As if having the NFL back in action wasn’t exciting enough, the first Sunday Night Football game of the season is a rematch of the NFC Wild Card Round last season! The Detroit Lions will again play host to the Los Angeles Rams, who they eliminated by just a single point in last year’s playoffs.

With a primetime game on deck, we want to have you covered from all angles. That’s why we’ve shared our best NFL SNF player prop picks with you, which will also include the details of a monster $1,500 BetMGM Sportsbook sign up bonus! 

 

 

 

Best NFL Sunday Night Football Player Prop Picks

Given that it’s just Week 1 and we haven’t seen these teams take the field just yet, we’re going to need to utilize a combination of information and resources to make our Rams vs. Lions player props.

Thankfully, between last year’s stats, offseason additions/losses and injury news, we have plenty to utilize to help make our NFL SNF player prop picks. After checking out all that and more, we’ve come up with a best bet for both teams to get to set for the final game of the Sunday slate! 
 

 

 

Rams vs. Lions Player Props: Matthew Stafford Over 273.5 Passing Yards (-115 at BetMGM Sportsbook)

First up is the Rams side of the matchup, who were one of the most over-performing teams of last season. LA wasn’t expected to make the postseason, but thanks to surprise stories like rookie WR Puka Nacua, they did just that.

Nacua was able to break rookie receiving records thanks to having a season veteran in QB Matthew Stafford throwing him the rock. He’s been the gunslinger for many players setting records, such as WR Calvin Johnson, and he’s the first target of our NFL SNF player prop picks.

He may lead active QBs in terms of career pick sixes (30), but that’s in part due to sheer volume. That’s part of why we expect him to go over his passing yards prop, just as he did in last year’s playoff matchup against the Lions.

Stafford torched his old team through the air to the tune of 367 passing yards, two touchdowns and no picks. That result wasn’t too much of a surprise, as Detroit allowed the sixth-most passing yards per game last season. It was also a similar result when Stafford first faced his old team.

The former Lion threw for 334 yards in that revenge game, so we’re comfortable starting our NFL SNF player prop picks with Matthew Stafford over 273.5 passing yards (-115 at BetMGM Sportsbook).  
 

 

 

Rams vs. Lions Player Prop Bets: David Montgomery Anytime TD Scorer (-115 at BetMGM Sportsbook)

We promised Rams vs. Lions player props for both teams, so now it’s Detroit’s turn. In their regard, we’re focused on the RB position instead. Unfortunately for the Lions and their fans, they suffered one of the most significant preseason injuries.

That was to dual-threat RB Jahmyr Gibbs, who broke out last season in a big way. However, as many fantasy football managers will tell you, the term “vulturing” was evident in Detroit. Fellow RB David Montgomery was the ultimate vulture, stealing touchdowns away from Gibbs.

So, while Gibbs is expected to be ready to go, being a dual threat almost hurts him in the TD department. He does all the work driving the Lions downfield, but Montgomery is often the one punching it in. You may not realize that with Gibbs’ 11 touchdowns last year, but Montgomery had 13, and he only played in 14 games!

Along with Gibbs still nursing his hamstring injury, we’re also adding a David Montgomery anytime TD scorer (-115 at BetMGM Sportsbook) to our NFL SNF player prop picks.
