Wild Card Weekend Player Props

Dolphins vs. Bills Odds

Josh Allen -64.5 Over Skylar Thompson total passing yards (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Buffalo has the seventh best passing yards per game average (258.1). Bills quarterback Josh Allen averaged 267.7 air yards in 16 games this season. He's eclipsed 250 yards nine times this year with six games over the 300-yard mark. Two of those went over 400 yards.

Miami QB Skylar Thompson achieved limited success in his relief role. He's combined for just 256 passing yards in his last two matchups. His highest total in that was an 152 yard output last week against the N.Y. Jets. He faces a Bills defense that allowed an average of 193.3 passing yards over their past three games.

What makes this a four-star instead of a slam dunk, five-star prop is the possibility of an early Bills' lead. Should Buffalo take control early, the need for Allen to throw the ball diminishes. However, it’s a strong possibility his arm gets them that lead and he'll build a big enough cushion to cash this prop.

Giants vs. Vikings Odds

Justin Jefferson anytime TD + Saquon Barkley anytime TD + total Over 48.5 (+425) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Jefferson caught eight touchdown passes during the regular season. Six of those came over his last 10 games. He's currently on a two-game stretch without a six-point reception, the longest drought in that span. The Vikings star wide receiver found the end zone in his previous meeting against the New York Giants.

Giants running back Saquon Barkley accumulated 10 rushing TDs this season. Last week, he failed to cross the goal line after back-to-back weeks with scoring plays. New York’s lead back hasn't gone two games without a TD this year. An opposing RB scored against the Vikings in four of their last five matchups including Barkley.

Minnesota had 11 games this season where they combined with opponents for at least 49 points. This includes their last meeting with the Giants. The Vikings average 24.9 points overall this year. New York hit this Over only three times in 2022. However, they enter this game averaging 26 points over their last three contests.

Ravens vs. Bengals Odds

Trey Hendrickson to record a sack & Cincinnati Bengals to win (+220) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson recorded eight sacks this year. He registered two of those last week against the Baltimore Ravens, accounting for half of the four Bengals' sacks in the game. He'll chase after Ravens QB Tyler Huntley, who's been sacked seven times in five games this year.

Cincinnati battled their way to a 12-4 overall record in 2022. They've won three of their last four meetings against Baltimore including last week’s 27-16 victory. The Bengals won their last eight games heading into Sunday’s contest.
