Best NFL Player Prop Bets for Sunday Football Week 18
Cam AkersCam Akers is finally getting the ball in Los Angeles. With 23 carries in Week 16 and 19 carries in Week 17, Akers was able to exceed 100 yards in both games, going for 118 and 123 rushing yards.
He’ll now face a Seattle Seahawks defense that allows 150.5 rushing yards per game, which ranks 30th in the NFL. Sean McVay, please continue to feed the beast!
In a game that matters for Seattle, but doesn’t for the Rams, I’d expect the divisional rival to try and play spoiler. If they want to do so, they’ll need to do it with the run game.
The Pick: Cam Akers over 72.5 rushing yards (-120)
Robert Tonyan
The Green Bay Packers will have their full receiving corps back at Aaron Rodgers' disposal again on Sunday night and, while the focus will be on stopping the run and their rookie wide receivers, that’ll leave one person out of the spotlight: tight end Robert Tonyan.
Tonyan was a focal point of the offense earlier in the year but disappeared before being found again last week against the Minnesota Vikings. Before going for three receptions, 52 yards and a touchdown last week, Tonyan had only one reception in each game for the month of December.
He’ll now face a Lions defense that gives up the most touchdowns to tight ends and ranks fifth overall in defending his position.
The Pick: Robert Tonyan over 24.5 receiving yards (-115)
Aaron Rodgers
Last week, Rodgers didn’t have to do much as the Packers defense and the run game controlled from start to finish. But in a Sunday night showdown, in a win-you're-in game for the Packers, Rodgers is going to put on a show.
While it’ll also help that the Packers are facing a Detroit Lions defense that’s last in the NFL in total yards per game and 29th in the NFL in points allowed per game, it also helps that the last time these two faced each other, Rodgers threw three interceptions, all within the red zone and two on the goaline.
Rodgers will exceed 1.5 passing touchdowns for the 10th time this season and will do it in classic fashion on a primetime stage.
