The NFL playoffs are here! There are three games kicking off the action on Saturday and why not make the games a little more interesting with a few player props for each game? Below, I will highlight my favorite props to bet on for Saturday’s slate!
#DegensOnly Prop Bet – Dawson Knox to have 100 receiving yards + 1 touchdown + Bills Win 142/1
There is not much of a handicap behind a 142/1 prop bet, that is why we call it a #DegensOnly longshot bet. However, if the Colts are trying to contain Diggs, this opens the possibility for a big game for Dawson Knox.
In the two games this season against the Rams, D.K. Metcalf struggled. In Week 10, he had a total of four targets and two catches for 28 yards. Furthermore, in the second game in Week 16, Metcalf had eight total targets and six catches for 59 yards. I expect Jalen Ramsey to be matched up against Metcalf and keep him contained as the Rams defense did in two earlier season matchups. Lastly, with a low total in this game, I expect the running game to be featured and limit the passing game for both teams.
Cam Akers to have at least 67 Rushing Yards
Cam Akers quickly became the top running back for the Rams once he returned from injury. As a matter of fact, since Week 13, Akers has rushed a minimum of 15 times. Furthermore, Akers has 20 carries or more in three out of the last four weeks. In addition, the quarterback situation is still up in the air for the Rams. However, whoever the Rams decide to start I expect them to rely on the running game and protect the football from the arms of the Rams quarterbacks.
#DegensOnly Prop Bet – Malcolm Brown to have 85+ Rushing Yards and 1+ Touchdowns 50/1
If the Rams establish the running game in this game, I could see Brown have some big runs, especially if Sean McVay approaches this game by going running back by committee.
In the last 10 weeks of the season, Dustin Hopkins made two or more fields in eight of the games. Furthermore, we expect to see a defensive game between these two teams so field goal opportunities will be there, especially if red-zone opportunities are at a premium.
#DegensOnly Prop Bet – Ron Gronkowski to have 150+ Receiving Yards and 2+ Touchdowns 66/1
We know the experience Brady and Gronk have playing together in the playoffs. So why not bet on Brady pass to a tight end who he is extremely familiar with and is reliable.
