NFL Player Props Picks for Wild Card Round

There are six games on the schedule for Super Wild Card Weekend and that means there are hundreds of NFL player props to analyze. There’s lots of value to be had for the wild card round.

NFL Sportsbooks

Here are the top five NFL player props predictions for the wild card round:

Christian McCaffrey to Score a Touchdown (-150)

Seahawks vs. 49ers Predictions

The 49ers will be able to put up some points against the Seahawks and McCaffrey will be involved. He has scored a touchdown in the 49ers last six games and in eight of 11 games since joining SF.

Seattle are allowing 150.2 RYPG (30th) and 1.2 rushing touchdowns per game (25th). McCaffrey should score a TD on the ground in this match-up, but he’s also a threat through the air (five receiving TDs).

NFL Betting Lines

Keenan Allen Over 76.5 Receiving Yards (-115)

Chargers vs. Jaguars Predictions

Allen is going to be required to have a big game on Saturday. Mike Williams may not play, which would mean Allen will easily see 10+ targets against a Jaguars defense allowing 238.5 PYPG (28th).

Allen has been banged up this season, but he has been playing great as of late. Allen has had 77+ yards through the air in five of the Chargers last six games. He just posted a line of 8/102/2 in week 18.

Dawson Knox to Score a Touchdown (+195)

Dolphins vs. Bills Predictions

We’re getting a great line on Knox to score a touchdown against the Dolphins. Knox only has 6 TDs this season, but he has had a touchdown in the Bills last four games, including in week 16 against Miami.

Knox is a big red zone target that Josh Allen trusts. Miami are allowing teams to score a TD 59.32% (23rd) of the time when the opposing team gets into the red zone.

NFL Predictions

Richie James Jr. Over 47.5 Receiving Yards (-115)

Giants vs. Vikings Predictions

James has been producing as the Giants #1 WR as of late. Daniel Jones has targeted James 7+ times in three of the last four games. He had 61+ receiving yards in each game where he had 7+ targets.

The Vikings are allowing 265.5 PYPG (31st). I expect Minny to win this game and with the Giants playing from behind, they’ll need to air it out. James could cash this player prop by halftime.

Ja’Marr Chase Over 76.5 Receiving Yards (-110)

Ravens vs. Bengals Predictions

The Ravens held Chase to 50 yards (7 receptions) in week 5 in Baltimore. Last week in Cincy, Chase had 8 receptions for 86 yards and 1 TD. He has had 77+ receiving yards in six of his last seven games.

Baltimore are allowing 232.2 PYPG (26th). Chase has had 10+ targets in seven of his last eight games and that won’t change in the playoffs. He gets volume and he’s also a big play threat.
