What are NFL Prop Bets?
For those not accustomed to prop bets (short for proposition bets), they are a form of side bet that doesn’t necessarily have any direct correlation with the result of an NFL game.
One of the most popular NFL prop bets is the regular season win totals (Over/Under) for each NFL team. For example, if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a regular-season win total set at 11.5 by your chosen online sportsbook, you would be betting on them winning at least 12 regular-season games if you back Over or you would be backing 11 or fewer regular-season wins were you to bet Under.
Other team prop bets might include the rushing yards allowed per game, passing efficiency, or the number of interceptions and turnovers.
Player regular-season prop bets are another favorite among bettors, with the MVP betting market especially so.
