Best NFL Saturday Player Prop Picks

We already know for a fact that the Texans and Chiefs will be featured in the postseason, as they have already clinched their divisions. Of course, the major news of arguably the entire season is the status of Kansas City QB Patrick Mahomes. As of Thursday, it appears that he may be ready to go.

That has caused a massive odds shift - the Chiefs went from three-point home underdogs to 3.5-point favorites! Such big shifts are what make NFL Saturday player prop picks a preferred approach for many, and the same can be said for Steelers vs. Ravens rivalries - nine straight meetings between them have been decided by seven points or fewer.

 

 

 

Texans vs. Chiefs Player Props: Isaiah Pacheco Over 13.5 Carries (-115 at BetMGM Sportsbook)

It’s only fitting that we begin our NFL Saturday player prop picks with the earlier of the two games. Texans vs. Chiefs kicks off at 1 PM ET like the usual Sunday slate, and they present quite an interesting matchup.

Houston has been quite up-and-down this season, while Kansas City has been extremely underwhelming for a team that has an amazing 13-1 record. All that said, there are still glaring trends for both teams, which is why we also targeted NFL Saturday player props for our Texans vs. Chiefs predictions article.

Let’s add to that with the other side of the ball, which means the Chiefs. We targeted Houston RB Joe Mixon in the article above, and now, we’re going to focus on Kansas City RB Isaiah Pacheco. He recently made his return from his early-season injury, and we expect head coach Andy Reid to lean on him heavily.

With the latest suggestion being that Mahomes will be ready to go, Reid is still not going to want to put him in risky positions. That means turning and handing the ball off early and often, and he went over this line last Sunday in a game where Mahomes still threw the ball 38 times!

We don’t expect him to drop back that many times for Week 16, so we’re starting our NFL Saturday player prop picks with Isaiah Pacheco over 13.5 carries (-115 at BetMGM Sportsbook).

 

 

 

Steelers vs. Ravens Player Props: Zay Flowers Over 5.5 Receptions (+120 at BetMGM Sportsbook)

To expand on what we noted earlier, these Steelers vs. Ravens AFC North rivalries are virtually always classics, including the meeting earlier this season that was decided by just two points. Again, all the more reason to target NFL Saturday player prop picks instead of the point spread or something similar.

These are also two teams that play physical and rely on defense, but this year, Baltimore’s defense has been far weaker than usual. That is why Pittsburgh fans are praying that WR George Pickens will be healthy enough to play, as their offense has been quite awful the past two games without him.

So, we’d generally pick on the Ravens poor secondary in this spot with our NFL Saturday player prop picks, but with that uncertainty, we’re going to focus on the Baltimore offense. While QB Lamar Jackson is an MVP candidate and RB Derrick Henry is a monster, we’re actually going to look elsewhere.

That would be second-year WR Zay Flowers to have a big game. We see great value with this plus-money given what the Steelers allowed last weekend. The Philadelphia Eagles WR AJ Brown went off for eight catches for 110 yards and a touchdown. Now, we’ll admit Flowers didn’t have his best game in this rivalry earlier this season.

However, he was still targeted six times, and has been at the very least for seven straight games. That streak started with a 12-target game, and he is primed for a big game. It’s also worth noting that he had 11 targets in his first-ever game against Pittsburgh. So, we’re adding to our NFL Saturday player prop picks with some plus-money action by taking Zay Flowers over 5.5 receptions (+120 at BetMGM Sportsbook).
