In the midst of the thrilling return of NFL action this week, one player stands out as a breakout star: Jordan Love. His impressive performance in the second half of last season was no fluke, and he is poised to start the season strong against the vulnerable Eagles secondary.
As we eagerly anticipate the start of the NFL season with games on Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday, the excitement is palpable. And what adds to this excitement are the numerous NFL player props available for betting this week.
I am kicking off the season with a play for Thursday Night Football and a bet for Friday, followed by some picks for the Sunday early/mid slate. Football fans, welcome back!
Javonte Williams of the Denver Broncos is expected to have a busy Sunday, but not in the traditional sense. With rookie QB Bo Nix likely to rely on short passes, Williams could see plenty of opportunities to make catches in the game plan. Head Coach Sean Payton’s history of utilizing running backs in the passing game bodes well for Williams, who showed his receiving skills in his last 11 games in 2023.
In addition to Williams, I also like the reception total for RB2 Jaleel McLaughlin. While it may be a bit risky, parlaying both Broncos running backs to exceed their reception totals could prove to be a lucrative bet.
The Denver Broncos run defense, as highlighted in my colleague Jason Logan’s season preview, is a weak spot for the team. This could spell trouble for them but presents a great opportunity for Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III to have a standout performance on Sunday.
Overall, the stage is set for an action-packed start to the NFL season, with plenty of exciting player props to keep fans on the edge of their seats. So buckle up, football fans, because the NFL action is back in full force!
