Seahawks QB Russell Wilson UNDER 253.5 passing yards (-130)

Wilson, in two games vs. the Rams during the regular season, passed for 248 yards in a loss and 225 yards in a win. The Rams had the league’s No. 1 pass defense, giving up fewer than 191 net passing yards per game.

Seahawks RB Chris Carson OVER 59.5 rushing yards (-115)

Carson did not play against the Rams in the two teams’ first matchup. He rushed for 69 yards against the Rams in Week 16. Between Weeks 13-16, Carson had no fewer than 12 carries and no less than 63 yards. Carson’s success was part of the Seahawks getting back on track.

Rams RB Cam Akers UNDER 66.5 rushing yards (-115)

Akers only played against the Seahawks in the Rams’ win in November, gaining only 38 yards on 10 attempts. He missed the game in Week 16 with a high ankle sprain. He had only 34 yards on 21 carries in Week 17. He is healthy but not 100% still and the Seahawks had the league’s No. 5 rush defense. Whether it is QB John Wolford or QB Jared Goff starting, the focus will be to stop Akers and force the quarterbacks to make plays.

Rams TE Tyler Higbee OVER 2.5 receptions (-140)

Higbee had three catches in each of the two matchups between the two teams this season. He also had at least three catches in his final three games, in four of his last five and six of the final eight games.

Rams WR Cooper Kupp OVER 4.5 receptions (-165)

Kupp had five or more receptions in both meetings against the Seahawks. he had at least five catches in 12 different games this season, including his last four games and eight of his final nine.

Prop Bet Payday: Indianapolis Colts at Buffalo Bills prop bets to bank on

Highlighting five NFL Wild Card prop bets to make as the Colts take on the Bills in the AFC Wild Card round Saturday.

The Buffalo Bills (13-3) are gearing up to host the Indianapolis Colts (11-5) Saturday afternoon at 1:05 p.m. ET to kick off the 2020 NFL playoffs.

Below, we focus on NFL Colts vs. Bills prop bets to consider for their AFC Wild Card Weekend matchup from the BetMGM game menu.

5 Colts-Bills prop bets to make in NFL Wild Card Weekend

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 10 p.m. ET.

Bills QB Josh Allen OVER 25.5 yards rushing -155

Allen is one of the toughest quarterbacks in the NFL to get on the ground, consistently making plays with his legs. Typically, he uses his mobility to extend plays and make big throws downfield, but he also takes off plenty.

He rushed for at least 28 yards in half of his games this season, so he has a good chance to top 26 yards Saturday against the Colts. It could take just one long run for him to eclipse this total. Bank on the OVER.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor OVER 77.5 yards rushing -105

Taylor has been on a tear as of late, rushing for an average of 123.5 yards per game in his last six games. What could prevent him from topping 77 yards rushing is the scoreboard.

If the Bills jump out to a big lead, it could cause the Colts to become more pass-happy and abandon the run. But if this one stays close, Taylor will get a heavy dose of carries. Look for him to get just enough action to hit at least that benchmark. Bank on the Over.

Stefon Diggs to score TD and Bills to win +100

Diggs has been a stud this season, scoring eight touchdowns in 16 games played. While three of those came against the Patriots in Week 16, he’s scored at a consistent clip this year and he and Allen are clearly on the same page.

Pairing a Diggs touchdown with a Bills win feels like a good value at +100 because this is a game Buffalo should absolutely win.

Colts QB Philip Rivers OVER 36.5 passing attempts -110

This should be a high-scoring game and assuming the Colts are playing from behind, Rivers should be throwing a lot of passes. I like him to have over 36.5 pass attempts; he has 10 games with at least 33 attempts, including six with at least 36. The game script should lead to a high volume of throws by Rivers. Bet the Over.

Bills to score OVER 14.5 points in 1st half +100

The Bills rank second in the NFL with an average of 16.6 points scored in the first half per game. Buffalo is averaging 47.3 points per game in their last three games, so the offense is really hitting its stride right now.

A hot start should put the Bills over 14 points in the first half, scoring on three possessions before halftime. Bet the Over.
