It’s time for the NFL playoffs. It does not get any better than playoff football because everything becomes more intense. Football is already fierce, but the playoffs take it to another level. Player props are great in the playoffs, but game props are actually better to wager.
I would rather bet on a full team in the playoffs because it takes everyone to win. Here are my best NFL game props for Super Wild Card Weekend.
Raiders vs. Bengals Game Props
Raiders vs. Bengals Predictions
Best Bet: Bengals First to Score vs. Raiders (-145)
The Las Vegas Raiders have a chance to pull the upset. However, they will have a tough time matching production with the Bengals. Cincinnati is one of the most explosive teams in the NFL.
I believe Joe Mixon is going to be the X-Factor in this contest. Yet, the first drive should be all about Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase. Chase is the most explosive receiver in the NFL, and he is known for long scores.
The first drive will be all about Chase, and it will take Las Vegas time to make adjustments.
Patriots vs. Bills Game Props
Patriots vs. Bills Predictions
Best Bet: Race to 25 Points Buffalo Bills (+130)
The Buffalo Bills are very potent on offense. Yet, they will have a tough time scoring against the Patriots’ defense. Despite this, if a team in this game is most likely to score 25, it’s the Bills.
If New England gives up 25 points, they will likely lose the game. I do not see the Patriots having an easy time reaching this total. This gives me no option but to take the Bills on Saturday night.
Eagles vs. Buccaneers Game Props
Eagles vs. Buccaneers Predictions
Best Bet: Race to 25 Points Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-135)
The Philadelphia Eagles are going to have a tough time competing with the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay is better in every aspect of the game. The race to 25 is an excellent bet for Tampa Bay. The team has a strong defense that should shut down Jalen Hurts and company.
Additionally, Tom Brady is going to score points throughout the game. Brady and the Buccaneers get stronger in the playoffs. They have beaten the Eagles once this season, which will occur again on Sunday.
49ers vs. Cowboys Game Props
Best Bet: 49ers vs. Cowboys Under 10.5 First TD Yards (-120)
This game prop plays to the strength of both teams in the Niners vs. Cowboys game. Both teams can score long touchdowns, but they love hammering the rock. Also, play-action is a huge part of each offense.
Both teams play conservatively, especially on the first drive. They want to march the ball down the field. This equates to short touchdowns, so under is the best bet for the first TD.
Steelers vs. Chiefs Game Props
Steelers vs. Chiefs Predictions
Best Bet: Steelers vs. Chiefs Largest Lead Over 17.5 (-110)
This may be one of the craziest but safest bets on the list. The Chiefs are the heavy favorite to come out of the AFC. They are playing a team that barely made the playoffs. Kansas City is known for getting up big and pouring on points.
This game presents a lot of opportunities for Kansas City to make it happen. If Patrick Mahomes gets going, Ben Roethlisberger will not keep up with the pace.
