NFL Player Props
Injuries are starting to become an epidemic around the NFL, which means that we are going to get some interesting opportunities in the player props market. Guys who don’t normally see the field much or contribute largely on special teams will now have the chance to catch passes and run the football. Guys who usually play the Robin to a top-of-the-depth-chart Batman are also getting more of the spotlight. A lot of Week 8 NFL player prop bet possibilities are coming as a result.
Last week, I used Mother Nature to my advantage with Jerry Jeudy Under 3.5 Receptions and Longest FG Under 50.5 Yards between the Saints and Bears. We don’t have those types of weather games this week, but you should always keep an eye on what the conditions will look like, especially at this time of year.
We also have a new and exciting tool here at VSiN, as OptaAI NFL Player Prop Projections are now available. Consult them before locking in your prop wagers this weekend. I did while putting together this week’s article and we also now have NBA Player Prop projections from Opta AI as well.
And don’t forget that our friends at Fantasy Points have some excellent tools for not only fantasy football lineup decisions, but also NFL player prop betting. Use the promo code VSIN2025 to get a discount on their Data Suite, a collection of proprietary tools and models.

Here are some Player Props NFL Week 8:
Cam Skattebo (NYG) Over 20.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
I’m expecting the rematch between the Giants and Eagles to go a lot different than the first game went. The Giants won that game 34-17, as Philly just didn’t seem prepared, invested, or maybe simply underestimated New York. I don’t see that happening again.
Skattebo has gone over this number in each of the Giants’ last three losses, racking up 61, 45, and 34 receiving yards, respectively, in the losses to the Chiefs, Saints, and Broncos. The 34-yard output against Denver even came in a game where the Giants led for basically all of it. In those losing efforts, he’s had 21 total targets and 15 receptions.
This is one where the game state really comes into play for me. I think the Giants will be trailing early and often, as I like the Eagles against the spread.
The Opta AI projection agrees, with Skattebo at 24.06 receiving yards.
Chuba Hubbard (CAR) Under 41.5 Rushing Yards (-110)
Hubbard came back after missing a couple of weeks and had 14 carries for just 31 yards. Head coach Dave Canales spoke about how both guys have earned the right to play and how hungry Hubbard was to come back to action. Well, Hubbard has 3.7 yards per carry and Rico Dowdle has 5.6. He had 17 carries for 79 yards last week in the win over the Jets.
First of all, I don’t know that 31 rush attempts between the two will be in the cards here against the Bills. Second, Dowdle has simply been way better than Hubbard, even though Hubbard did have the higher snap share last week. Andy Dalton’s pass attempts prop line is 32.5, a number that Bryce Young has only gone over twice this season in Weeks 1 and 2. I think the Panthers will be forced to throw more here and I think Canales may even trust Dalton more.
Once again, Opta AI agrees with Hubbard down for 36.23 rushing yards.
John Parker Romo (ATL) Under 2.5 PAT Made (+113)
The Falcons certainly appear to have a great matchup for their offense this week against the Dolphins. But, this is a Falcons bunch that has converted just 8/18 red zone trips into touchdowns. They’re only averaging three red zone visits per game. And the Dolphins, for all of their issues, have held opponents to just a 51.6% (16/31) TD% inside the 20.
The Falcons are only averaging 1.75 points per drive. Miami will bend and bend and bend, but they haven’t broken all that often so far, as they’ve buckled down in the scoring areas. Atlanta has managed to only score on 34.9% of their possessions despite only having six turnovers in six games. This just isn’t an efficient offense. There’s also some hope, I guess, that Miami shows up here after getting embarrassed last week in a rainy, windy atmosphere that they had no interest being in. They get to play indoors here, so maybe they’ll actually show some fight.
