Key Player Props to Watch in NFL Week 8
With NFL Week 8 upon us, it’s time to dig into some exciting player props that can enhance your game day experience. Each week, I strive to refine my predictions, learning from past oversights and embracing a more instinctual approach to betting. Last week was illustrative of that journey – I learned the hard way not to underestimate a talent like Saquon Barkley, who completely dominated on the ground against his former squad. This week, however, it’s time to trust my gut and put forward a list of promising player props across the league.
Ravens at Browns: David Njoku Over 52.5 Receiving Yards
In the AFC North clash, I strongly believe David Njoku is primed for success. With the Ravens’ defense often vulnerable to tight ends, I foresee Njoku stretching the field and capitalizing on any mismatches that arise.
A pivotal showdown awaits in the heart of the AFC North!
Colts at Texans: Joe Mixon Over 75.5 Rushing Yards
Joe Mixon has been formidable in recent games, making the most of his touches. Against a Texans defense that struggles to contain the run, look for Mixon to grind out a solid yardage total by leveraging his speed and agility.
Packers at Jaguars: Romeo Doubs Over 45.5 Receiving Yards
With the chemistry between Jordan Love and Romeo Doubs growing week by week, this matchup against the Jaguars presents an opportunity for Doubs to shine. Expect targets to come his way as Green Bay looks to exploit any gaps in the Jacksonville secondary.
Titans at Lions: Jared Goff Over 239.5 Passing Yards
The Titans have been inconsistent in pressuring the quarterback, which should give Jared Goff ample time to execute his game plan. Given the explosive nature of the Lions’ offense, I’m banking on Goff to surpass this line comfortably.
Falcons at Buccaneers: Bijan Robinson Over 63.5 Rushing Yards
Bijan Robinson has rapidly become a focal point for the Falcons’ attack. The Buccaneers may present a strong front, but Robinson’s ability to break tackles makes me confident he can accumulate enough yards to meet this prop.
Jets at Patriots: Garrett Wilson Over 57.5 Receiving Yards
Garrett Wilson is quickly becoming a standout player for the Jets, and with the Patriots likely keying in on stopping the run, Wilson should see plenty of targets that could help him exceed this number.
Expect fireworks in New England!
Cardinals at Dolphins: Kyler Murray Over 33.5 Rushing Yards
Kyler’s natural ability to escape pressure and make plays with his legs could result in him surpassing his prop with ease against a Dolphins defense that can become overzealous in their pursuit.
Eagles at Bengals: Jalen Hurts Over 215.5 Passing Yards
As for Jalen Hurts, he’s been a renaissance man this season. I’m optimistic that he’ll exceed 215.5 passing yards as the Eagles face a Bengals secondary that’s still finding its footing. Expect Hurts to air it out against Cincinnati’s defense.
Saints at Chargers: J.K. Dobbins Over 15.5 Receiving Yards
With a growing reliance on Dobbins in the passing game, his receiving yards prop feels very approachable against a Chargers team that struggles to defend versatile backs.
Bills at Seahawks: Dalton Kincaid Over 40.5 Receiving Yards
With Josh Allen slinging the ball, Dalton Kincaid is quickly becoming a reliable target amidst the chaos, making this over seem viable.
Bears at Commanders: D’Andre Swift Over 57.5 Rushing Yards
D’Andre Swift should find running lanes against a Bears defense that’s struggled early in the season.
Chiefs at Raiders: Kareem Hunt Over 65.5 Rushing Yards
Hunt’s return to form has positioned him as a key player for the Chiefs, and against the Raiders, he should find plenty of room to run.
Panthers at Broncos: Bo Nix Over 26.5 Rushing Yards
Finally, I’m looking at Bo Nix, who has the capacity to move the chains with his legs. Going up against a solid Broncos defense, he’ll likely need to utilize his mobility to find success on the field.
Cowboys at 49ers: Rico Dowdle Over 12.5 Receiving Yards
Rico Dowdle has been establishing himself as more than just a backup, and it wouldn’t surprise me to see him hit this mark in a high-octane affair.
