NFL Props Explained

NFL props have become increasingly popular among football bettors. "Prop" is short for "proposition," and these bets ask you to wager on specific occurrences or non-occurrences within a game, rather than the final outcome or score.

Unlike traditional bets where you're picking a winner, betting against the spread or on the point total, prop bets focus on a specific game statistic or particular player performance metric.

For our purposes, this is a player prop page so we're focused on a player's performance relative to his personal player props for his next game.

Why Bet on NFL Player Props?

The allure of prop bets is that they often bring an additional layer of engagement to the game-watching experience, but even better, they also present some of the biggest edges. In other words, NFL player props are often the most beatable lines you can find on sports betting apps.

NFL player props can range from something as straightforward as "Will Player X score a touchdown?" to more intricate scenarios like "How many yards will Quarterback Y throw for in the first quarter?"

There are hundreds if not thousands of player props available every week during this NFL season. These detailed propositions allow bettors to utilize their insights about teams, strategies, and individual player capabilities in a nuanced manner to make profitable wagers.

There's also breaking news, including impactful injury reports and weather forecasts, that can impact player usage and opportunity.
