NFL Week 14 Player Prop Bet Picks & Predictions (2022)
Dalvin Cook Over 75.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
The Vikings and Lions are projected to provide fireworks this week. The game’s total is 51.5 points, and the spread is only 2.0 points. The NFC North battle will also likely be played at a blistering pace. According to Football Outsiders, the Vikings are seventh in situation-neutral pace, and the Lions are eighth.
The game’s high-scoring and fast-paced expectations can be a treasure trove for overs, including Dalvin Cook’s over for 75.5 rushing yards. Minnesota’s bell-cow running back has a dreamy matchup. Per Football Outsiders, the Lions are 25th in rush defense DVOA. And, according to Pro-Football-Reference, running backs have averaged 99.5 rushing yards per game and gashed the Lions for 4.72 yards per carry.
In Week 3, Cook steamrolled them for 96 rushing yards on 17 carries, despite suffering a shoulder injury that prevented him from playing his standard allotment of snaps. Cook is averaging 77.3 rushing yards per game, has rushed for more than 75.5 yards eight times and has a median outcome of 81.5 rushing yards. Finally, FantasyPros projects Cook to run for 81.1 yards. As a result, betting on Cook’s over for 75.5 rushing yards is exciting.
Amon-Ra St. Brown Over 6.5 Receptions (-150)
Amon-Ra St. Brown is attached to the same uptempo and likely high-scoring game. So, he can benefit from the back-and-forth nature of the game. The matchup is also superb.
First, the Vikings are 24th in pass defense DVOA. Second, according to Football Outsiders, No. 1 wide receivers have averaged the second-most yards per game (88.2) and have tied for the fifth-most passes thrown to them per game (8.9) against the Vikings. Third, per Pro-Football-Reference, the Vikings allowed the most receptions to wide receivers this year entering Week 14.
Meanwhile, the Sun God has been amazing in nine healthy games this season. In those games, he’s had 93 targets, 71 receptions and 808 receiving yards. ARSB’s raw targets don’t tell the whole story. He had a 30.5% Target Share and was targeted on 31.8% of his routes in the nine-game sample.
Moreover, the second-year wideout had at least seven receptions in seven of the healthy nine games, averaged 7.9 receptions per game and had a median outcome of eight receptions. ARSB has also had more than 6.5 receptions in his last four games and five of his last six. FantasyPros projects him to extend his streak, projecting him for 7.3 receptions. Thus, ARSB’s over is another excellent bet.
