Thursday Night Football kicks off the NFL slate every week. This is a great opportunity to start building our bankroll before the beginning of the Sunday action. The Ravens will travel to Miami to play the Dolphins on Thursday night.
There is a lot of value with the traditional markets in this game. However, I would take a look at the player prop markets. This is the area of the sportsbook that you can handicap and win big. Here are my top five player props for Thursday Night Football.
Read our in-depth Ravens vs. Dolphins preview for week 10.
Lamar Jackson Props Picks: Anytime TD Scorer (+110)
Lamar Jackson is so good because of his ability to run the football. The Ravens have designed runs for Jackson, and the quarterback frequently scrambles. Jackson’s arm has also improved, which makes him very dynamic in the pocket.
Jackson only has two touchdowns this season running the ball. However, he is averaging 6.2 yards per carry. Additionally, he is coming off a game where he rushed for 120 yards. Jackson typically rushes for 50+ yards. This gives him a chance to score, making the value of this prop too good to resist.
Lamar Jackson Props Picks: Over 63.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
Lamar Jackson is one of the best running quarterbacks the league has ever seen. His arm is strong, but Jackson still is a frequent runner. This bet is more of a lock than his touchdown run prop.
Jackson has scrambled for a lot of yards as of late. He has gone over this total in four games this season. Additionally, he has exceeded the total in his past two games.
Jackson is starting to rely more on his legs. When he can frequently rip off explosive plays, it’s an easy decision to place this bet.
Jaylen Waddle Props Picks: Over 5.5 Receptions (+100)
Jaylen Waddle could be the Dolphins’ only hope to stay alive in this game. The Ravens have a very explosive offense. When he is catching passes, he is one of the best young receivers in the game. He is also the most explosive target for Miami.
He has exceeded 5.5 receptions in three of his past five games. He is coming off an eight-catch game where he received ten targets. The Dolphins need to get him the ball to win on Thursday.
Myles Gaskin Props Picks: Under 12.5 Yards Longest Rush (+100)
Myles Gaskin is running the ball efficiently in 2021. However, the Ravens have one of the best rushing defenses in the NFL. He has not exceeded this rushing total in his past two games. His long against two bad defenses was six and seven yards.
He has hit the over on his longest rush twice in his past five. However, this will be hard against the Ravens, who do not give up explosive plays.
Anthony Averett Props Picks: Over 3.5 Solo Tackles (+110)
Anthony Averett is one of the best-tackling corners in the game. The Dolphins are going to run off tackle and try to force the ball down the field. This will put Averett in a position to make a lot of tackles.
He has exceeded this total in three of his past five games.
