Let’s dive into the best NFL touchdown and player prop bets today. Best of luck if you tail!

3 Top Prop Bets for the NFC West in NFL Week 15

1. Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. Anytime TD (+140)

Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is finally getting a consistent target share and his workload continues to ramp up.

Harrison Jr. has had an underwhelming rookie season, but things are beginning to heat up for the superstar receiver as the schedule for the rest of the season favors a breakout. This week, the Cardinals will host New England, who have allowed the highest rate of touchdown passes since Week 6.

He scored in three of the last six games. The rookie and Kyler Murray have had plenty of time to build a rapport, and two weeks ago, coach Jonathan Gannon told the media they needed to get the ball in his hands more. As a result, he has 20 targets combined over the last two games behind only tight end Trey McBride (26 targets). The Cardinals have the fifth-highest implied team total so I expect Marv to show up and find paydirt for the eighth time this season, making him a great value NFL touchdown prop pick for Sunday.

2. Cardinals QB Kyler Murray Over 25½ Rushing Yards

My second NFL online bet will also be in the form of a wager on the Cardinals. Quarterback Kyler Murray is due for a massive game, and the Patriots’ defense provides an elite chance for that this Sunday. New England runs the third-most man coverage, opening the door for Kyler to use his legs.

Kyler isn’t scrambling much this season, but he will have opportunities to do so in Week 15. New England hasn’t been run on a ton by quarterbacks. Still, they haven’t faced many who have wheels like Murray—the last time we saw the Pats, they played Anthony Richardson, a dual-threat quarterback. Richardson finished with nine rushes for 48 yards and a touchdown against them. The high rate of man coverage will lead to their defenders turning their backs to the quarterback. We need Kyler to identify this a few times, and we will cash this over.

A healthy Kyler is a dangerous weapon. Bet online on his total rushing yards to go over.

3. Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf Anytime TD (+170)

It has been the Jaxon Smith-Njigba show since Metcalf injured his knee against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7. DK has taken a back seat, failing to score a touchdown in his first four games since the injury and missing two games after the knee injury. Opposing defenses have recently keyed in on slowing down Metcalf but Seattle will likely need him to produce in the receiving game to keep pace with the visiting Packers.

Green Bay has struggled against bigger wide receivers. Last week, the world watched Tim Patrick score twice on this secondary. Before that, Tyreek Hill, also an X receiver, scored. The Packers rank dead last in defensive dropback success rate and their secondary is facing plenty of injuries. The fact Metcalf has been on a scoring drought also makes this a good opportunity for Geno Smith to pepper him in the red zone. Metcalf has not gone five consecutive games without a score since 2021.

Why not Sunday night? Fire on Metcalf in the last of our free NFL expert picks.
