James Cook (BUF) Over 19.5 Player reception yds alternate (+200)

Based on the available data, betting on James Cook to achieve over 19.5 in the 'player_reception_yds_alternate' market appears to be a risky option. His recent performance and trends do not support a strong likelihood of this outcome. Cook's overall hit rate over the last 20 games is just 2/20, and specifically at home, it improves only slightly to 6/20. When playing against Tampa Bay, his hit rate is 0/1, both overall and at home. Looking at his more recent performance, Cook has not hit the mark in his last 10 games overall, with a hit rate of only 1/10 at home. Furthermore, his current hit streak in all categories is 0, suggesting a lack of momentum. While the model edge is slightly positive, it's not significant enough to outweigh these performance trends. Therefore, this bet appears to carry a high level of risk.
