NFL Player Props Week 8: NFL Predictions & Best NFL Player Props This Weekend!

⭐ Kirk Cousins Over 258.5 Passing Yards (-110) at BetMGM

Kirk Cousins had one of the best performances of the season on Monday, finishing with 378 yards passing and two touchdowns in a 22-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers. We expect Cousins to continue his success against a bad Packers team and will look at Cousins in the passing prop market. 

We're going with Kirk Cousins Over 258.5 Passing Yards (-110) at BetMGM. Cousins has four games of at least 300 passing yards this season and has had at least 280 yards in five of the seven games so far. He will now face a poor Packers defense that ranks 21st in points allowed per game at 22 and has only played one quarterback the caliber of Cousins this season. That was Detroit's Jared Goff, and the Lions won 34-20. 

Green Bay's defense ranks 19th in completion percentage (66%), so we expect Cousins to continue his efficient run of games and expect him to clear this passing prop.

⭐ Best Betting Pick: Kirk Cousins Over 258.5 Passing Yards (-110) at BetMGM

⭐ Jordan Love Under 219.5 Passing Yards (-114) at FanDuel

For our second player prop, we're staying in the same game. We're going to look to fade Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love, who has continued to struggle in recent weeks along with the rest of the Packers offense. 

We like Jordan Love Under 219.5 Passing Yards (-114) at FanDuel. Love has not thrown for over 200 yards in his last two games, which came against two of the worst pass defenses in the Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos. Love is 31st in completion percentage (51%) and 23rd in passing yards per game (199). 

Given the struggles Love had against the worst defense in Denver and a poor pass defense in Las Vegas, we don't expect him to get back on track against a Minnesota team that is coming off its best win of the season. 

⭐ Best Betting Pick: Jordan Love Under 219.5 Passing Yards (-114) at FanDuel

⭐ Jalen Hurts Anytime Touchdown (-115) at FanDuel

Our next player prop is coming in the anytime touchdown market. We're going to look at Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts to get in the end zone against Washington in this NFC East showdown. 

We like Jalen Hurts Anytime Touchdown (-115) at FanDuel. Hurts has scored a touchdown in his last three games and has a rushing touchdown in five of seven games this season. 

The "tush push" has garnered attention for how dominant it has been in short-yardage situations, and if the Eagles are anywhere near the goal line, Hurts is almost guaranteed to get pushed into the end zone for the score. Considering he's scored in four of six games, we like these odds of -115 for him to score this weekend and make it four games in a row with a touchdown.

⭐ Best Betting Pick: Jalen Hurts Anytime Touchdown (-115) at FanDuel

⭐ Najee Harris Over 41.5 Rushing Yards (-110) at bet365

Najee Harris got into the end zone for the first time last week for the Steelers' first rushing touchdown of the season. Harris finished with 53 yards and the score in the Steelers' 24-17 win over the Rams. We're going to look to back Harris in Week 8. 

We're going with Najee Harris Over 41.5 Rushing Yards (-110) at bet365. Harris has gained at least 42 yards in four of six games this season and has done so in four of his last five games. 

Harris will now go against a Jaguars defense that does rank fourth in the league in yards allowed per rush (3.6) and rushing yards allowed per contest (80.6), but we're going to back Harris given the recent increase in production in the run game from the Steelers. Jacksonville could also be looking forward to its bye week after a busy last five weeks. The Jaguars spent two weeks in London before returning home against the Colts and will now go to Pittsburgh a week after winning in New Orleans. The recent travel could serve as a fatigue factor that should benefit Harris and the Steelers' run game. 

⭐ Best Betting Pick: Najee Harris Over 41.5 Rushing Yards (-110) at bet365

⭐ Bryce Young Under 226.5 Passing Yards (-110) at BetMGM

The only positive thing for the Carolina Panthers happened last week: the team didn't lose. Carolina was on a much-needed bye after losing its first six games with the Panthers not being competitive in a majority of them. Much of the issue stems from Carolina having one of the worst offenses in the league, ranking 30th in yards per play (4.4). We're going to look to fade the Panthers by targeting Bryce Young's passing yards prop. 

We're going with Bryce Young Under 226.5 Passing Yards (-110) at BetMGM. Young has only surpassed this yardage total in just one of five games this season, and that was against Detroit in the 42-24 loss when some of the 247 yards came in garbage time with the game decided. Young ranks dead last in the league in yards per pass attempt (5.3). 

Young's lack of production doesn't warrant an over on his passing yards prop considering how anemic the Panthers offense has been. The only positive is maybe an extra week of preparation helps Young, but until we start to see more success, we're going to fade Young.
