Jared Goff Player Prop Bet

The Detroit Lions have locked up the NFC North. However, their seeding hasn’t been finalized. While they can’t pass the San Francisco 49ers for the top seed, they can either finish as the No. 2 or No. 3 seed. The former outcome would guarantee them a home game in the second round, but it would require losses by both Philadelphia and Dallas.

The silver lining for bettors is that Detroit won’t know anything about the outcome of Dallas’ or Philadelphia’s games. The Lions will play at 1 p.m. ET; the Cowboys and Eagles will play at 4:25 p.m. ET. Head coach Dan Campbell has already said he plans to play the starters, so we can trust Jared Goff to get a full workload on Sunday.

The Minnesota Vikings can still make the playoffs, but it’s very unlikely. The New York Times reports their odds to be around 3%, as they need several of the 8-8 NFC teams to finish the year at 8-9.

OddsShopper’s model recommends trusting Detroit quarterback Jared Goff on the player prop markets. Goff clocks in at odds of -113 to go over 208.5 passing yards at FanDuel. You’ll find him priced at -136 to go over the 211.5 at Pinnacle, a sharp book. Our tools estimate the true odds — or a breakeven price — of this wager to be -125, which means a bettor with a $1,000 bankroll is getting enough value to wager $23.
