There’s no better week than Thanksgiving Week in the NFL. On this week’s slate, there are four games on Thursday and Friday, plenty of games on Sunday, and another game on Monday. It truly doesn’t get any better than this!
Earlier this week, Joe Burrow said it best. It remembers Thanksgiving weekend, when Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson would connect for a ton of yards and still lose on Thursday.
I’ve already touched on Thursday and Friday’s games, so we’ll look deeper into Sunday’s matchups. Ultimately, we’re looking for the players who are going to step up this weekend like Stafford and Johnson did almost every Thanksgiving.
Join us as we review some NFL player props Week 13 below.
NFL Picks Week 13 At-a-Glance
I’ve added a few NFL prop bets for Week 13. Let’s dive into the best passing yards prop bets and other NFL player props that you should consider for Week 13.
Texans’ Woody Marks Under 56.5 Rushing Yards (-110)
Houston Texans vs. Indianapolis Colts – November 30, 1:00 PM ET
Woody Marks finished with 74 rushing yards against Buffalo last week. However, he’s hit at least 57 rushing yards in only 36% of games this season. In fact, he’s never hit 50+ rushing yards in back-to-back games this season.
Marks has earned a higher share of snaps as of late, but he’s still only added 3.8 rushing yards per attempt over the last ten games.
Plus, he’ll face a Colts defense that ranks inside the top ten in rush yards and rush attempts. Ultimately, Marks added a lot of yards after contact against Buffalo, but that’s unlikely to transpire when he faces the Colts.
Saints’ Chris Olave Under 72.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
New Orleans Saints vs. Miami Dolphins – November 30, 1:00 PM ET
Last week against Atlanta, Chris Olave earned 70 receiving yards despite 13 targets. He caught nine of those 13 passes and still managed just 70 receiving yards.
In fact, over the last five games, he’s added no more than 70 receiving yards in three of them. That’s kind of crazy, especially when knowing that Olave has averaged nine targets per game over the last five games.
With Tyler Shough under center, the Saints aren’t breaking out with big plays. Let’s take Olave to add below 72.5 receiving yards.
Bills’ Josh Allen Over 238.5 Passing Yards (-110)
Buffalo Bills vs. Pittsburgh Steelers – November 30, 4:25 PM ET
This hasn’t been the most effective season from Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. However, because of inefficiency and ineffectiveness, Allen has had to rely more on his arm, especially late in games. That’s led to Allen earning at least 253 passing yards in four consecutive games. Beyond that, he’s attempted nearly 30 passing attempts per game over the last five games.
This weekend, Allen is set to face a Steelers defense that currently ranks dead last in pass yards, pass attempts, and pass completions. Pittsburgh is also 29th in yards after catch and 27th in longest pass.
Allen should be able to spray the ball around and enjoy success against a very below-average Pittsburgh defense.
Focus On Sunday’s Football Games!
With four games on Thursday and Friday, there will be fewer games on Sunday. This will help us focus on the games on Sunday and avoid getting overwhelmed, which will be a huge advantage!
