Best NFL Thursday Night Football Player Prop Picks

When we have a Thursday Night Football clash between teams with a combined record of 20-4, it’s completely understandable that approaches outside of the standard markets will be desired. That’s where NFL TNF player prop picks come in, and with plenty of star power on the field, there are options all across the board.

That is also true given that these are two division rivals, which means we have plenty of history to look at. After all, these teams met exactly a month ago, which was a 24-14 Detroit victory. This is arguably the deciding game as to whether or not Green Bay can steal the NFC North, making this game even more pivotal.

As for our Packers vs. Lions player props, we’ve got a pick on both sides of the matchup, and we’re going to start with the home team.

 

 

 

Packers vs. Lions Player Props: David Montgomery Over 59.5 Rushing Yards (-115 at BetMGM Sportsbook)

When it comes to the Lions ground game, the self-proclaimed Sonic and Knuckles have been nothing short of extraordinary. That’s RBs David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs, and while a tandem is usually a nightmare for fantasy football managers, the two have now scored in the same game a remarkable 11 times!

Therefore, it’s not surprising that they each have -165 odds to do so again on TNF, which is not the value that we’re looking to provide you with. It can be frustrating with the Sega Genesis duo in terms of picking the right one each week, but we’re confident targeting Montgomery this time around.

He’s the one that was just fed 21 carries on Thanksgiving while Gibbs recorded just nine rush attempts. Montgomery is also the one that has historically performed better in these Packers rivalries. In Gibbs’ three career games against Green Bay, he’s had 40, 54 and 65 rushing yards.

Meanwhile, Montgomery has had 121, 71 and 73 rushing yards in that same span. If we date back to his days with the Chicago Bears, he’s had three 100+ rushing yard games against the Pack. With his experience in the NFC North, we’re taking David Montgomery over 59.5 rushing yards (-115 at BetMGM Sportsbook) to kick off our NFL TNF player prop picks.

 

 

 

Packers vs. Lions Player Prop Bets: Jordan Love Over 247.5 Passing Yards (-115 at BetMGM Sportsbook)

We promised to cover both sides of the game with our Packers vs. Lions player props, so that leaves us with the Green Bay aspect. In that regard, we aren’t going outside the box here either with QB Jordan Love.

Love was absolutely not 100% when these teams played a month ago due to a groin injury the week prior. Even with that being the case, he was still able to throw for 273 passing yards. Even Lions QB Jared Goff threw for just 145 passing yards, and he’s a top-three MVP candidate right now.

We expect a similar performance with a fully healthy Love on the field, as teams have been able to move the ball through the air against Detroit. Now, that is almost always thanks to them having a lead and the opposition needing to catch up. That’s fine - NFL TNF player prop picks have nothing to do with who ends up winning the game.

Love and the Packers very well may find themselves behind again, so padding the stats would certainly be in the cards. That’s what we saw Bears rookie QB Caleb Williams do on Thanksgiving against the Lions with 256 passing yards and three passing touchdowns. Love also threw for 268 passing yards when he faced Detroit in Ford Field last season.

With RB Josh Jacobs also taking more attention from defenses this season, we’re adding to our NFL TNF player prop picks with Jordan Love over 247.5 passing yards (-115 at BetMGM Sportsbook).
