NFL Wild Card Prop bets: One prop from each matchup to keep an eye on

The NFL playoffs are just around the corner. A thrilling week 18 saw some chaotic results across the board and has set us up for an incredible postseason of football. If you’re looking to bet on some NFL Wild Card Prop Bets, the good news is that the lines have already been set for this weekend’s games and there is already some value to be found on props.

NFL Wild Card prop bets

Seahawks vs 49ers

Spread: Seahawks +10 | 49ers -10
Moneyline: Seahawks +390 | 49ers -490
Total: O/U 43

Prop bet selection: Brandon Aiyuk to score anytime TD +180

Rookie quarterbacks are 9-18 in the playoffs. That’s not great. It would be understandable then for Brock Purdy to target the wideouts he’s most comfortable with.

Brandon Aiyuk has dominated targets this season and over the last 3 weeks has caught 18 of 24 passes for 241 yards and a touchdown. He’s +180 to score a touchdown against the Seahawks, a feat he’s yet to accomplish this season. Aiyuk is not known for scoring touchdowns as much has he is making big-time plays, but if Purdy forces him the ball more than normal, there’s no reason he won’t score against Seattle.

Chargers vs Jaguars

Spread: Chargers -1 | Jaguars +1
Moneyline: Chargers -120 | Jaguars +100
Total: O/U 47

Prop bet selection: Keenan Allen to score anytime TD +150

The Chargers weirdly played all of their starters deep into the fourth quarter in a week 18 loss to the Broncos and, in doing so, potentially lost Mike Williams to an injury. If that’s the case, it will of course provide upside for name like DeAndre Carter, but those more in-depth props aren’t up yet.

Instead, we assume that Keenan Allen is going to see more of the ball and as a result, his likelihood of scoring against a porous Jags secondary increases. As far as NFL Wild Card Prop bets go, this looks good early on.

Dolphins vs Bills

Spread: Dolphins +10.5 | Bills -10.5
Moneyline: Dolphins +420 | Bills -540
Total: O/U 44

Prop bet selection: Dolphins to score 0.5+ 1st quarter touchdowns +130

Player props haven’t been made available here yet, but I love Miami to score a touchdown in the first quarter against the Bills. Sure, there are concerns over the QB picture and the Bills offense is stacked, but Miami will want to set a tone to ensure they’re not chasing the game. Expect aggression early on which could result in a valuable prop.

Giants vs Vikings

Spread: Giants +3 | Vikings -3
Moneyline: Giants +135 | Vikings -155
Total: O/U 47.5

Prop bet selection: Minnesota Vikings to score over 25 points

The Minnesota Vikings have a habit of fumbling the bag in primetime, so I will be taking a Kirk Cousins Interceptions prop here. Until they open up, I’ll happily back the Vikings to put up 25 on a Giants team that’s giving up a dismal 358 yards per game.

Ravens vs Bengals

Spread: Ravens +6.5 | Bengals -6.5
Moneyline: Ravens +230 | Bengals -275
Total: O/U 43.5

Prop bet selection: Cincinnati Bengals over 2.5 touchdowns -145

The Bengals decimated the Ravens this past weekend and as far as confidence goes, that might just be enough to shatter a Baltimore outfit without Lamar Jackson. Cincy will be on the gas pedal early and 3 touchdowns shouldn’t be much of a proble,.

Cowboys vs Buccaneers

Spread: Cowboys -3 | Buccaneers +3
Moneyline: Cowboys -140 | Buccaneers +120
Total: O/U 45

Prop bet selection: Leonard Fournette 1 rushing TD +140

The Cowboys were just decimated by a rookie quarterback. The Bucs will want to control the tempo and keep Dak off the field and while this Cowboys defense is good, it was manhandled by Washington. Forunette should be in a solid spot to score a touchdown this weekend.
