NFL Prop Bet Payday – Week 12

Analyzing key Week 12 NFL prop bets that seem poised for a pay-day, featuring props around Odell Beckham Jr., Christian McCaffrey and Russell Wilson.

Sometimes when you make prop bets, you want to get things done in a hurry — for better or worse. With that in mind, this week’s three prop picks are all about who will be the first player to find the end zone in a trio of early games on the Week 12 slate.

Who will score the first touchdown? The big money can be made by going after a Dolphins player, since they’re all more than +1000, but our money is on Cleveland getting off to a fast start. While Nick Chubb (+330) and Jarvis Landry (+600) are tempting because they’ve been scoring consistently in recent games, our bet is a big early play from a frustrated Odell Beckham Jr. (+500) to get on the board early.

Bet the money and run (CMC)

The Saints are prohibitive favorites at home and are expected to roll up points. But when are you ever going to get a scoring machine like Christian McCaffrey at +550 to score the first touchdown of the game? The Saints will score touchdowns throughout the game by Run CMC strikes first and brings better than a 5-to-1 return on investment.

The spread is pretty even among the usual suspects as to who will score the first touchdown of the game between both teams, so you have to go with your gut. We can envision a scenario where the Seahawks march down the field and face a critical third-and-goal play that Russell Wilson (+1200) escapes the pass rush and runs into the end zone for the first score of the game. Take Wilson and run with him.

Typically prop bets focus on yardage totals for a game. This week, we’re getting in and out quickly and having our bets decided within a half hour or so of kickoff from the early games and then getting on with the rest of our day.
