NFL Prop Bet Payday - Week 13
Some prop bets are pure luck in nature, like betting on whether the final point total will be even or odd. There is no skill to determining that. Where skill does come into play is taking on the bets that challenge an individual player to have a big game … or at least score a touchdown.
Here are three bets we're making along with our friends at The Huddle that you should consider placing bets on - and we're not including that absurd -400 number on Christian McCaffrey scoring a a touchdown. These are three affordable bets that could easily hit for you.
Up and Adams
The Giants pass defense has been hideous all year and have allowed huge days to elite receivers all season, including Mike Evans (three TDs), Adam Thielen (two TDs), Kenny Golladay (two TDs), Amari Cooper (one TD) and Allen Robinson (one TD). In two career meetings, Packers wideout Davante Adams (-143 to score) has caught 13 passes for 210 yards with a touchdown in each game. You have to know the Packers are aware of this and will push Adams early and often, especially when they get in the red zone.

The truth Ertz
Bill Streicher - USA TODAY Sports
The Dolphins are brutal on multiple levels on both sides of the ball. The Eagles got a new lease on life with the Cowboys' loss to Buffalo on Thanksgiving Day and need to take advantage of it. It is easy to envision Philly scoring four or five touchdowns in this game and, if they score four, it's hard to imagine tight end Zach Ertz (100) not having at least one of them.
Jack of all trades
Brian Spurlock - USA TODAY Sports
The Titans have been brutalized by tight ends all season - both great and middling alike. It is a weakness teams have taken advantage of, including the Colts, with Eric Ebron scoring a touchdown in the teams' first meeting this season. Now Jack Doyle (+230) is the only show at tight end and, at that price, is a value pick for a team prone to not covering tight ends in the red zone.
