The season is always full of surprises, and entering the Week 9 NFL schedule, there are plenty of them. The league’s top rusher and the reigning league MVP are out this week, while the defending AFC champions are scuffling. Three-time league MVP Aaron Rodgers will miss Green Bay’s eagerly anticipated matchup with the Chiefs after testing positive for COVID-19. Kansas City, which lost to the Buccaneers in Super Bowl LIV, is trying to move above .500, while the Buccaneers are one of four teams on byes this week. Plenty of games means a multitude of NFL player props to target.
Jordan Love, Green Bay’s first-round pick in 2020, is scheduled to replace Rodgers, and Caesars Sportsbook is favoring the young quarterback to go Over 232.5 passing yards (-120) in its latest Week 9 NFL props. There are hundreds of NFL prop bets to choose from, and there is value if you know where to look. Before you lock in any 2021 Week 9 NFL player props of your own, you need to see the top NFL picks and predictions from NFL props expert Alex Selesnick.
Over the past two seasons, Selesnick (aka PropStarz) is up 120 units on NFL props and futures plays. For a $100 bettor, that’s a return of more than $12,000. PropStarz specializes in NFL and NBA prop betting, where he implements a combination of research, statistical analysis and mathematical modeling. His background playing competitive poker, Scrabble and backgammon helped form the foundation of his sports betting approach.
Through eight weeks, PropStarz is a stellar 24-16 on his picks for SportsLine. He cashed in easily last week when he said Jets quarterback Mike White would go Over the 33.5 pass attempts (-120) Caesars Sportsbook pegged him for in his first NFL start.
PropStarz told SportsLine that we would see the Bengals “daring White to throw by stacking the box and playing press coverage.” The expert also pointed out that opposing quarterbacks were averaging 39.9 attempts against Cincinnati. The fourth-year career backup completed 37-of-45 attempts for 405 yards and three touchdowns as the Jets pulled off the 34-31 upset. White set an NFL record for most completions by a quarterback in his first NFL start, and PropStarz and anyone who followed him cashed in.
Now, after poring over hundreds of available Week 9 NFL prop bets, PropStarz has found five more picks he loves. He’s only sharing his coveted NFL prop picks at SportsLine.
Top 2021 Week 9 NFL prop picks
One Week 9 NFL prop bet PropStarz is definitely backing: Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson to go Over 73.5 receiving yards. The second-year pro had just two receptions for 21 yards on Monday Night Football against the Cowboys. Now, Minnesota faces a Baltimore defense that has been fierce against the run, allowing just 86 yards per game (fourth in NFL). That means the 2020 first-round pick should see plenty of targets.
Jefferson hadn’t seen fewer than seven passes thrown his way before being targeted four times last week. He had at least 80 receiving yards in the previous four games. PropStarz is anticipating a shootout, and Minnesota is averaging more than 39 pass attempts per game this season. “I think this prop should have been set closer to 79.5, and I’ll gladly take the discount,” he told SportsLine.
