NFL Week 8 Player Prop Best Bets & Odds
All odds provided by Sports Interaction.
Bijan Robinson, RB, ATL - Over 88.5 Rushing Yards (-110) vs. MIA
We know, we know. We basically made this bet last week and it cost us a perfect player prop card. But we believe Miami really is that bad. Quinshon Judkins had 25 carries last week, and the Falcons are likely to employ a similarly high volume of looks for Bijan Robinson. He has had two 100-yard rushing games and two 100-yard receiving games this season.
Going against Miami at home means the Falcons are going to run the ball, however. They have the worst run defense in the league overall allowing just under 160 rushing yards per game, and they also allow the most rushing yards a game to RBs at just under 130. The Dolphins run defense played decent last week, but after they were whooped by none other than the Browns, we’re expecting a little less belief from that front line in Week 8.
Jonathan Taylor, RB, IND - Over 99.5 Rushing Yards (-110) vs. TEN
If it wasn’t for the QB-skewed voting these days, Jonathan Taylor would be the front-runner for MVP this year. He is averaging 99.6 yards a game, and he leads the league in rushing yards (697) and rushing TDs (10) and sits second in attempts (31). And he plays for a team that is 6-1. He’s been such a TD machine that betting sites have his anytime TD prop listed at odds shorter than -400 this week.
Taylor has reached 100 yards in three of his last six games, but what’s more interesting is his recent history against the Titans. When Mike Vrabel was there, Tennessee would put the clamps on Taylor. However, in his two games against them since Vrabel’s departure after the 2023 campaign, Taylor has gone for 218 (last year) and 102 (Week 3 this season). Tennessee is giving up 113.6 rushing yards a game to RBs, fourth-most in the NFL.
Mason Taylor, TE, NYJ - Over 39.5 Receiving Yards (-110) @ CIN
This one’s a little bit up in the air. But if Mason Taylor and Tyrod Taylor both suit up and start for the Jets on Sunday, we love the rookie tight end’s over prop. The 2025 second-round pick had a couple of big games a few weeks ago against the Dolphins and Cowboys, but he’s been quiet the last few weeks.
The improved passing of Tyrod should give Mason the boost he needs to get back to those flashes he was showing in late September/early October. Cincinnati’s inability to stop tight ends should help him out too, as they are allowing an NFL-high 76.6 yards a game to TEs. Pat Freiermuth had 111 against them last Thursday and Sam LaPorta had 92 two weeks before that. If both Taylors play, hammer this over.
Alvin Kamara, RB, NO - Over 19.5 Receiving Yards (-110) vs. TB
We whiffed on a receiving prop for Alvin Kamara earlier this year, but we think we’ve found the perfect matchup this time. The Buccaneers are one of the best teams in the league, but one of their small weaknesses is picking up backs running patterns out of the backfield. They’re allowing a whopping 61.6 receiving yards a game to RBs, nearly 10 yards more than any other defense.
Kamara has also topped this number in two of the last three weeks. And he’s not the only one. We hit on Jahmyr Gibbs against the Bucs last week, as he went for 82 yards through the air. The week before, CMC had 57 yards against TB, a couple of weeks before that Saquon Barkley went for 31, the week before that Breece Hall had 31, and the week before that both Nick Chubb and Woody Marks hit the over on their respective receiving yards props against Tampa. Let’s keep the ball rolling here.
