Week 16 Prop #1: JK Dobbins Rushing Yards OVER

How many Rushing Yards Will Dobbins have?
OVER 54.5-120
UNDER 54.5EVEN

Odds from Sportsbook

JK Dobbins is back, he's healthy, and he's now the lifeblood of the Ravens' offense. With Lamar Jackson out at QB for Baltimore, Dobbins has been the lead contributor on the attack. In his last two games he's got 245 total rushing yards, breaking 100 yards and eight yards per carry in each contest. 

The Pick: Dobbins OVER 54.5 Rushing Yards (-104)

Prop #2: Daniel Jones Passing Touchdowns OVER

How Many Passing TD will Jones Have? 
OVER 1.5+150
UNDER 1.5-200

Odds from Sportsbook

Daniel Jones has passed for multiple touchdowns in just three games this year. But all of those times have come against shakey passing defenses (Titans, Ravens, Texans). Matching up against one of the worst passing defenses in the Vikings this weekend, Danny Dimes has another shot at two or more passing scores.

The Vikings let up the second-most passing yards per game in the NFL, allowing 278 air yards per contest on average. In three of Minnesota's last five games, the opposing QB has thrown for multiple passing scores.

The Pick: Jones OVER 1.5 Passing TD (+150) 

Prop #3: Austin Ekeler Rushing Yards OVER

How Many Rushing yards Will Ekeler Have?
OVER 50.5-110
UNDER 50.5-115

Odds from Sportsbook

Austin Ekeler can do it all, with nearly 700 rushing yards and over 600 receiving yards already this season. However, against the Colts this weekend, he'll keep the ball on the ground and add to his rushing total.

The Colts rank about middle of the pack in rushing defense on the season, but they've been brutal recently after a key injury to linebacker Shaq Leonard. In its last three games, Indianapolis has allowed 161 rushing yards per contest. 

In one career game against the Colts, Ekeler rushed for 58 yards and a touchdown.

The Pick: Ekeler OVER 50.5 rushing yards (-110)


What Is An NFL Prop Bet?

An NFL prop bet is a wager that has no direct impact on the outcome of a football game.

A prop bet is sometimes referred to as a “proposition” wager, and though these bets are often for entertainment purposes, they also give opportunity to hone in on a specific statistic or in-game matchup to profit off tiny bits of information.

NFL prop bets can range from NFL player props like a quarterback’s total passing yards, to a defensive player sack, or even more niche bets like QB rushing yards, passing attempts or other various OVER/UNDERs.

At your online betting site of choice, NFL prop bets could be something like:

  • • How many touchdowns will Lamar Jackson throw? OVER/UNDER 1.5
  • • How many sacks will J.J. Watt have? OVER/UNDER 1.5
  • • Will Josh Allen throw an interception? YES +110

How To Read NFL Prop Bet Odds

When you visit your favorite online sportsbook, you can find prop odds for most sports, and certainly every football game each weekend. Most kinds of props will look like the following example (with either YES/NO odds or OVER/UNDER odds):

How many touchdowns will Lamar Jackson throw against the New York Giants?

  • OVER 1.5 +200
  • UNDER 1.5 -200

In this NFL prop bets example, you can wager on whether you think the Ravens QB will throw two or more touchdowns against the Giants, or one or fewer. If you place $100 on Jackson to toss OVER 1.5 TD at +200 odds, you would return $300 (your $100 back, plus $200 in profit). If you win a bet wagering on the UNDER 1.5 at -200, you would need to wager $200 to profit $100. Calculate exact profits using Odds Shark’s sports betting calculator.
