Wild Card Weekend is HERE! It's been a great season betting the NFL prop market and that will no doubt continue this week.
Here are my 4 favorite prop bets for this weekend that are must bets!
I am 13-7 over the last 5 weeks on these article plays so let's keep the good vibes rolling and start the playoffs with 4 winning props and a sweep!
Let's dive in and unwrap my favorite props this weekend!
All Odds are playable at:
Ray-Ray McCloud o 0.5 Receiving Prop (+110)
Let's get rolling with one of the weirder prop lines I have ever seen.
This is very much a boom or bust bet but we simply need 1 yard from McCloud.
One.
He had 16 yards in both matchups against the Seahawks this season and eclipsed 1 yard in 11 of 16 games this year.
At the plus money value for McCloud to literally have a catch for 1 yard is too good to pass up.
TJ Hockenson o4.5 Receptions (-125)
Hockenson has a great matchup against the Giants and exploited that matchup in Week 16.
He had a whopping 13 catches in that game and went for 109 yards.
The Giants are going to be hyper focused on stopping Justin Jefferson which will open up a lot of space and opportunity for Hockenson to feast across the middle and underneath.
Kirk Cousins will be harassed by the Giants pass rush and will have to take check downs and underneath throws, giving Hockenson plenty of chances.
Christian McCaffrey o115.5 Rush/Rec Prop (-120)
CMC rejuvinated his career with the midseason move to the Niners and has become the focal point of this run-first offense.
He has eclipsed 115 Rushing/Receving Yards in 6 of his 10 starts for the 49ers since the midseason move and racked up 138 against Seattle 3 weeks ago.
This is aslo about the Seahawks rushing defense, which is 30th in the NFL. They allowed the 3rd most rushing yards all season and 4.9 yards/carry.
I suspect the Niners will want to ride McCaffrey all game long, with carries and short passes/screens.
Run CMC, Run.
Keenan Allen o81.5 Receving Prop (-110)
Let's finish off this Wild Card Weekend Edition with Keenan.
Allen has been awesome since returning from injury in the middle of the season.
He has hit his receiving yards in 5 of his last 6 games and has 100+ in 2 of his last 3.
The Jags are bottom 5 in the NFL in pass yards allowed and I expect Herbert to slice and dice up this secondary all day long.
Add in the fact that Mike Williams is officially out for this one and Allen will have plenty of chances to dominate this matchup.
Ok that's it! Enjoy the last week of the regular season and I hope all of these props treat us well 🙂
