3 Raiders vs Saints Player Prop Picks
1. Raiders TE Brock Bowers Over 6½ Receptions (+106)
The Raiders knew they got a solid offensive weapon in rookie tight end Brock Bowers when they took him with the 13th pick in the 2024 Draft, but they might not have known he’d be one of their few offensive stars this season. Bowers comes into Sunday’s contest with 101 receptions, tied for second most in the league this season.
Bowers has been steady all season, though his targets have varied as the Raiders’ quarterback situation has been up and down with multiple starters at the position. However, with Aidan O’Connell back last week, Bowers returned to being the threat he should be, making 11 catches on 13 targets for 99 yards.
For those looking at NFL futures odds, Bowers is +150 to surpass 116.5 receptions for his rookie season and -200 to go under that total.

O’Connell was hurt against Tampa Bay three games ago, with Desmond Ridder taking over as the signal caller. Against the Buccaneers and in Ridder’s start two weeks ago against Atlanta, Bowers had a total of 11 targets, the only two games that he’s had fewer than 10 targets since early November.
O’Connell knows what he has in Bowers and will be looking for him early and often this week, giving the rookie plenty of chances to go over 6½ receptions in this one. This should be another big game for Bowers, giving you one of the more solid NFL player props to bet on.
Bet On Brock Bowers Over 6½ Receptions (+102)
2. Saints DE Chase Young Over 0.5 Sacks (+165)
We’re going to take a bit of a chance with this one as New Orleans defensive end Chase Young has just 5½ sacks on the season. But we like his chances to come up with one this week against an offensive line that, per Raiders vs Saints stats, has allowed 49 sacks this season, the fifth-most in the league.
Young did have two of his sacks two games ago against the Washington Commanders and has recorded at least half a sack in four of the last eight games.
Look for O’Connell to be under pressure from the Saints as they try to keep him from picking apart their secondary, with Young being a big part of that. Take a chance and include Young over ½ sack among your NFL bets.

3. Raiders RB Ameer Abdullah Anytime TD Scorer (+280)
As good as Bowers has been as a receiver, he hasn’t been the one scoring touchdowns for the Raiders, finding the end zone just four times this season.
The hot touchdown scorer for Las Vegas – if there is such a thing this season – has been running back Ameer Abdullah, who is a threat as a runner and a pass catcher. Abdullah has three touchdowns in the last five games, including two on receptions.
In fact, Abdullah’s success has been mostly catching the ball. He had five receptions last week and seven two weeks ago against Atlanta, including a touchdown. He’s getting a few carries as well, including seven for 38 yards and a score last week.
Abdullah’s versatility gives us reason to believe he’s going to find the end zone again this week, so we’re making him our touchdown scorer pick among our NFL predictions for this contest.
Bet on Ameer Abdullah Anytime TD Scorer (+280)
