    Jonathan Coachman is joined by expert sports bettors Mike McClure, Max Gorenstein and Larry Hartstein on The Early Edge podcast. They give you their best bets for the NFL and soccer for Sunday, Sept. 19.

    Coach starts things off with three SportsLine Plays of the Day, all in the Premier League match between Tottenham and Chelsea (11:30 a.m. ET): Chelsea to win (-145), Under 2.5 goals (-145) and Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku to score (+100). 

    McClure chimes in with a pair of NFL prop bets, both in the game between Dallas and the Los Angeles Chargers (4:25 p.m. ET). The first: Over 306.5 passing yards for Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. "This number is awfully soft," Mike says. "He's gone over this number several times, including last week."

    His second play is Over 73.5 receiving yards for Dallas' Amari Cooper. "I love this play here as well," McClure says. "I have this one all the way up to 89.5 in the simulations."

    Gorenstein follows with two NFL prop bets of his own. The first is Over 317.5 passing yards for Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes in the game between the Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football (8:20 p.m. ET). "He's been very dominant against the AFC North," Max says. "He's 7-0 in his career, averaging 362 passing yards a game. His lowest number in those games is 326."

    His other play is Over 50.5 receiving yards for Jacksonville's D.J. Chark in the contest between the Jaguars and Denver Broncos (1 p.m. ET). "(He) got 12 targets last week, which I don't think is a fluke," Gorenstein says. "He got to 86 yards on just three catches. Now he gets to face the Broncos, who allowed three different Giants wide receivers to go over 60 yards (in Week 1)."

    Hartstein closes things out with an NFL prop bet: Under 96.5 combined yards rushing and receiving for Pittsburgh's Najee Harris in the game between the Steelers and Las Vegas Raiders (1 p.m. ET). "I think the Raiders defense is improved, but mainly, I think the Steelers O-line is just as bad as it was last year," Larry says. "At Buffalo (last week), Najee Harris averaged 2.8 yards a carry, (and) 78 percent of his 45 yards were after contact."
