Possible Player Props
- A.J. Brown Over 4.5 receptions vs. Vikings – Eagles likely lean on their top receivers.
- Travis Kelce Over 5.5 receptions vs. the Raiders – With the spread large, KC’s passing volume is likely high.
- Jonathan Taylor Over 88.5 rushing yards vs. the Giants – Broncos’ front helps create opportunities.
- Justin Herbert Over 265.5 passing yards vs. Colts – High total game, Chargers will move the ball through the air and ground.
- Josh Allen has 0 interceptions vs. Titans – Consistency is important for Buffalo if they want playoff leverage.
Betting Strategy & Value Plays
- The large spread with the Chiefs (−11.5) gives value if you believe they dominate; consider “mid-week” line movement.
- Teams ahead of the bye may show a lack of energy. Let’s watch how the Eagles recover after recent losses.
- Props linked to dominant players (Kelce, Brown, Taylor) can yield value when lines don’t fully reflect the matchup.
- In lower-total games (Texans–Seahawks), consider under bets if weather or defensive strength dominates.
- For games with high totals (Lions–Buccaneers, Cowboys–Commanders), consider stacking receiver or QB yardage props where appropriate.
