π° NFL Week 18 player prop bets: My best bets

Puka Nacua Under 103.5 receiving yards (-145) ββββ
We cashed a sweat-free wager on Nacua's Under last week in prime time, and we're set to do so again in a game where the Rams will likely have complete control by halftime. Nacua's numbers are inflated after he went berserk for three straight weeks prior to the Rams' loss to the Falcons in Week 17. Let's take advantage, and watch him sit the fourth quarter with Los Angeles leading by 20.
⬇️ How to bet NFL Week 18
Caleb Williams Over 227.5 passing yards (-145) ββββ
Caleb Williams needs 270 passing yards today vs. the Lions to become the first Bears QB ever to throw for 4000 yards in a season. An opportunity like that doesn't come around too often, and there are still seeding implications here. If the Bears beat the Lions or the Eagles lose their final against the Commanders, Chicago will clinch the No. 2 seed and Philly will secure the No. 3 seed.
Tyler Shough Over 230.5 passing yards (-113) ββββ
Don't look now, but the Saints may have just found their guy. Shough has back-to-back 300-yard games and has gone over this number in three straight weeks. Even with a handful of backups coming in as his pass-catchers for Week 18, I don't see any reason why he can't soar past this number against the Atlanta Falcons.
