The 2019 regular season comes to an end Sunday and we have a Fab Four of decade-ending prop bets to make Week 17 a little more interesting from start to finish.
Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard
Julio Jones has nothing to play for other than being a professional cashing a large check. Jones has a history of big games late in the season, but his number of 98.5 receiving yards (Over: -125, Under: -112) is asking a lot. When 100 yards is the baseline in a meaningless game, the cautious approach is to take the Under and that’s what we’ll do. UNDER 98.5 (-112).
Where There’s a Wilson, There’s a Way
The Seattle Seahawks have a lot at stake in Sunday night’s game and have been forced to go to the street to find running backs. As such, it seems a little strange QB Russell Wilson’s Over/Under for passing yards is 233.5 (-118 on both sides). It seems clear that, if Seattle is going to win, Wilson will have to carry them – whether it’s throwing the Seahawks to a lead or throwing to erase a deficit. Take the OVER 233.5 (-118).

Make It a Double
The Kansas City Chiefs are facing a huge task in trying to lock down the No. 2 seed (if New England loses) and will try to dispatch of the disappointing Los Angeles Chargers in a hurry. Their two primary pass-catchers – Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce – are both listed with an Over/Under of 68.5 yards (-118 for both the Over and Under). It’s not easy to take an Over on two players, but there’s a good reason to do so in this instance. It will probably take six or seven receptions for Kelce to hit the number and two or three catches for Hill. Make it a double, Mr. Sunday bartender. OVER 68.5 (-118).
No Doubting Thomas
Michael Thomas is having the fantasy year of a lifetime. For those who don’t have Thomas on their rosters, he has topped 100 yards in eight of the last nine games and has eight or more receptions in 11 of the last 12. An Over/Under of 98.5 yards is pretty stiff (-118 on both sides), but you get the feeling he’s going to get 10 catches. Why wouldn’t you take the Over? OVER 98.5 (-118).
