NFL playoff prop bet opportunities are plentiful, as long as you're not trying to make any for the Vikings in the divisional round this weekend. Minnesota's 14-3 record did them zero favors in LA on Monday night during their wild card tilt vs. the Rams (11-7), who dominated both sides of the ball and won, 27-9.
Last Sunday, the Eagles (15-3) bested the Packers, 22-10 (11-7), with Saquon Barkley’s clock-killing kneel down late in the fourth quarter ruining thousands of Barkley anytime TD scorer bets across the country.
As the Eagles host the Rams in the divisional playoffs today, Barkley is among our best player prop bets -- but perhaps not for the reasons you may think.
Best player prop and ATTD bets for Rams-Eagles in NFL divisional round
The Rams are +6 underdogs at top NFL betting sites, and the over/under is 44. Whatever the score ends up being, we've got some fun player prop bets to take a gander at.
Cooper Kupp Anytime TD Scorer
We all know how precipitous the production dropoff for RBs in the NFL can be, but we don’t usually see the same sort of thing with WRs. However, Cooper Kupp has gone in short time from being one of the top dogs in the league at his position to an oft-injured afterthought, and it makes me sad. Kupp has just five total catches in his last four games, and not to be a bummer, but perhaps the end is nigh on his illustrious career. That said, maybe there’s still enough gold in the pan for Matthew Stafford to cook up a TD pass to him this week. The odds make it worth a play.
A.J. Brown Anytime TD Scorer
During last week’s home win over Green Bay, A.J. Brown caught just one pass, and he made more headlines for reading a book on the sideline than he did for any accomplishments on the field. Whether the Eagles change their offensive game plan to get Brown more juice this week because they think it’ll help them win, or because they’re scared of him going all T.O. on them if he gets frozen out again, is hard to say. In either case, maybe Jalen Hurts and the Eagles work Brown back into the flow of the offense against LA.

Kyren Williams OVER Receptions
Sean McVay’s Rams have their work cut out for them this week. To keep Jalen Carter and the rest of Philly’s front four from wreaking havoc in the backfield, they’re going to have to be creative. Matthew Stafford isn’t the most mobile dude playing QB in the league, and it’ll behoove them to use Williams underneath in the passing game. During LA’s wild card romp over the Vikings, he caught all three of his targets for 16 yards and a TD. Look for him to keep getting these opportunities in the City of Brotherly Love.
Saquon Barkley UNDER Rushing Yards
We aren’t fading Barkley as if to say he’s not going to have a good game and be the head honcho of the Eagles offense. This is just one of those “suffering from success” setups, where oddsmakers appropriately set this total high. LA is going to force Hurts to beat them, rather than prioritizing stopping the pass and letting Saquon run wild. As a result, we might see Barkley fall short of this lofty projected yardage total.
