We have three tasty NFL match-ups to sink our teeth into this Saturday, December 17th. The action gets underway at U.S. Bank Stadium, with the Minnesota Vikings hosting the Indianapolis Colts.
The second game sees the Baltimore Ravens visit FirstEnergy Stadium to face the Cleveland Browns. Last but not least, Saturday’s action concludes with the Buffalo Bills taking on the Miami Dolphins at Highmark Stadium.
If you’re looking for the best NFL player props picks for Saturday, you have come to the right place! Read on to discover my recommended wagers, featuring players from five different teams.
Nick Chubb – Over 74.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
Only two players have clocked up more rushing yards than Nick Chubb this season. The Cleveland running back has registered 1153 rushing yards in 13 games, meaning he averages just under 89 per game this year.
Granted, the Browns sit 12th in the AFC after losing eight of their 13 games this season, but Chubb has remained consistent throughout the campaign. That’s why I’m backing him to notch over 74.5 rushing yards on Saturday.
Roquan Smith – Over 7.5 Tackles + Assisted Tackles (-125)
Baltimore heads into Saturday’s clash against Cleveland on a two-game winning streak. When you look at the bigger picture, the Ravens have won six of their past seven games – highlighting their strength.
Roquan Smith has been pivotal to Baltimore’s recent success. The former Chicago Bears linebacker finds himself seventh on the total tackles leaderboard, so I expect him to enjoy plenty of success against the Browns.
Dalvin Cook – Over 68.5 Rushing Yards (-120)
On the rushing yards leaderboard, Dalvin Cook finds himself sixth after chalking up 950 yards in 13 games (73 yards per game). Thanks to Cook’s exploits, the Vikings sit third in the NFC with a record of 10-3.
As for the Colts, they are third from bottom in the AFC – having lost eight of their 13 games this season. Minnesota should dominate Indianapolis on Saturday, meaning Cook shouldn’t struggle to exceed 68.5 rushing yards.
Josh Allen – Over 237.5 Passing Yards (-155)
The Bills head into week 14 on a four-game winning streak. Better still, they have won eight of their previous ten encounters. Only the Philadelphia Eagles have picked up more wins than Buffalo this season.
Josh Allen has clocked up 3553 passing yards this year, averaging just over 273 yards per game. With the high-flying Bills facing off-form Miami on Saturday, Allen looks set to achieve over 237.5 passing yards.
Tyreek Hill – Over 6.5 Receptions (+115)
Dolphins vs. Bills Predictions
Tyreek Hill is the only player with 100 receptions to his name this season, reaching the milestone in 13 games (7.7 receptions per game). Meanwhile, the wide receiver has helped Miami to claim eight wins.
Although the Dolphins have lost each of their last two encounters, Hill is more than capable of racking up over 6.5 receptions against Buffalo. Given that he leads the league for receptions, odds of +115 are definitely worth taking advantage of.
