Packers: 3 terrific prop bets vs Eagles in Week 12
The Green Bay Packers travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles in this week’s Sunday Night Football matchup.
The Eagles are currently favored by 6.5 points with about 60 percent of the betting money on them winning the game according to PFF’s Greenline. With the Packers being 4-7 against the spread and the Eagles at 5-5, it’s probably a safe bet to stay away from the spread in this one.
There are, however, a few interesting prop bets to take a long, hard look at. Here are three of them you should consider.
Here are three terrific prop bets to seriously consider as the Green Bay Packers take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 12.
Aaron Jones’ Prop Bet
Under 3.5 receptions
There’s expected to be some light rain on Sunday night which could impact the passing games. Green Bay has struggled to get Aaron Jones going in this department. That’s especially surprising considering the lack of other receiving targets on the team. He’s caught three or fewer passes in eight of Green Bay’s 11 games this season and only received two targets in two of their last three games. I expect that trend to continue as the Packers keep the ball on the ground and try to pound out a victory.
Christian Watson’s Prop Bet
Under 3.5 receptions
In recent weeks, Watson has been the Packers’ breakout player, tallying five touchdowns in the last two games. His natural talent is becoming more apparent as he works on the critical aspects of his game (like catching the football). His speed is undeniable and will always give him opportunities.
Before he caught four passes in each of the last two games, he hadn’t surpassed that mark in his first six games. With the light rain and expected wind, Aaron Rodgers might prefer the shorter routes like the ones Randall Cobb loves to run.
Next. Packers will likely overhaul roster after season. dark
Aaron Rodgers’ Prop Bet
Over 2.5 rushing yards
Rodgers’ mobility has always been an underrated part of his game. He can not only read pockets while keeping his eyes downfield, but could also get out and run. He ran for 40 yards three weeks ago against the Detroit Lions and has been using his legs more recently. It just takes one scramble for the old man to surpass this prop bet.
