5 NFL Props to Bet on Week 13: James Cook, Garrett Wilson Best Picks in AFC East

The division-leading Buffalo Bills are favored by NFL betting lines against the visiting San Francisco 49ers. However, the New England Patriots and New York Jets are both underdogs in Week 13.

Even though the Miami Dolphins had 317 passing yards and four touchdowns through the air, somehow the explosive Tyreek Hill didn’t find his way into the end zone and that cost us the chance to have four of our five Week 12 AFC East prop picks to come through.

Let’s take a look at my 5 best NFL prop bets in the AFC East this weekend.

5 NFL Props to Bet in Week 13 in the AFC East

1. Bills RB James Cook to Score a Touchdown (-167)

Buffalo running back James Cook has been held under 50 rushing yards in two of the last three games for the Bills. However, he has been finding his way into the end zone.

Cook is coming off his third multi-touchdown game of the season in a win over reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City. Buffalo had a bye week to prepare for the matchup with a desperate San Francisco 49ers team and to get healthier as a team.

Even though the 49ers are in the top 10 in rushing defense this season, Cook is a solid Week 13 player prop bet at -167 to score a touchdown. He offers even more value at +425 to be the first touchdown scorer.

PICK: James Cook to Score 1+ Touchdowns (-167)

2. Jets WR Garrett Wilson 60+ Receiving Yards (-114)

Things have slowed down a bit for talented Jets receiver Garrett Wilson after a stretch of four 100-yard receiving games in a span of five games. However, it has been a different story in the last two games.

Wilson has hauled in nine of 14 targets but managed a total of 59 receiving yards in losses to the Arizona Cardinals and Indianapolis Colts.

The Jets had an extra week to prepare for the matchup with the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle is in the middle of the pack in passing defense. The Seahawks allowed Arizona tight end Trey McBride to catch 12 passes for 133 yards but did a better job against the outside receivers.

When making Week 13 NFL picks, we like Wilson to get back on track and go over 62.5 receiving yards.

PICK: Garrett Wilson to have 62+ Receiving Yards (-114)

3. Patriots TE Hunter Henry 43+ Receiving Yards (-115)

Hunter Henry was targeted three times or less in three of his first four games for the New England Patriots this season. Since rookie Drake Maye took over as the starting quarterback, he has been more of a factor.

With five games left, Hunter Henry is nine catches and 117 yards away from tying his career-highs in both categories.

Henry has been targeted 44 times over the last six games with 32 catches during that span.

The sports betting odds have Henry at -115 to have 43+ receiving yards and that could be a popular NFL expert pick today.

PICK: Hunter Henry to have 43+ Receiving Yards (-115)

4. Drake Maye 2+ Touchdown Passes (+167)

Touchdown passes have been hard to come for New England rookie quarterback Drake Maye with five TD tosses and five interceptions in his last five games.

The Colts are 28th in the NFL in total defense and 27th in passing defense so there could be chances for Maye to make some plays in the passing game against a defense that allowed more than 350 passing yards to Jacksonville’s Trevor Lawrence, 312 yards to Justin Fields of the Pittsburgh Steelers and nearly 300 yards to Houston’s C.J. Stroud.

When making Week 13 NFL predictions, consider the +167 odds for Maye to have 2+ touchdown passes against the Colts.

Bet This Pick: Drake Maye to have 2+ Touchdown Passes (+167)

5. Jets vs Seahawks Highest Scoring Half – Second Half (-118)

In the last three games, the Jets have scored 41 points in the second half and 13 in the first half. For Seattle, 23 of the 36 points in its last two contests took place after halftime.

That is just one of the betting trends to keep an eye on. Go with the -118 NFL betting odds for the second half to be the highest-scoring half in Week 13.

Bet This Pick: Second half to be top-scoring half in Jets vs Seahawks (-118)
