Prop betting is an exciting outlet for more experienced sport bettors. There are more opportunities to spread your money across different wagers. Prop bets are centered on specificity. You are wagering on the odds of a specific occurrence or nonoccurrence taking place. These bets typically garner a lot of traffic because they extend beyond the normal betting scheme—which involves the point spread, moneyline, etc. Some props are alternative versions of existing lines while others are their own entities. You can find lines for prop bets at most premium US friendly sportsbook sites.
For the NFL, there are props galore throughout the regular season and Playoffs. This year’s betting predictions for the postseason have been off for the most part, so prop bets provide more ways to win money when the spread hasn’t been in your favor. If you’re looking for options for betting on NFL football, prop bets are a great way to go.
While everyone expected the New England Patriots to make the Playoffs, the rest of how the postseason has gone shows how unpredictable the NFL is. The Pats are hosting the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC Championship, while the Philadelphia Eagles welcome the Minnesota Vikings for the NFC Championship. New England is the home team projected to win, though Jacksonville pulled off a major upset beating the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Divisional Round last weekend. The visiting Minnesota Vikings are favored to win the NFC, despite the Eagles having home field advantage. You can find the more specific prop bets below:
