With player prop bets growing in popularity in the last few years, bettors continue to find creative ways to maintain an edge. Specifically, yardage totals, receptions, and even touchdowns can be predicted with some degree of certainty. We’re light on specific Week 15 props this week but have some good values to jump on.

Who Will Have More Rushing Yards in Week 15?

We start with a fun bet that looks at two athletic quarterbacks in Philadelphia and Arizona. The matchup of the Eagles and Cardinals includes young, dynamic athletes at the quarterback position. Both Oklahoma Sooners and now starting NFL quarterbacks, Jalen Hurts and Kyler Murray have extreme abilities to run the ball.

The 2017 NFL Season doesn’t start for 4 months, but oddsmakers around the market have posted plenty of prop bets already. Below shows a list of prop bets available at 5Dimes: Will any team go 16-0 in the regular season? Yes +1050, No -2150. Bookmaker.eu is offering proposition wagers on Rodgers’ production for the upcoming NFL season: Aaron Rodgers total passing touchdowns during 2017-18 NFL regular season. Over 34.5 (-130, risk $130 to win $100) Under 34.5 (+105, risk $100 to win $105) Aaron Rodgers total passing yards during 2017-18 NFL regular season.

The prop bet for rushing yards this week is fascinating and maybe an overreaction to how well Hurts ran against New Orleans in his first start. He ran 18 times for 106 yards against a great defense. Murray has only eclipsed 100 yards once this year, when he had 106 against Miami. He’s since not broken 61 yards in one game in any of the five weeks after.

While Murray is certainly capable of winning this and hitting value for us, the Cardinals want and need him to be a better passer than runner. I think the Eagles will have Hurts get more rushing chances and even encourage him to scramble when he’s not comfortable. It’s simply a matter of opportunity.

Will Dan Bailey Miss a FG and Extra Point?

For years I would draft Dan Bailey onto my fantasy team. He came cheap in the late rounds and was consistently a solid kicker until 2017 hit. Then he had two rough seasons with Dallas, a great bounceback year last season with Minnesota, and is now experiencing the worst year of his career. It’s possible the last few games this year will be his final full season in the NFL.

Bailey is hitting just 67 percent of his 18 field goals this year. A big legged kicker who is usually great from 20-39 and 50-plus but not 40-49, Bailey has missed three of 11 kicks beyond 40 yards. Maybe it’s age or mental, but it’s been a tough year after missing two total field goals in 2019.

That all being said, we have to play the NFL odds here. Bailey has missed four extra points this season as well, but we’re almost matching our bet with a parlay of not missing either attempt in Week 15. Chance are so low that he’d even have to attempt a long field goal, or miss an extra point, that we can reasonably expect to win this bet.

Chicago will force field goals this week because Kirk Cousins stinks against pressure and the Bears bring plenty of it. Their last matchup was a 19-13 win where Bailey had two field goals and an extra point made. Repeating that performance will get us a nice win.

Will Derrick Henry Reach 2,000 Yards?

One of the hottest producing men in the league since mid-October is Derrick Henry. The beastly tailback has just three games under 100 yards since then, but has eclipsed 175 yards three times in that same span. He’s coming off a monstrous 215 yards, 8.3-yard average and four total touchdowns against Jacksonville.

Henry needs about 470 yards to hit 2,000 on the year. With upcoming games against terrible run defenses in Detroit and Houston, then a tougher battle with Green Bay, it’s not terribly unlikely that the Titans star averages 157 yards per game. That’s all he needs. With eight more yards he passes his 2019 season total in one less game.

Sure, he’s averaging 118 yards per game right now and it’ll take a huge run to hit 2,000. But it’s fun to root for and the value would be a phenomenal return. On the betting sites, we’ll root for this one to hit so we can see history being made.

Paddy Power, the largest bookmaker in the United Kingdom, does this fun thing where you can cook-up an odd bet and use the hashtag “#WHATODDSPADDY” to check to see if you can actually bet on it.

Ahead of the 2017 NFL season, Paddy Power released some notable ones, and there really are some gems in there. Three that I like the look of:

Vegas Nfl Prop Bets

Cam Newton to have 4,000+ passing yards and 400+ rushing yards: 11/4

Cam routinely mustered over 400 rushing yards and boasted more than 4,000 yards his rookie season. The Panthers will be much-improved this year; the question is, will its offense explode along with it?

Texans and Vikings both make the playoffs: 5/1

The Vikings were never as bad as its season-ending form suggested, and I have faith in this Houston team with its young quarterback,

Christian McCaffrey to have 1,000+ rushing yards, 500+ receiving yards, 8+ touchdowns: 25/1

Nfl Prop Bets Odds

McCaffrey looks good early, and if we’re banking on this Panthers offense to explode anyway, then why not?
