We’ve taken a close look at the stats and matchups and found 5 of the best prop bets for Saturday's action. We think you’re going to love these NFL player props.
Player Prop Odds: -105
Justin Herbert is looking better than ever and has thrown for 18 touchdowns this season. Now he faces a New England Patriots defense that's been fairly vulnerable against the pass.
The Patriots rank 24th in passing yards allowed per game and have struggled to put together any amount of consistent pressure.
Herbert has blown this mark in 5 of his last 9 games, and with the Chargers leaning on the pass more than the rush (they’re only 24th in rushing yards per game), we expect him to air it out a bit more in this matchup.
The favorable -105 odds add just a little value to this pick, especially given the Patriots’ 2-10 record in games decided by a single score. Herbert is going to have no problem notching at least 2 TDs this game, if not more.
Player Prop Odds: +145
Ja’Marr Chase is one of the league's most explosive receivers. He’s boasting a monstrous 1,510 yards and 16 touchdowns this season and he’s not slowing down.
He’s a consistent red-zone threat and the Broncos don’t have the tools to stop him. The Bengals are taking on a Broncos secondary that ranks 26th in passing yards allowed per game and has plenty of TDs to go with those yards.
Chase’s connection with Joe Burrow is undeniable and fairly impressive. With Denver giving up a whopping 28.2 points per game, there’s plenty of scoring potential in this game. We simply don’t see this game unraveling without Chase finding the end zone at least once.
At +145 odds, Chase’s anytime touchdown prop is a really nice plus-money play.
Player Prop Odds: -120
Interceptions are always tricky prop bets, but this one feels like a solid bet.
Kyler Murray has been efficient with the football since returning from injury. Sure, he’s had a couple of games with multiple interceptions, but he has more games with 0 interceptions than he does anything else.
Then you throw in the fact that he faces a Rams defense that ranks 17th in passing yards allowed and hasn’t been overly opportunistic, with only 11 interceptions on the season putting them in the middle of the pack.
Murray’s ability to escape pressure and protect the football we think should shine through in what could be a low-risk passing game for Arizona.
Though they’re not the best odds of the day, the -120 odds tell us that even the bookmakers have some confidence in Murray’s recent trend of clean performances.
Player Prop Odds: +100
How this man doesn’t have a single TD all season is mind-boggling. However, he definitely gets the targets.
Trey McBride has become a focal point of the Cardinals' passing attack as he’s averaging a staggering 8.6 receptions over his last 5 games.
With Kyler Murray targeting him heavily, McBride has easily cleared this line in 4 of his last 5 contests and today’s game should be no different.
The Rams have struggled against TEs, giving up an average of 6.4 receptions per game to the position. At even money, McBride’s reception total is a solid bet all day long — especially given Arizona's reliance on short passes to move the chains and that’s where McBride shines the most.
Player Prop Odds: -115
Kyren Williams has been an absolute workhorse for the Rams. He’s averaging 82.9 rushing yards per game and notching 5.4 yards per carry.
Now he’s facing a Cardinals defense that ranks just 24th in rushing yards allowed and has been dominated by opposing backs all season.
With the Rams favored by 6.5 points, we think the game flow should allow Williams plenty of opportunities to grind out yards and keep the clock moving.
Given that he’s eclipsed this mark in 4 of his last 5 games, we’re taking the over on his rushing total.
These player props highlight a decent mix of over and under picks, along with a couple of really nice plus-money bets.
Whether you’re backing Herbert’s arm, Chase’s touchdown potential, or even McBride’s reliable hands, there’s something here we think you’ll love betting on.
Head to your favorite sportsbook and lock those bets in for the Saturday football action.
