When it comes to how to bet on NFL player props, there are endless options and you can bet on almost any position group of players. Read on for our top NFL player props for the NFL Playoffs here.

Wild Card Playoffs Passing Props – Matthew Stafford Passing Touchdowns

The Rams vs Lions game has the weekend’s highest total in the NFL betting odds at 51.5. Come anywhere close to that and surely one or both quarterbacks could throw for a couple of touchdown passes.

Let’s focus on Rams’ QB Matthew Stafford who comes in fresh after sitting out last week. Stafford runs the league’s tenth-best passing game and will be facing the league’s 27th-ranked passing defense.

Stafford threw for 317 yards in Week 17 against the Giants but had only one passing touchdown. Though he had multiple touchdown passes in each of his previous five games.

The Lions have given up multiple touchdown passes to opposing quarterbacks in each of their past three games, giving up two each to Nick Mullens (twice) as well as Dak Prescott.

Wild Card Playoffs Passing / Rushing Props – Josh Allen Interceptions / Rushing Attempts

Josh Allen threw two picks last week, giving him 18 on the year, only better than Sam Howell’s 21.

Bad as that is, it’s even worse when you consider Allen has thrown an interception in 14/17 games overall and also in 12 of his past 13 games.

Any time a prop has hit at that sort of rate and can still be had for near even-money odds, it just has to be included. The Steelers vs Bills game is expected to have bad weather which could cause trouble for both passing games and aid in potential turnovers. Plus, the Steelers have made at least one interception in 11 games this season.

Let’s double-dip on the Allen props and target his rush attempts as well.

In Allen’s last six games he’s rushed for 67, 44, 15, 24, 32 and 81 yards. He’s rushed for a touchdown in five of those six games for a combined eight rushing scores. His rushing attempts in those games have been 15, 11, 5, 8, 10 and 9. This game promises to see plenty of run attempts by both teams and Allen is often used in short-yardage situations and QB sneaks and should pile up some rushing attempts in this game.

NFL Player Prop Picks: Josh Allen over 0.5 interceptions (-110); risk 1 unit at ESPN BETNFL Player Prop Picks: Josh Allen over 7.5 rush attempts (-165); risk 1 unit at ESPN BET

Wild Card Playoffs Rushing Props – Najee Harris Rushing Attempts

Pittsburgh has been leaning on Najee Harris in recent games. In fact, he’s had his first, second and fifth-best games from a rushing yards standpoint in his last three games.

He carried the ball 26 times for 112 yards versus the Ravens, rushed 27 times for 122 yards versus the Seahawks and had 78 yards on 19 carries versus the Bengals.

Any sort of similar output on Sunday and that will blow over his rushing attempts prop of 15.5.

NFL Player Prop Picks: Najee Harris over 15.5 rushing attempts (-115); risk 1 unit at ESPN BET

The Houston Texans % of YAC given up compared to total receiving yards is 45.4% (46% vs Colts last weekend)

69% of David Njoku’s receiving yards this season have come after the catch

Wild Card Playoffs Receiving Props – David Njoku Receptions

Last week David Njoku had six catches for 134 yards. He also had catch totals of 6, 10 and 6 with receiving totals of 44, 104 and 91 yards in his games prior.

The Texans have given up 100 catches to opposing tight ends this season. Only the Bengals with 107 have given up more. The 975 yards they’ve given up to the position is also the fourth-most. A receptions total prop of 5.5 is a number Njoku has gone over in eight games this season and in seven of his last eight games.

NFL Player Prop Picks: David Njoku over 5.5 receptions (+100); risk 1 unit at ESPN BET

Wild Card Playoffs Receiving Props – Rashee Rice Receptions

As one of the few, (only?), reliable pass-catching threats the Chiefs have had in recent games, Rashee Rice got some time off last week, rested in a meaningless Week 18 game. In his previous six games, he had catch totals of 5, 6, 9, 7, 8 and 8, with yardage totals of 127, 57, 91, 72, 64 and 107 yards.

The Dolphins’ have about a league-average pass defense ranking 15th. But they’re hurting bad coming into Wild Card Weekend with cluster injuries in the secondary. CB Xavien Howard has already been ruled and SS DeShon Elliott and FS Jevon Holland are both questionable on the Dolphins vs Chiefs injury report.

NFL Player Prop Picks: Rashee Rice over 5.5 receptions (-165); risk 1 unit at ESPN BET

Wild Card Playoffs Receiving Props – Jake Ferguson Receiving Yards

The Packers have given up 859 yards to opposing tight ends this season which averages out to 50.53 YPG. But they have given up fewer than 50 yards to tight ends in three of their past five.

Drop that number down to 40 yards though, and they’ve given up combined TE yardage of 40+ in seven of their past eight games.

Dallas TE Jake Ferguson is second on the team behind CeeDee Lamb in targets, receptions and receiving yards. He’s made four, five or six catches in each of his past six games and has gone over 40 yards receiving in five of those six. His average yardage over that time is 56.66 yards.

NFL Player Prop Picks: Jake Ferguson over 39.5 receiving yards (-140); risk 1 unit at ESPN BET

CeeDee Lamb has scored a TD in 9 consecutive games.

That’s the longest streak by a WR since 2012 😳

Wild Card Playoffs Touchdown Props – CeeDee Lamb Anytime Touchdown

Speaking of Lamb, he’s coming off back-to-back 13-catch games where he’s finished with 98 and 227 yards receiving to go with a combined three touchdowns in those three games. Go back to Week 16 and he finished with six catches, 118 yards and another touchdown there too.

His 135 catches ranks number overall and he’s averaged 7.94 catches per game over the season and 9.5 catches per game in his last six games.

His receptions prop is set right around that mark with Over 7.5 juiced to -135 and Over 8.5 in plus-money at +125. His yardage prop is set at 98.5. As good as he’s been, he’s still only gone over 98.5 yards in three of his past eight games.

He has though, found the endzone 14 times this season, in 11 different games and in eight of his past nine ganes from a receiving standpoint. But add in a rushing score versus the Bills and he’s now cashed anytime TD props in nine-straight games.

NFL Player Prop Picks: CeeDee Lamb anytime touchdown (-160); risk 1 unit at ESPN BET

Wild Card Playoffs Touchdown Props – Cooper Kupp Anytime Touchdown

If we’re backing Stafford in the passing props, it stands to reason we have to pair him up with one of his skill position players. The Lions are second versus the run, so despite Rams’ RB Kyren Williams coming off of a three-touchdown game, let’s look at the receiving position.

Detroit has given up nearly 300 yards of offense to opposing wide receivers alone in the past three weeks. The leading receivers from the opposition in those games have finished with 192 yards (Justin Jefferson), 227 yards (CeeDee Lamb) and 141 yards (Jefferson again).

Go back further and they’ve seen single receiver highs of 74 yards, 68, 119, 94, 96 and 175 going back to Week 10.

Whether you look the way of Puka Nacua or Cooper Kupp, it’s hard to go wrong. Nacua has touchdowns in two of his last three games and has gone over 100 yards in two of three games as well.

Kupp has gone over 100 yards in two of four gams himself but is even hotter when it comes to touchdown scoring having found the endzone in four of his past five games.

NFL Player Prop Picks: Cooper Kupp anytime touchdown (+140); risk 1 unit at ESPN BET

Wild Card Playoffs Touchdown Props – Amon-Ra St Brown Anytime Touchdown

Fresh off 144 yards receiving and a TD versus the Vikings in Week 18, Amon-Ra St Brown now has touchdowns in each of his past four games as well as in seven of nine.

St Brown finished the regular season fifth in targets, third in receptions, third in yards and fourth in touchdowns. With TE Sam LaPorta likely missing out on the Rams vs Lions injury report, Jared Goff will likely be looking the way of St Brown even more often.

NFL Player Prop Picks: Amon-Ra St Brown anytime touchdown (+125); risk 1 unit at ESPN BET
