB on the Bengals’ depth chart, it will be sink or swim for Burrow. Thankfully for him, he has several offensive weapons that will make the transition from college to pro smoothly.
WR’s AJ Green and Tyler Boyd will be crucial every time Burrow hits the field. Their experience in the NFL will help the transitioning rookie as well. Add in the talented Tee Higgins and RB Joe Mixon, the Bengals’ offense has the potential to be a force this season.
Can Joe Burrow exceed expectations? The current O/U for passing yards is 3925.5 (according to 10Bet). To put that into perspective, only 11 QB’s last season had more passing yards than the given number above. Burrow certainly has talent around him, but the bookies are asking a lot for him to reach the over this season.
Crazier things have happened in the NFL, but there is a reason the Under is listed at -150. Can Burrow reach the Over, or is the Under the safe bet in this instance?
