It’s the best time of year for sports fans. College football and the NFL are in full force, the MLB playoffs are well on their way, and the NBA and NHL seasons are starting.
It can be tough for sports fans to choose what to watch on any given day, although, the NFL and college football remain as the top dogs.
There are several great matchups in the NFL and college football this weekend, and we’re excited to dive into our favorite player props for Sunday’s NFL games.
If you’ve been following along, you’ll know that we’ve hit on 5 of the past 7 props we’ve given out, so we’re certainly hoping to keep that streak alive this week. Let’s get into it!
This line might seem high to you, but let’s talk about how Justin Jefferson has dominated the Detroit Lions lately. The Minnesota Vikings superstar has already played the Lions eight times in his career and has put up at least 124 yards in six of those games.
He had 192 and 141 against them last year, an indication they don’t seem to have an answer for him. With that in mind, you can confidently take the over in the spot despite it being a high number!
Dalton Schultz’s season high in yards thus far was 34. So why is his line this high? The answer is that he’s playing the Green Bay Packers’ defense.
Their defense has been mostly strong all season, but their one weakness has been against tight ends. They allowed 96 yards to Trey McBride last week, 52 to Colby Parkinson the week prior, and 42 yards to Josh Whyle, of all people.
Schultz is a much better player than Parkinson and Whyle, so we feel confident he’s due for a boom game against a Packers defense that stinks against tight ends.
Terry McLaurin has turned into one of Jayden Daniels’ favorite targets, which has resurrected his NFL career. McLaurin looked great early on in his journey, but the past few years have been suboptimal.
Daniels is quick to look his way, and he’s had at least five catches in three of his past five games.
McLaurin and Daniels should have a field day against a subpar Carolina Panthers defense, and we wouldn’t be surprised if the veteran wideout surpassed the 10-catch mark this week.
