Week 1 of the NFL season is going to wrap up with a pretty exciting matchup between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks. Russell Wilson is now the quarterback in Denver, and he returns to Seattle to face a number of his former teammates.
The Broncos are a slight betting favorite on the road, but some of the best betting options in this game come when looking at player props.
Read our Broncos vs. Seahawks betting preview.
Here are five player prop picks for this MNF showdown.
Jerry Jeudy Over 58.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
The Denver Broncos have not been a great passing team in recent years, but that should all change in 2022. Denver does have a ton of talent at the wide receiver position, and Jerry Jeudy is a part of that group.
Jeudy is going to be the top target in this matchup, and he should find some holes in the Seahawks secondary. Bet on the over 58.5 receiving yards for Jeudy, as he could get close to 100 in this matchup.
D.K. Metcalf Over 55.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
D.K. Metcalf decided to stay with the Seahawks in 2022 after signing an extension. Metcalf should continue to be one of the best receivers in the NFL, even though he won’t have Russell Wilson to throw him the ball.
Metcalf always seems to come up with a big play, and he could go over this receiving yard total with just one catch. The best bet is to take the over 55.5 receiving yards for the star wide receiver.
Russell Wilson Over 12.5 Rushing Yards (-110)
Russell Wilson will be looking to put on a show against his former team, and there are a number of great ways to bet on the QB. Obviously, he is going to do most of his damage through the air, but he is also known for running the football.
Wilson will take off and run when he doesn’t like his options, and he can break off some big runs. Getting to at least 13 yards shouldn’t be much of a challenge, and taking the over is the best option in this game.
Geno Smith Over 0.5 Interceptions (-150)
Geno Smith is set to take over at quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks, and he has been around the NFL for a very long time. Smith is known for making good decisions, but he won’t have a ton of time to think in this one.
Even if Smith is able to play well in this game, he is also going to make some mistakes. Take the over 0.5 interceptions for Smith as he turns the ball over at least once.
Javonte Williams: Anytime TD Scorer (+115)
Javonte Williams could become the breakout star of the NFL this season as he should have a big year running the football for the Broncos. A lot of the focus will be on the Broncos’ passing attack this season, but they also want to run the football.
Making an anytime TD scorer bet is always a good option, and there are some good choices in this game. Taking Williams to find the end zone at +115 is a great option for this MNF matchup.
