The Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs has just four games on the schedule. However, there are tons of great players to target for prop bets.
Since we typically expect the best players to rise to the occasion, here are the best NFL Divisional Round props for every position.
All NFL odds used for these Divisional Round player props are current as of Thursday, Jan. 15, and courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.
Best NFL Divisional Round Player Props
Best QB Prop: Bo Nix: Over 23.5 Rushing Yards (-111) vs Bills
It might be cheating to pick a rushing prop as my favorite quarterback prop, but this is one of my favorite NFL Divisional Round prop bets.
Nix hasn’t run a ton this season, but he’s gained over 40 rushing yards in back-to-back games, knowing that Denver needed to win to secure the top-overall seed.

In the playoffs, Nix will be more inclined to run, especially against a Buffalo defense that gave up the fifth-most rushing yards by opposing quarterbacks during the regular season.
Plus, 23.5 rushing yards feels like a low total for an athletic quarterback like Nix, who ran for 43 yards in last year’s playoff game against the Bills.
Best RB Prop: Rhamondre Stevenson: Over 38.5 Rushing Yards (-109) vs Texans
The Houston defense is about as tough as it gets when it comes to stopping the run. That being said, 38.5 rushing yards is such a low target for Stevenson that it’s hard not to bet on a back who’s had at least 40 rushing yards in six straight games.
During that time, Stevenson has taken away carries from TreVeyon Henderson, and he actually had more carries than Henderson last week.
I expect the Patriots to run the ball as much as possible to protect Drake Maye from Houston’s pass rush, which should give Stevenson enough carries to reach 40 yards.
Back the Patriots’ running back with your NFL pick of the day.
Best WR Prop: Courtland Sutton: Longest Reception Under 22.5 Yards (-110) vs Bills
While Sutton is Denver’s best wide receiver, the Bills will surely keep a close eye on him so that he doesn’t beat them.
The Bills have also been one of the best teams in the NFL this season at preventing big plays. They allow just 6.2 yards per pass and conceded the fourth-fewest pass plays of 20 yards or more.
Also, if the Broncos take deep shots, they typically target speedsters like Marvin Mims or Troy Franklin, saving Sutton for shorter routes, which is why he’s unlikely to have a catch that goes for more than 22 yards in this game.
Best TE Prop: Colby Parkinson: Over 2.5 Receptions (+105) @ Bears
Despite having just two catches last week, Matthew Stafford should have plenty of confidence in throwing the ball to Parkinson this week.
The two were not on the same page early in the season, but in his last 12 games, Parkinson has caught at least three passes eight times. That’s a strong track record for a bet with plus-money odds.
With the Bears giving up 5.5 receptions per game to opposing tight ends, Parkinson should be an active part of the Los Angeles offense in this matchup.

Best Plus-Money Prop: Puka Nacua: 10+ Receptions (+248) @ Bears
Nacua was my plus-money target last weekend, and even though that bet didn’t win, I’m sticking with him in the Divisional Round.
After his 10-catch performance last week, Nacua has caught at least 10 passes in three of his last four games.

This week, he’ll face one of the worst pass defenses in the league.
I’m not sure the Bears will have an answer for Nacua, which will allow Matthew Stafford to throw the ball his way as often as he wants, making another 10-catch game a distinct possibility.
