Here is a look at some of the interesting props bets available to bettors followed by my Free NFL Picks.
Which team will cross the 50 on offense 1st?
Chicago Bears -110
San Diego Chargers -130
Analysis: Take the team with the better offense here – the San Diego Chargers.
Will a Kickoff be returned for a TD?
Yes +800
No -3000
Analysis: Despite the fact that Devin Hester and Eric Parker are both playing in this game, I’m going to say no kickoff will be returned for a touchdown.
Which team will punt 1st?
Chicago Bears -130
San Diego Chargers -110
Analysis: The Bears will punt first, no doubt.
Will an INT be returned for a TD?
Yes +400
No -800
Analysis: I say the Bears pick off Philip Rivers at least once but don’t return any for a score.
Longest FG by San Diego Chargers
Over 38½ yards -120
Under 38½ yards -120
Analysis: The Chargers’ Nate Keading will make at least one kick of 40 yards or more. Take the ‘Yes’ here.
Longest FG by Chicago Bears
Over 38½ yards -120
Under 38½ yards -120
Analysis: Bears kicker Robbie Gould can definitely make one from beyond 38.5 yards. Take the ‘Yes’ bettors.
This weekend’s matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers features several interesting props bets for NFL bettors to salivate over. Here are several of the wagers available – and the likely outcomes of each.
Which team will record the 1st sack in the game?
Philadelphia Eagles -115
Analysis: Take the Eagles to take down Brett Favre before Green Bay gets to Philadelphia’s Donovan McNabb.
Will a Kickoff be returned for a TD?
Yes +800
No -3000
Analysis: No way. Both of these teams could use better returners, although the Packers are a bit better in this area.
Longest FG by Green Bay Packers
Over 38½ Yards -120
Under 38½ Yards -120
Analysis: The Packers Mason Crosby will make one of at least 40 yards, particularly after the Eagles stop Green Bay from getting into the end zone on a routine basis.
Final score in the game will be?
Odd Number -140
Even Number EV
Analysis: I’ve got the Eagles winning this game 31-21, so there you go.
Longest FG by Philadelphia Eagles
Over 38½ Yards -120
Under 38½ Yards -120
Analysis: The Eagles have one of the best kickers in all of football in veteran David Akers. Take Akers to make at least one of 40 yards or more.
Will there be a safety in the game?
Yes +800
No -3000
Analysis: Both quarterbacks here are too wise to give up a safety, so it won’t happen in this game bettors.
Will a punt be returned for a TD
Yes +500
No -1000
*Blocked punt does not count
Analysis: Unless the Packers turn the trick, it won’t happen. Philadelphia’s best returners, Brian Mitchell and Vai Sikahema, retired a long time ago.
Which team will cross the 50 on offense 1st?
Philadelphia Eagles -130
Green Bay Packers -110
Analysis: This wager is literally a toss-up. However, since I expect the Eagles to win this game handily, I’ll take them to cross midfield first.
