Football is finally back, and it’s time to dive into our favorite NFL Week 1 props from every game!
And not just back, but back in absolutely ridiculous fashion with 16 games spread across four days that are going to have us glued to our screens from Thursday night through Monday.
Week 1 is always wild, but this slate feels particularly bonkers. We’ve got the defending Super Bowl champ Eagles hosting a Cowboys team that just traded away Micah Parsons (still processing that one, honestly).
We’ve got Chiefs-Chargers in Brazil on Friday night – because apparently regular football wasn’t exotic enough.
And we’ve got a Sunday slate that includes everything from rookie quarterbacks making their debuts to heavyweight AFC matchups that could preview January football.

Dallas Cowboys @ Philadelphia Eagles
Play: Dak Prescott Higher Than 246.5 Passing Yards – The Cowboys went out and added George Pickens, who led the NFL in yards per reception in 2023, giving Dak a legitimate deep threat alongside CeeDee Lamb.
Kansas City Chiefs @ Los Angeles Chargers
Play: Will Dissly Higher Than 17.5 Receiving Yards – The Chiefs allowed a league-high 70.1 receiving yards per game to tight ends in 2024.
Miami Dolphins @ Indianapolis Colts
Play: Malik Washington Higher Than 17.5 Receiving Yards – Has established himself as a bonafide No. 3 receiver in offense. Looked great with the ball, trending heading into his second season against a bad Indy defense.
Pittsburgh Steelers @ New York Jets
Play: Garrett Wilson Higher Than 54.5 Receiving Yards – It might not be pretty, but Wilson is the true playmaker of this offense. Justin Fields peppered D.J. Moore a few seasons ago in a similar environment, and we’d expect Wilson to also garner a huge first-read rate.
Carolina Panthers @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Play: Tetairoa McMillan Higher Than 66.5 Receiving Yards – It might seem like a hefty number for a rookie, but it’s warranted. Adam Thielen is gone, Jalen Coker is injured, and McMillan is the focal point of the Panthers’ offense. Incoming big season.
New York Giants @ Washington Commanders
Play: Austin Ekeler Higher Than 21.5 Receiving Yards – Expanded role without Brian Robinson, among 2024 RB league leaders in YPC last season.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Atlanta Falcons
Play: Emeka Egbuka Higher Than 58.5 Receiving Yards: There’s obviously no 2024 data for the rookie, but every report out of camp has been superb.
Cincinnati Bengals @ Cleveland Browns
Coming soon!
Las Vegas Raiders @ New England Patriots
Coming soon!
San Francisco 49ers @ Seattle Seahawks
Coming soon!
Tennessee Titans @ Denver Broncos
Coming soon!
Arizona Cardinals @ New Orleans Saints
Coming soon!
Detroit Lions @ Green Bay Packers
Play: Josh Jacobs Higher Than 71.5 Rushing Yards – This is a guy who forced more than 50 missed tackles last season and gained nearly 60% of his yards after contact.
Houston Texans @ Los Angeles Rams
Play: C.J. Stroud Higher Than 233.5 Passing Yards – The Texans’ new offensive coordinator spent last season as the Rams’ passing game coordinator, which means he should have a good pulse on how LA’s defense operates. Houston brought in Christian Kirk, Jayden Higgins, and Jaylin Noel.
Baltimore Ravens @ Buffalo Bills
Play: Derrick Henry Higher Than 83.5 Rushing Yards – Henry forced over 60 missed tackles last season and gained 44% of his yards after contact.
Minnesota Vikings @ Chicago Bears
Play: J.J. McCarthy Higher Than 0.5 Interceptions Thrown – Just envision some growing pains, as much as the hype seems real. Jefferson’s health in question, Addison suspended, Thielen with just a couple of days of rapport with the young QB.
