Halloween came and went, and our Week 8 expert NFL prop picks offered some tricks and some treats. Between injuries and inconsistencies, our SN Bets panel has had a tough time maintaining weekly succe s. However, we have 12 new over/under props for Week 9 that we feel confident will turn things around for us as a team.The name of the game with prop betting just like traditional betting, fantasy, and DFS is value. Every Friday, my colleagues Vinnie Iyer, Nick Musial, Nick Brinkerhoff, and I scour SuperDraft to find you the over/under props that yield the most value and give you the greatest chance of winning.My colleagues and I then unveil a dozen or so of our favorite player props from the NFL's Sunday slate. The concept for this column is simple: all four of us pick our three favorite over/under bets. We research the matchups, dive into the betting trends, and handpick the props that we deem to be solid value bets. Then we write out our reasoning behind picking each prop.Along the way, we keep a weekly record Cedric Ogbuehi Jersey of each of our succe ses and failures, and of course, reveal our updated season standings. Our motivations are two-fold: (1) beat our colleagues, and (2) help you beat the book. The more we win, the more money our readers make!MORE SUPERDRAFT DFS & FANTASY PROPS:Our betting team went an awesome 7-3 two weeks ago but fell back to 6-6 last week. Take a look at the updated standings after Week 7 of our SN Bets SuperDraft Prop Contest:ExpertWeek 8OverallSloan Piva0-315-10Vinnie Iyer3-013-11Nick Musial2-111-11Nick Brinkerhoff1-28-16Vinnie has now gone 5-1 over the past two weeks, and Muse has also been on fire. Yours truly suffered my first winle s week, and I'm starting to feel like the 49ers in a midseason funk. I can't complain too much, though at least I'm still in the No. 1 spot, far from poor Brinks in the basement.One thing's for certain: our panel of experts isbetter than our overall record suggests. So, let's lock in some winners and move back in the right direction. If you're not familiar with, check it out! SD'sFantasy Props feature allows users towin 3X the amount wagered if their two-legged player prop parlay hits. The more legs added to the player prop parlay, the larger the potential payout becomes. But as you could probably gue s, the longer the odds, the more difficult it gets to nail down a clean sweep. Research is imperative.That's where we come in. Our panel of experts does the leg work, pitches our favorite props, and lets you do the rest. You can window-shop our recommendations as you please and bet as few or as many of our prop picks as you see fit. Our lucky number with player prop parlays seems to be two (3X payout), but sometimes we'll put a lower stake on a three-prop parlay (6X) or a lotto-ticket wager on an eight-legger (100X).Let's get to it. Below we will detail our 12 favorite SuperDraft player props for this weekend's NFL games, with our highest-confidence picks listed first. Good Pat Sims Jersey luck, enjoy Week 9, and have a safe and happy first weekend of November!MORE:Rashee Rice, Chiefs vs. Dolphins in Germany OVER 45.5 receiving yards ()As soon as I opened up my SuperDraft app, Rashee Rice popped out as the first prop of the first game on Sunday morning (9:30 a.m. in Frankfurt). Wethis rookie receiver and the big play ability he has consistently flashed over the past month. During that span, he has averaged over 55 receiving yards per game despite the Chiefs' games being decided by an average of 11.8 points per game.This one should be a tightly-contested, high-scoring game with heavy playoff implications, because we all know this could Renell Wren Jersey be an AFC Championship preview so expect Rice to be very busy through all four frames in Frankfurt. The Dolphins have allowed the fifth-most receptions and the 12th-most yards to wideouts this season. If a bounce-back week is meant to be, Sir Rashee is our destiny.MORE WEEK 9 BETTING: | CeeDee Lamb WR, Cowboys @ Eagles OVER 6 receptions ()Lamb is leaping into November like a lion. He ripped the Rams for 12 catches, 158 yards and two TDs on 14 targets in Week 8. The Eagles have been giving ma sive production to wideouts, far more than any other defense. Lamb has also dominated the target share from Dak Prescott, and Dallas will need to throw a ton to win this key NFC East showdown. Lamb has a terrific matchup inside-out versus the Eagles and he's my lock of the week.Rachaad White, RB, Buccaneers @ Texans OVER 80.5 rushing and receiving yards ()White is suddenly white hot. The dual-threat running back has crushed this line in two straight games and something has apparently clicked in Tampa. The Bucs have suddenly discovered Whites ability to make an impact in the pa sing game, with 13 receptions and 135 receiving yards over the last two weeks. His involvement as a receiver gives us confidence heading into Week 9 against a Texans defense that is allowing the seventh-most receiving yards to running backs per game (42.3).Its no secret that the Buccaneers have had trouble running the ball this season. Theyve instead decided to utilize quick pa ses to White as an alternative. This prop gives us the ability to cash in multiple ways, so while we would prefer a standalone play on White's receiving yards or receptions, he should have no problem hitting his scrimmage-yard OVER for the third consecutive week.Bijan Robinson, RB, Falcons vs. Vikings OVER 58.5 receiving yards()Robinson needed just 11 carries to go OVER this number in last weeks 28-23 lo s to the Titans despite the Falcons falling into a negative game script for a good chunk of the contest. With the Falcons expected to control this weeks matchup against the Jaren Hall-led Vikings, a positive game script Carlos Dunlap Jersey plays into Robinsons chances of eclipsing 59-plus rushing yards. It also doesnt hurt that the Vikings are one of the leagues least efficient run defenses, ranking 25th in rush succe s rate (41.6%).MORE:Austin Ekeler, RB, Chargers @ Jets OVER 29.5 receiving yards (Piva) The Chargers finally got their best player back to full health, with Ekeler exploding for 123 yards and a TD against the Bears last weekend. A whopping 94 of those 123 yards came through the air, as the PPR god gashed Chicago for chunk yardage a handful of times.Expect more of the same from QB Justin Herbert and his stud back against the Jets, who have allowed 46 receiving yards per game to RBs (sixth-most in the NFL).Josh Jacobs, RB, Raiders vs. Giants OVER 73.5 rushing yards (iyer)Jacobs ran angry on Monday night against the Lions. He now gets to break free from Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler and keep up the strong running with a chip on his shoulder to regain form from his stellar rushing title in 2022. He should definitely get ma sive volume again, with rookie Aidan OConnell taking over as the starting QB at home. Jacobs broke through versus a tough Detroit run defense, and New York doesnt present the same kind of wall without Leonard Williams. Jacobs should get the nece sary workload and reel off a few chunks in an even or positive game script.Terry McLaurin, WR, Commanders @ Patriots OVER 59.5 receiving yards(Brinkerhoff)Scary Terry has gone over this number in three straight games and four of his last five. He had a pedestrian start to the year in Eric Bienemys offense seeing only around 6.5 targets per game in the first four weeks but since then, McLaurin has jumped up to 9.3 targets per game. And, as we told you in our this week, These aren't your parents' Patriots, and if you're old enough to be Jeremy Hill Jersey playing daily fantasy (you should be if you're reading this), these aren't your childhood Patriots either. New England is around league average at defending WR1s, and Bill Belichick's squad just allowed two Dolphins receivers to pa s the century mark in Week 8. Trust McLaurin to ama s at least 60 yards through the air in Foxboro.Chris Olave, WR, Saints vs. Bears OVER 64.5 receiving yards (Nick Musial)Although Olave has gone UNDER this mark in four of his past five games, a matchup against a putrid Bears pa s defense could result in a strong day for the Saints WR1. Olaves production hasnt exactly mirrored his usage, as the second-year wideout has seen 34 targets over the past three weeks, but he has secured just 19 receptions in that span. Olaves knack for creating separation (110 route wins; 12th among WRs) could lead to some chunk plays through the air on Sunday, helping him break the funk and go OVER 64.5 receiving yards.Jahan Dotson, WR, Commanders @ Patriots OVER 45.5 receiving yards (Piva)We've come full circle with Dotson, who made our preseason sleepers column then faded into early-season obscurity only to emerge again over the past two weeks. Curtis Samuel was clearly not rig |
