NFL Player Props Week 7 – Sunday’s Best Prop Bets (Oct. 20)

• • The NFL is back yet again with a fantastic slate for Week 7 on Sunday, October 20th, 2024
  • My favorite way to get in on the action is by betting NFL player props
  • Getting down on Friday is a great strategy, and it’s no different for this week

Somehow, it’s already Friday, which is huge for all of us for numerous reasons. First off, the weekend is here. We just have to make it through today, which we can do because we’ve done it a million times before. Second, we’ve got so many NFL player props to sift through it’s not even funny. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready.

We’re doing the London game again this week, but unlike last week, we’re skipping this one. I’m going to sleep in and then hit the ground running with the Detroit Lions/Minnesota Vikings matchup. That game looks to be the most fun game on the slate so we have to get loose there. While that’s going on, there’s no rule saying we can’t have action in the Houston Texans/Green Bay Packers game. Lucky for us, I’ve got the perfect move in that matchup.

This could easily be the greatest Sunday of our entire lives.

Jameson Williams Is Disgusting

Betting on receiver props is my favorite way to get down. Anytime we take a guy to go over his yardage total, it could happen in one play. That’s electric. All we have to do is find a guy that’s tough to cover and that’s paired with a quarterback that is halfway decent. Feels easy.

For starters, no one on this planet can cover Jameson Williams. I checked.

The issue with taking Jameson Williams every week is the fact that the Detroit Lions’ offense is too good. There are times when they simply run away from the other team because they have so many weapons. If we don’t get Jamo early, we won’t get him. It’s a tale as old as time.

Other times, we’ll see the Lions opt to keep the ball on the ground. That sucks, too, because we need Jamo to catch the ball. Not watch other people run with it. The good news is that the Lions’ opponent this week is perfect for a Jamo splash game.

For starters, the Lions won’t be able to just run the football. The Vikings’ run defense is third-best in the NFL in terms of opponent yards per attempt. The other thing we have going for us is the Vikings’ offense is legit. They should be able to move the ball through the air on the Detroit defense. I’m thinking we have a shootout-type game here.

Either way, all roads lead to Jameson Williams getting loose on Sunday. Feels right.

• The Pick: Jameson Williams 50+ Receiving Yards (+105) – DraftKings

Tank Dell Time

The issue with Jameson Williams is, he’s too good. He’s highly likely to cash his line in the first quarter so we’ll need another receiver in a great situation. That way, when Jamo is done, we can turn to our “other guy”. It makes sense.

Lucky for us, Tank Dell is playing on Sunday.

Here’s the thing with Tank Dell. We would be betting on him every single weekend, but we can’t because there are just too many mouths to feed in Houston. I get that he has CJ Stroud throwing him balls, but when we consider the fact that Stroud is also throwing balls to Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs, it takes away from Tank.

But as with every NFL season, guys get hurt, and that’s exactly what happened to Nico Collins. The man was cruising along, destroying every defense in his path and then bam, he’s hurt. It sucks, but one man’s injury is another man’s opportunity. Circle of life.

On top of vacated targets, Dell also has the schedule working in his favor. The Texans travel to Green Bay to take on the Packers, which means baby shootout. The Packers’ offense is humming along this season, so Houston will have to hang points on the board, and the best way they can do that is through the air. Bottom line, Tank Dell is catching at least six balls Sunday. Feels right.

• The Pick: Tank Dell 6+ Receptions (+120) – FanDuel
