What are NFL Prop Bets
NFL Prop Bets or Prop Bets in general are bets on the occurrence or non-occurrence of a specific thing to happen during a game. Instead of betting on the outcome of a game, you’re betting on the proposition of something within the game.. The most popular types of prop bets are NFL player prop bets and NFL team prop bets, focussing on individual players or teams performances respectively. Both NFL player props and NFL team props tend to take the format of over/unders bets on stats such as yards, sacks and touchdowns or the occurrence and non-occurrence of events within a game, you can even wager on when these events will happen. In other words, there’s a huge range of NFL Prop markets for every game, all season long.

NFL Player Props
NFL Player Prop Bets are centered around a player’s performance in a particular game. The most commonly wagered NFL Player Prop Bets are passing yards, receiving yards, rushing yards, or a combination of the two for all-purpose yards, these are often an over/unders bet on your chosen players line set by the sportsbook. Near enough all online sportsbooks offering odds on football also offer odds on Player Touchdowns, be it First, Last, or anytime. Defensive players aren’t forgotten in the Prop Bet markets either, with options to wager on a player to record an interception or a sack also available as well as over/unders bets on these stats.
For example, if you think a match-up between the Ravens and the Bills is too close to call and the moneyline odds don’t offer the value you’re looking for, you can still exploit two of the NFL’s top quarterbacks and wager on Lamar Jackson to rack up rushing yards or Josh Allen to have a good day passing the ball. Of course, there’s a whole host of other player prop options available, such as Zay Flowers’ receiving yards, Tyler Bass’ field goals, which player will score the first touchdown and many more.

In the age of statistics and fantasy football, player prop betting is a great way to utilize the wealth of information available to place a wager on a player’s individual performance.

Best NFL Prop Bets
NFL Player props and NFL prop bets generally offer a ton of opportunity. The sheer number of NFL players means the prop lines offered by sportsbooks are more prone to inefficiency than the spread or totals, hundreds of players need to be priced each week of the season, so successful NFL prop bets depend on finding and exploiting these lines. That’s where our experts come in, we do the research for you and find the lines to target.
The best NFL props require expertise and data-driven insights, that’s why we analyse all the stats and game conditions when making NFL player props and all our prop bets. Here are some of the statistics and strategies that go into the best NFL props.
- Pace of Play
Games with two top-10 pace teams have roughly 10% more offensive plays on average, making the overs on passing, receiving and rushing yards for key players a strong bet. - Injuries
When a starting wide-receiver or running back is ruled out, sportsbooks tend to under-adjust the replacement, but with a 20-30% increase in target share being common these situations can be exploited in the prop market. - Weather
In the winter months, teams and players have to adapt to the conditions. For example, if the wind is over 15mph pass yards reduce by 12% on average, making the unders on pass yards and receiving yards a good opportunity. Alternatively, this opens the possibilities for a spike in rushing yards or interceptions as well. - Adapting to Defenses
Identifying how teams operate on the defensive end can open up possibilities for props on offensive players. Blitz-heavy defenses often force the opposing quarterback to improvise, the more athletic or mobile QBs see a surge in their rush attempts in these matchups. Similarly, slot receivers often get more catches and potentially a boom in yards against zone defenses, players such as Cooper Kupp and Amon-Ra St. Brown have had great performances in these situations.
