Continue reading to see which NFL Week 18 prop bets you should put your money on this Sunday. I will break down my favorite bets and give you my predictions for each wager.

NFL Week 18 Player Props

The final week of the NFL season is here, and over half the teams in the league are still alive for the playoffs. That should make for plenty of exciting matchups this week. Here are my favorite NFL Week 18 player props, with odd courtesy of Bovada Sportsbook.

Atlanta Falcons: Bijan Robinson Anytime TD Scorer (+120)

Despite another frustrating season under coach Arthur Smith, the Falcons (7-9) are still alive in the race for the NFC South title. Atlanta needs to win this weekend and have the Buccaneers lose. If both of those happen, then the Falcons will win the division and be in the playoffs as the fourth seed.

If the Falcons want to upset the Saints this weekend, then they need to rely on their offensive playmakers. That means finally using RB Bijan Robinson like the top-10 draft pick that he was last April. Robinson has just 203 carries this season for 948 rushing yards.

He also has 51 catches for 384 receiving yards and seven total TDs as a rookie. Smith has been reluctant to use Bijan this season, but the Falcons will need to pull out all the stops to beat the Saints. He is listed at +120 to score a TD this weekend.

New Orleans has allowed just 10 rushing TDs this season, tied for the sixth-lowest in the league. They have also allowed 20 receiving TDs, and Bijan had one of each against the Saints in their first matchup. I think he will score again this weekend in the regular season finale.

Green Bay Packers: Jordan Love Over 1.5 Passing TDs (-170)

Another team that is desperate for a win this weekend is the Green Bay Packers (8-8). Green Bay can clinch their spot in the postseason with a win this weekend over the Bears.

These longtime rivals met in Week 1, and the Packers earned a 38-20 win in Chicago. QB Jordan Love racked up 245 passing yards on just 15 completions and had three passing TDs. Football betting sites have Love listed at over/under 1.5 passing TDs for this week.

Chicago has allowed 29 passing TDs this season, which is the fourth-most in the league. The defense has improved since acquiring Montez Sweat from Washington. They have allowed multiple passing TDs in two of their last five games.

However, I still think that Love and the Packers are in line for a big day this weekend. I would take the over in this total passing TDs player prop wager.

Detroit Lions: Jared Goff Over 0.5 Interceptions (+130)

Another NFC North QB that I would bet on this weekend is Lions’ QB Jared Goff. The Lions have already clinched the division, but they still have a chance to improve their seeding with a win this weekend.

Detroit takes on Minnesota, who has already been eliminated from playoff contention. However, the rivalry between these teams is intense. The Vikings would like nothing more than to send the Lions to the playoffs on back-to-back losses.

I think the Lions will take care of business at home, but they will not be perfect. Goff is listed at over/under 0.5 interceptions for this game. He has 12 INTs this season, including two in last week’s loss to the Cowboys.

Goff has at least one INT in eight of the Lions’ 16 games so far this season. I think he will throw at least one more this week against the Vikings, and I suggest taking the over in this NFL Week 18 player props bet.

Dallas Cowboys: CeeDee Lamb Anytime TD Scorer (-152)

Controversy aside, the Cowboys’ win over the Lions last week has them in a great position this week. If Dallas beats the Commanders, then they will lock up the NFC East title and be the second seed in the NFC. If Dallas loses and the Eagles win, then the Cowboys will fall to the fifth seed.

Washington has had one of the worst defenses in the league this season. The Commanders have allowed a league-high 35 passing TDs this year. They have also allowed 4,318 passing yards, which is the third-most in the NFL this season.

Dallas’s offense should be in for a big day, and that includes star WR CeeDee Lamb. He has 10 total TDs this season, including at least one in seven of his last eight games.

Lamb had one TD in the Cowboys’ 45-10 win over the Commanders earlier this season. He is listed at -152 to score again this weekend. I think he finds the endzone at least once and would be on him in this player prop wager.

Miami Dolphins: De’Von Achane Anytime TD Scorer (-139)

The final Sunday Night Football game of the regular season will be for the AFC East title. Miami will welcome Buffalo to South Beach, with the winner securing the second seed in the AFC. Even with a loss, the Dolphins would still make the playoffs as the sixth seed.

A win would secure home-field advantage for at least the first two rounds for the Dolphins, though. They will likely be without star WR2 Jaylen Waddle, though. RB Raheem Mostert, who is tied with Christian McCaffrey for the most total TDs this season at 21 TDs, could also be out.

That could mean the Dolphins lean on RB De’Von Achane more this week. Achane had a great start to the season but missed multiple games with a knee injury. Sports betting sites have Achane listed at -139 to score a TD this week against the Bills.

Achane has 10 total TDs this season in the 10 games he has played in. However, he has just one TD in his last four games. I think he will score this weekend, though, especially if Mostert is out and Achane is forced to be the lead RB.

Buffalo Bills: James Cook Over 89.5 Scrimmage Yards (-115)

Rounding out my list of the best NFL Week 18 prop bets is this wager for James Cook’s total scrimmage yards. Cooks is listed at over/under 89.5 combined rushing and receiving yards for this prime-time matchup in Miami.

Buffalo has finally started using Cook to his full abilities. The second-year RB has racked up 1,515 total rushing and receiving yards this year. He has 798 yards in the last seven weeks. He also has at least 100 total scrimmage yards in six of the Bills’ last eight games.

Cook is coming off of back-to-back weeks with 70 or fewer total yards, though. Miami also held Cook to just 77 total yards in their first meeting in Week 4 this season.

The Bills have relied on Cook more in the second half of the season, though. With that in mind, I think he will get more than enough touches to get over 90 combined yards this week. So, I would take the over in this total yards prop wager.
