6 NFL Player Props for Sunday, November 17: Moore Takes Aim at Pack Secondary
Week 11 of the NFL season is officially here! The week started with a Philadelphia Eagles win over the Washington Commanders, a win that was much more of a blowout than the final score dictated.
That was said to be one of the most exciting games of the week, and it ended up being something of a dud. Will the rest of the weekend provide more excitement? We sure hope so!
There are several exciting games on paper, and we’ve put together our favorite Underdog player props from those matchups. We’ll specifically target the matchup between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs, the divisional rivalry between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers, and another divisional battle between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers.
Let’s dive into our two plays from each game!
Packers Vs. Bears
Jordan Love OVER 1.5 Passing Touchdowns, D.J. Moore UNDER 4.5 Receptions
The Packers have owned the Bears for many years. Jordan Love is taking over what Aaron Rodgers started, continuing the rivalry between the two franchises. Love and the Packers are coming off a bye, and they’re going to be hungry to take down their divisional opponent. He might throw for three or four touchdowns in this one, making it pretty easy for us to take the over on 1.5, especially given the Bears’ recent struggles.
D.J. Moore is having a down year. Caleb Williams hasn’t been the quarterback that the organization expected, and Moore is getting frustrated. (Look no further than him walking off the field mid-play in a recent game).
The Packers don’t seem to respect Moore, and they’re going to do everything they can to shut him down, which is why we’ll take the under on his receptions prop.
Ravens Vs. Steelers
Lamar Jackson UNDER 42.5 Rushing Yards, Chris Boswell OVER 1.5 Made Field Goals
This could be a great game between two of the league’s best defenses. The Steelers’ rushing defense is staunch, especially against quarterbacks. They haven’t allowed a QB to rush for more than 27 yards in a game this year, and we don’t have confidence that Lamar Jackson will break through and rush for over 43. The Steelers will likely force Jackson to throw the ball a lot in this one, limiting his opportunities to rush the ball and gain significant yardage.
Chris Boswell has been nothing short of automatic for the Steelers all season. He’s one of the most accurate kickers in the league, a major catalyst for their impressive record.
If the Steelers struggle to get into the endzone, look for Boswell to come in the clutch for them as he’s done all year, kicking at least two field goals to not only bail them out but to cash this prop as well.
Chiefs Vs. Bills
Patrick Mahomes OVER 238.5 Passing Yards, Amari Cooper OVER 47.5 Receiving Yards
Patrick Mahomes loves playing the Bills. He’s thrown for 270+ yards in four of his past five meetings with them, including a 378-yard, three-touchdown performance in 2022.
He might be off to a slow start by his standards to begin the 2024 campaign but look for Mahomes to come alive against a familiar foe. He should have close to 300 yards in this game, hopefully providing a sweat-free opportunity with a line of 238.5.
Amari Cooper is coming back into the fold for the Bills at the high time. He’s missed two games with a wrist injury, but every report has indicated that he’s ready to go, hoping to contribute in a big way against the Chiefs.
Cooper is a big-play threat for the Bills, and if they get down at any point in this game, it’s a perfect opportunity to throw the ball downfield to a veteran target. 47.5 yards is a very conservative line for him, and we love his chances of smashing this by the end of the third quarter, if not sooner.
