Sportsbook Prop Bets
Many view the divisional round of the NFL playoffs as the best weekend of the football season. Those teams that made the playoffs with clear weaknesses have been bounced and now eight teams are just two games away from making it to Super Bowl LV. With the big boys banging heads, here are five player prop bet predictions for the NFL Divisional Round.

The Adams Family
Green Bay Packers WR Davante Adams is an elite receiver and clearly the favorite option of QB Aaron Rodgers. When the Los Angeles Rams traded for CB Jalen Ramsey, they knew they were getting a player who can take an elite receiver one-on-one the entire game to take him away from the offense.

Adams has an Over/Under for receiving yards of 76.5 (Over: -110, Under: -110). The key to this number is Rodgers won’t take chances. If Ramsey has Adams tightly covered off the snap, Rodgers will look elsewhere – reducing the opportunities to hit the point.
TAKE THE UNDER 76.5 (-110).

Dez Dispenser
It’s rare when you see an Over/Under of a of 0.5 yards; however, that’s the line for Baltimore Ravens WR Dez Bryant (O: +125, U: -155). Basically, the oddsmakers are saying Bryant won’t catch a pass.
He hasn’t caught a pass in two of the five games he has played, but he has been targeted in all five. It could happen at any time – whether the Ravens are ahead or behind. I like those odds when you only need one catch for positive yardage to hit the Over.
TAKE THE OVER 0.5 (+125).

Standing Pat
Fanduel Sportsbook Prop Bets
When you are as prolific as Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, your Over/Under number for passing yards gets up into the stratosphere. Against the Cleveland Browns Sunday, Mahomes has a line of 321.5 yards (O: -115, U: -105). The projections for the combined yards for TE Travis Kelce and WR Tyreek Hill is 170, which means Mahomes would still have to find 152 passing yards from other receivers to hit this lofty number.
Is he capable of topping that number? Obviously, but there are a lot of scenarios that could happen before Mahomes would get to the gaudy number. The Browns defense could hold up. The Chiefs could run the ball more than usual. Cleveland could play ground control to eat up clock time.
While he’s more than capable of surpassing that number, TAKE THE UNDER 321.5 (-105).
Nick at Night
Browns RB Nick Chubb has an Over/Under for rushing attempts of just 15.5 (O: -110, U: -110). The clear implication of the number is the Browns will be behind early and forced to abandon the run.
Since returning from injury in November, Chubb had had 17 or more carries in six of nine games. The Browns offense is predicated on balance and that includes giving the ball to Chubb a lot.
TAKE THE OVER 15.5 (-110).
Too Many Cooks
In the third game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints, big things are expected from the quarterbacks. One sneaky play is Saints TE Jared Cook. He has an Over/Under of 33.5 receiving yards (-110 for both).
In the two games against the Bucs this season, Cook caught seven passes for 110 yards. He’s not being showed the respect he has earned and deserves.
TAKE THE OVER 33.5 (-110).
