Odds Shark’s Top Week 16 TNF Prop Bet: George Kittle Receiving Yards

For most tight ends, 72.5 receiving yards is a high mark to hit. But not for 49ers TE George Kittle, especially given how he’s playing lately. In the month of December (three games), Kittle has 425 receiving yards, averaging 142 per game, and has broken this line of 72.5 yards in every game. He has 33 targets in his last three games and is clearly the main passing weapon in this San Francisco attack.

The Pick: Kittle OVER 72.5 Receiving Yards

TNF Prop Bet #2: Ryan Tannehill Interception

Ryan Tannehill continues to struggle to keep the football in 2021. He has thrown an interception in seven of his last nine games and has tossed six picks in his last four contests.

The 49ers are not a great ball-hawking team, with just six interceptions on the season, but that’s probably why this line is such good value. I’ll bet on San Francisco’s defense running into a bad throw and Tannehill keeping his pick-happy ways going.

The Pick: Tannehill OVER .5 Interceptions -125

How To Place A Thursday Night Football Prop Bet:

A prop bet, short for proposition bet, is a bet on any contest or match event that does not directly impact the final score. You can place a bet on a point spread, total or straight-up winner, but props are a good way to stay engaged regardless of the score. NFL prop bets and TNF props are also great ways to take advantage of your research or roster moves that may impact carries or targets on any given week.

You can place one of these many TNF prop bets at any of our recommended NFL betting sites. 

How To Read TNF Prop Bets:

Reading prop bet odds is just like reading any futures odds. If you were to look at fictional NFL First Touchdown Scorer odds for a Cowboys vs Buccaneers game, the odds would look like:

Amari Cooper +300
Tom Brady +450
Rob Gronkowski +700
CeeDee Lamb +1000

If you believe that Cooper is going to score the first TD from these TNF prop odds, and you wagered $40 on him, a winning bet would give you a payout of $160 – your original $40 is returned along with your prize of $120. To find out how much you would make for any bet, consult our Odds Calculator.
