NFL Player Props, Odds, Predictions & NFL Prop Bets for Saturday 12/16

⭐ Ja'Marr Chase Over 5.5 Receptions (-110)

Since stepping in as the starting quarterback following Joe Burrow's season-ending wrist injury, Browning has quickly established a strong connection with Chase as his go-to receiver.

In the last three games, the Browning-Chase tandem has impressively combined for 259 yards and a touchdown from 18 successful catches out of 22 attempts. This week, they're up against a Minnesota defense that's been vulnerable, allowing an average of 24.5 completions per game this season, and 25.0 in recent games.

Despite potential weather challenges, Chase's exceptional talent, particularly in a matchup featuring his fellow LSU alumni wideout Justin Jefferson, is noteworthy. 

While another Bengals receiver, Tee Higgins, has faced a season of injuries and inconsistencies, managing just 108 yards from five catches in the last two weeks, Chase has consistently excelled. Expect Chase to exceed expectations in total catches in this Saturday's game.

⭐ Jahmyr Gibbs Over 78.5 Rushing + Receiving Yards (-110) at FanDuel

Detroit's offense has seen a spark of dynamism thanks to their rookie running back, a much-needed boost considering the Lions' defense has allowed 149 points in the last five games.

Last week against the Bears, the rookie only needed 14 touches to gain 82 scrimmage yards, showcasing his dual-threat capability in both running and receiving. This versatility has been crucial for Coach Dan Campbell's team, even as David Montgomery continues to be the primary back.

The upcoming Saturday night game presents a significant opportunity for both Detroit backs. Denver's defense has been particularly vulnerable, giving up the most rushing yards per game to running backs (124.7) in the NFL this season, along with a substantial 40.5 yards in the passing game. 

Given these stats, it's likely that the rookie will surpass 80 all-purpose yards for the seventh time in his 12 games.

⭐ Zack Moss Over 72.5 Rushing Yards (-120) at Draftkings

The Colts' fundamental strategy revolves around a strong running game, and this approach persists regardless of Jonathan Taylor's (thumb) availability. 

The recent performance of Ezekiel Elliott against the Steelers, where he significantly contributed to the Patriots' surprising victory on the road, underscores this point. 

Despite some recent lackluster showings from Moss, there's good reason to believe he'll surpass his expected performance this Saturday.

Pittsburgh's defense, which isn't performing to its usual standards, has been allowing over 99 rushing yards per game to running backs this season. In their last game, they conceded 117.9 rushing yards to New England. 

Given these statistics, it's a reasonable bet to expect Moss to exceed 75 rushing yards, marking his fourth time achieving this in eight starts.
