The selections below cover several popular NFL betting markets, including passing yards, completions, rushing attempts and receiving yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Michael Penix Jr Atlanta Falcons UNDER 229.5 Passing Yards (-114)<\/strong> \u2013 Falcons vs Buccaneers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Michael Penix Jr has fallen short of this line in 3 of his last 4 games while just creeping past this number with 240 passing yards in his lone over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now he draws a brutal matchup against a Tampa Bay Buccaneers secondary that has ranked 2nd in opponent drop back EPA and 8th in opponent drop back success rate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tampa Bay just crushed the Carolina Panthers in a 43-13 victory where they held Bryce Young to a messily 163 passing yards. We have also seen multiple opposing quarterbacks fall well short of their respective passing yard totals including Jordan Love (197), Kyler Murray (168) and Joe Burrow (254). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Buccaneers grade out as the 4th best collection of cornerbacks in the league at defending pass catchers so the Falcons may find it much easier to move the ball on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Jacoby Brissett Arizona Cardinals OVER 9.5 Rushing Yards<\/strong> (-114) \u2013 Cardinals vs Cowboys<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jacoby Brissett has cleared this line with ease while recording 14+ rushing yards in 4 of 7 season during the 2026 campaign while averaging 11.4 rushing yards per game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now Brissett draws an ideal matchup against a Dallas Cowboys defense that has allowed the MOST quarterback rushing yard with an average of 32 per game. EVERY SINGLE opposing quarterback has surpassed this line against Dallas including Jordan Love (12), Jalon Daniels (23), CJ Stroud (12), Lamar Jackson (50, Jayden Daniels (69) and Jaxson Dart (54). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Cowboys are favored by -6.5, and we have a massive total of 54.5 so Brissett should be in throwing situations all throughout contest which is perfect as those broken plays could turn into scrambles and we only need 10 yards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also shouldn&#8217;t have to worry about late game kneel downs taking away from our total with the Cardinals sitting as -6.5-point underdogs.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/splashsports.com\/wagertalk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WagerTalk-NFL-Pickem-20K-Promotion-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40691\" style=\"width:617px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/legacy.winnersandwhiners.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WagerTalk-NFL-Pickem-20K-Promotion-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/legacy.winnersandwhiners.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WagerTalk-NFL-Pickem-20K-Promotion-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/legacy.winnersandwhiners.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WagerTalk-NFL-Pickem-20K-Promotion-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/legacy.winnersandwhiners.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WagerTalk-NFL-Pickem-20K-Promotion-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/legacy.winnersandwhiners.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WagerTalk-NFL-Pickem-20K-Promotion.png 1672w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bucky Irving Tampa Bay Buccaneers OVER 2.5 Receptions (-120)<\/strong> \u2013 Falcons vs Buccaneers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bucky Irving has been relatively quiet as a receiver out of the backfield in recent weeks, but he&#8217;s still averaged 2.6 receptions per game on the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now Kenneth Gainwell is listed as questionable due to a hip injury and he&#8217;s recorded 11 receptions 16 targets in his last five games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Irving should see some extra looks against an Atlanta Falcons defense that has allowed the 2nd most receptions to opposing running backs with an average of 6.1 per game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have seen several opposing running backs eclipse this particular line against the Falcons including Christian McCaffrey (6), D&#8217;Andre Swift (4), Alvin Kamara (5) and Jaylen Warren (5). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Irving cleared this line in each of the first two weeks of the season when Baker Mayfield was at full strength with 4 and 7 receptions. Now that Mayfield has a game under his belt to shake off the rust and Gainwell is a bit banged up so it may be time to look Irving&#8217;s way again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rhamondre Stevenson New England Patriots OVER 12.5 Rush Attempts (-114) \u2013 Patriots vs Dolphins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rhamondre Stevenson has established himself as the Patriots #1 option at running back as he&#8217;s played 60+% of New England&#8217;s offensive snaps in four straight games while clearing this line in three of those games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stevenson only fell short last week in a game where the Patriots were trailing the Chicago Bears throughout the contest. Now Stevenson gets an opportunity to feast on a Miami Dolphins run defense that ranks 28th in opponent rush success rate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have seen several running backs eclipse this rush attempts line against Miami including Braelon Allen (17), Samije Perine (14)\/Chase Brown (13) (same game), Aaron Jones (18), Kenneth Walker III (18) and Ashton Jeanty (23). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TreVeyon Henderson missed practice on Friday due to an illness and Corey Kiner is young back who is still finding his footing in the NFL. The Patriots are favored by a touchdown on the road, and they should be looking to pound the rock early and often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mason Taylor Over 2.5 Receptions (-125) \u2013 Raiders vs Jets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mason Taylor has become much more involved in the New York Jets offense since returning to action after missing two games with a thumb injury as he&#8217;s cleared this line in three straight games while recording a combined 12 receptions on 15 targets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now Taylor gets an extremely favorable matchup against a Las Vegas Raiders team that has allowed to 2nd most receptions to opposing tight ends with an average of 7.3 per game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just last week, the Raiders allowed a combined 11 receptions to Los Angeles Chargers tight ends Colby Parkinson (5), Tyler Higbee (2) and Davis Allen (4). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have several opposing tight ends eclipse this line including Dalton Kincaid (7), Eli Raridon (5)\/Hunter Henry (3) (same game), Noah Fant (4) and Juwan Johnson (8). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Jets backfield is banged up as both Breece Hall and Braelon Allen have been dealing with injuries. This could lead to Taylor being utilized as a safety blanket for Geno Smith and he&#8217;s been looking his way more and more recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>Jaxon Smith-Njigba Seattle Seahawks OVER 97.5 Receiving Yards (-114)<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> \u2013 Bears vs Seahawks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jaxon Smith-Njigba has absolutely dismantled this line with 102+ receiving yards in 6 of 7 games (avg 123.9\/game) while landing on 76 yards in his lone under against the Los Angeles Chargers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now Smith-Njigba has the opportunity to feast on a Chicago Bears secondary that ranks DEAD LAST in yards allowed per pass attempt while allowing an NFL high 9 receptions of 40+ yards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bears rank below average in yards allowed to opposing wide receivers with an average of 149.4 per game. We have seen several opposing wide outs eclipse their respective receiving yard lines including Jahan Dotson (87), Christian Watson (143)\/Matthew Golden (123) (same game) and Isaiah Williams (73). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Seahawks are favored by -3, and we have a modest total of 46.5, but I feel like this one still sets up as a shootout and JSN will have benefit of playing on the fast track at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Anytime Touchdown Scorer Props for NFL Week8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anytime touchdown scorer bets offer a different approach to NFL player props. Rather than focusing on yardage or receptions, these selections consider scoring opportunities, offensive roles and opposing defensive weaknesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rhamondre Stevenson<\/strong> Anytime Touchdown Scorer (-125) \u2013 Patriots vs Dolphins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rhamondre Stevenson has scored a touchdown in 3 of his last 4 games including a 48-yard reception in his most recent game as time expired before halftime and the Chicago Bears seem to forget how to tackle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stevenson has handled 77 of the New England Patriots 164 rush attempts (47%) including all three of the backfields carries inside of the 5-yard line and he converted two of those into scores. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Miami Dolphins have allowed 8 running back touchdowns through six games while owning the 5th highest rushing success rate. Ashton Jeanty, Christian McCaffrey and Kenneth Walker III all logged multiple scores against Miami. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stevenson scored three touchdowns in his most recent game against his division rival (Jan 6th, 2026) while recording 153 all-purpose yards despite seeing only 9 touches. The Patriots are favored a touchdown on the road so they should be pounding the rock late into this contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CeeDee Lamb Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+100) \u2013 Cardinals vs Cowboys<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CeeDee Lamb has found the end zone in 4 of his first 7 games while leading the Dallas Cowboys in target share (29.3%), receiving yards per game (93), red zone targets (13) and receiving touchdowns (6). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That run includes last week&#8217;s game against the Philadelphia Eagles where Lamb caught 5 of 12 targets for 74 yards and two touchdowns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now Lamb draws an ideal matchup against an Arizona Cardinals defense that has allowed the 2nd most touchdowns to opposing wide receivers with 10 on the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Cardinals defense plays zone coverage at one of the highest rates in the NFL and thy have allowed the 7th most yards after the catch so Lamb should find success as a downfield threat and catch-&amp;-run option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arizona has held less talented wide outs out of the end zone in recent weeks but similar players to Lamb have hit paydirt including Malik Nabers, Jameson Williams, Jaxon Smith-Njigba (3) and Ladd McConkey. We have a dream game script with the Cowboys favored by -6.5 and a huge total of 54.5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NFL Player Props Week 8: Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the best NFL player props for Week 8?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Steve Seagrave&#8217;s eight Week 8 selections include Michael Penix Jr. passing yards, Jacoby Brissett rushing yards, Mason Taylor receptions, Jaxon Smith-Njigba receiving yards, and anytime touchdown bets on Rhomondre Stevenson and CeeDee Lamb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What NFL player prop markets are covered?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This article covers quarterback passing yards and rushing yards, running back rushing attempts and receptions, wide receiver and tight end receiving yards, and anytime touchdown scorer bets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can I compare NFL player prop odds?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sportsbook prices and available markets can differ.

We have seen several opposing wide outs eclipse their respective receiving yard lines including Jahan Dotson (87), Christian Watson (143)\/Matthew Golden (123) (same game) and Isaiah Williams (73). <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The Seahawks are favored by -3, and we have a modest total of 46.5, but I feel like this one still sets up as a shootout and JSN will have benefit of playing on the fast track at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Anytime Touchdown Scorer Props for NFL Week8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Anytime touchdown scorer bets offer a different approach to NFL player props. Rather than focusing on yardage or receptions, these selections consider scoring opportunities, offensive roles and opposing defensive weaknesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rhamondre Stevenson<\/strong> Anytime Touchdown Scorer (-125) \u2013 Patriots vs Dolphins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Rhamondre Stevenson has scored a touchdown in 3 of his last 4 games including a 48-yard reception in his most recent game as time expired before halftime and the Chicago Bears seem to forget how to tackle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Stevenson has handled 77 of the New England Patriots 164 rush attempts (47%) including all three of the backfields carries inside of the 5-yard line and he converted two of those into scores. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The Miami Dolphins have allowed 8 running back touchdowns through six games while owning the 5th highest rushing success rate. Ashton Jeanty, Christian McCaffrey and Kenneth Walker III all logged multiple scores against Miami. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Stevenson scored three touchdowns in his most recent game against his division rival (Jan 6th, 2026) while recording 153 all-purpose yards despite seeing only 9 touches. The Patriots are favored a touchdown on the road so they should be pounding the rock late into this contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CeeDee Lamb Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+100) \u2013 Cardinals vs Cowboys<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>CeeDee Lamb has found the end zone in 4 of his first 7 games while leading the Dallas Cowboys in target share (29.3%), receiving yards per game (93), red zone targets (13) and receiving touchdowns (6). <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>That run includes last week's game against the Philadelphia Eagles where Lamb caught 5 of 12 targets for 74 yards and two touchdowns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Now Lamb draws an ideal matchup against an Arizona Cardinals defense that has allowed the 2nd most touchdowns to opposing wide receivers with 10 on the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The Cardinals defense plays zone coverage at one of the highest rates in the NFL and thy have allowed the 7th most yards after the catch so Lamb should find success as a downfield threat and catch-&amp;-run option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Arizona has held less talented wide outs out of the end zone in recent weeks but similar players to Lamb have hit paydirt including Malik Nabers, Jameson Williams, Jaxon Smith-Njigba (3) and Ladd McConkey. We have a dream game script with the Cowboys favored by -6.5 and a huge total of 54.5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NFL Player Props Week 8: Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the best NFL player props for Week 8?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Seagrave's eight Week 8 selections include Michael Penix Jr. passing yards, Jacoby Brissett rushing yards, Mason Taylor receptions, Jaxon Smith-Njigba receiving yards, and anytime touchdown bets on Rhomondre Stevenson and CeeDee Lamb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What NFL player prop markets are covered?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>This article covers quarterback passing yards and rushing yards, running back rushing attempts and receptions, wide receiver and tight end receiving yards, and anytime touchdown scorer bets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can I compare NFL player prop odds?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Sportsbook prices and available markets can differ.
