With the Philadelphia Eagles facing the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday afternoon, Washington’s bid to win the NFC East could be out of reach before it takes the field on Sunday night. However, a win would punch a ticket into the playoffs.

Meanwhile, Atlanta owns the tiebreaker over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC South race, but there is little margin for error, making this one of the more compelling Week 17 games.

The NFL betting lines have Washington favored by 3½ points. The game landed over in each of the last three times that Washington has been listed as a home favorite. That could be good news for those looking at the Falcons vs Commanders player prop options.

Let’s break down some props to consider when making NFL predictions in what could be a high-scoring affair.

3 Falcons vs Commanders Prop Picks to Bet

1. Commanders QB Jayden Daniels 50+ Rushing Yards (-112)

Not only did Daniels throw for a career-high five touchdowns in a 36-33 win over NFC East rival Philadelphia last week, he had his third game during his rookie season with more than 80 rushing yards.

There are plenty of player prop options to consider for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year front-runner. Daniels is priced at +140 to score a touchdown and has +108 odds to have 231+ passing yards.

When making your NFL player props today, go with Daniels at -112 to have 50+ rushing yards.

2. Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. 201+ Passing Yards (-113)

Penix wasn’t asked to do much in last week’s win over the cellar-dwelling New York Giants in his first NFL start. He was 18-of-27 for 202 yards with no touchdowns and an interception, with his longest completed pass being just 22 yards.

He came into the game with five pass attempts. There could be a longer leash for Penix in the matchup with the Commanders. Keep that in mind when making NFL picks for this game.

It won’t be easy as, looking at the Falcons vs Commanders stats, Washington is fourth in the NFL in pass defense. Young quarterbacks Caleb Williams of the Chicago Bears and Spencer Rattler of the New Orleans Saints completed less than half of their passes when facing the Commanders.

Even with those numbers, take a long look at the -113 odds for Penix to have 201+ passing yards.

3. Commanders WR Olamide Zaccheaus 4+ Receptions (+117)

With receiver Dyami Brown among the Washington players ruled out for the Sunday Night Football matchup, that could open the door for former Falcons receiver Olamide Zaccheaus to come through.

With 35 catches and 370 yards this season, Zaccheaus could be flying a bit under the radar, but he was targeted a season-high eight times in the win over the Eagles.

Go with the +117 odds for Zaccheaus to have 4+ receptions when you’re doing your online sports betting on this contest.
