You have your picks for the four NFL Playoff Divisional games this weekend. Now it’s time to look at some prop bets to make.
The staff at BetQL.com has some recommendations for player prop picks. Passing yards, touchdown pass totals, rushing picks, and anytime touchdowns are included below.
Stroud Continues Strong Playoff Performance
When he faced the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1, C.J. Stroud threw for 242 yards in a game that the Houston Texans lost while scoring just three field goals. Surely, Stroud is more comfortable now than he was back in Week 1. He certainly showed plenty of poise and confidence in his playoff debut last week. Even though he’ll have to go on the road this week, there is no reason to think that Stroud won’t have another good game. Plus, with the Texans listed as 9.5-point underdogs, there’s a good chance Stroud will have to throw the ball a lot in the second half, allowing him to rack up a ton of passing yards – Bryan Zarpentine.
Best Bet: C.J. Stroud Over 243.5 pass yards (-115 at BetMGM)
Watch: Saturday, 4:30 p.m. ET, ESPN, ABC or fuboTV
Love Finds the End Zone
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has hit this over in his last five games and in 12 games this season. And he just threw three against the Dallas Cowboys in his playoff debut. So, I think Love will continue his multi-touchdown streak against the San Francisco 49ers and go over this total with at least two passing touchdowns – Lucy Burdge.
Best Bet: Jordan Love Over 1.5 TD passes (-145 at BetMGM)
Watch: Saturday, 8:15 p.m. ET, FOX or fuboTV
Kittle Racks up Receiving Yards
The Packers have been awful at containing tight ends this year, ranking in the bottom five in receiving yards (62), yards per reception (12.2) and receiving TDs (0.8) allowed to opposing TEs.
Last weekend alone, Green Bay allowed 93 yards on 10 receptions and 12 targets to Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson. George Kittle has gone over this mark in four of his last five games and, when surpassing this number, he does so with ease. He’s finished with at least 50 receiving yards in 10 of his 16 games this year and I like him to go over it again on Saturday. If you want a bigger payout, consider parlaying this with Kittle to have a TD – Kate Constable.
Best Bet: George Kittle Over 48.5 rec yds (-113 at BetRivers)
Watch: Saturday, 8:15 p.m. ET, FOX or fuboTV

Amon-Ra St. Brown Exposes Bucs Defense
This number appears to be moving up, so try to grab it before it gets much higher. Detroit Lions wider receiver Amar St. Brown racked up 110 yards in last week’s win over the Rams. He has hit at least 90 receiving yards in five straight games. That includes four games in which he’s topped 100 yards.
It’s no secret that Jared Goff is looking in St. Brown’s direction, and opposing teams still aren’t able to contain him. Last week, the Eagles didn’t have much help at wide receiver beyond DeVonta Smith with A.J. Brown out and Smith still ended up with 148 receiving yards. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ defense could have similar problems with St. Brown, who is poised for another big game – Bryan Zarpentine.
Best Bet: Amon-Ra St. Brown Over 89.5 rec yds (-121 at BetRivers)
Watch: Sunday, 3 p.m. ET, NBC or fuboTV
Well-Rested McCaffrey Should Go Big
A rested Christian McCaffrey as a huge home favorite in the playoffs? Sign me up. The San Francisco 49ers managed his touches and workload down the stretch of the regular season and now they’re going to unleash him for their playoff run. Averaging 5.4 yards per carry in the regular season, he’d need 18 carries to get to 92, but given the extra rest and the playoff situation, I expect him to deliver with a huge performance on the ground. Keep in mind that many of McCaffrey’s outputs in the regular season were capped due to the scoreboard. The Niners won 11 games by double digits and he was able to rest in the fourth quarter. I don’t anticipate this being a blowout and I also don’t see him coming off the field unless his team is up by four possessions. Give me the Over and I also will grab some of his alternate lines – Dan Karpuc.
Best Bet: Christian McCaffrey Over 92.5 rushing yds (-123 at Caesars)
Watch: Saturday, 8:15 p.m. ET, FOX or fuboTV
