Jayden Daniels is capping off a spectacular rookie season with an unbelievable playoff run, carrying the Washington Commanders to the NFC Championship to take on the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles.
While the upcoming matchup vs an elite Eagles defense is daunting, Daniels has carried the Commanders offense and should be in line for strong production in what looks like a close game.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at Jayden Daniels prop bets for the NFC Championship.

Sportsbook Play of the Day
Jayden Daniels Passing Yards Prop
Jayden Daniels: Over 223.5 Passing Yards (-110)
Jayden Daniels averaged 209.9 passing yards per game during the season, but that’s skewed by two games where he left early. If we remove those two games, Daniels’ average jumps to 234.9 per game, which is well ahead of this 223.5 prop.
It’s also worth noting that Daniels has absolutely crushed this line throughout the playoffs so far, putting up 299 yards against the Lions and 268 vs the Bucs.
While the Eagles have a much better defense than Tampa or Detroit, ranking 3rd in Pass EPA, this is a game where Daniels will have to continue carrying his offense. That means more dropbacks and more pass attempts.
We just saw Matthew Stafford throw for 324 yards against the Eagles in the NFC Divisional Round.
It wouldn’t surprise me to see this line get past 230.5 by game time, so it’s a good idea to lock in now as one of your best NFL bets today.
Jayden Daniels Rush Attempts Prop
Jayden Daniels: Over 10.5 Rush Attempts (-120)
Jayden Daniels put up at least 11 rush attempts in only 5 of 17 regular season games this season. However, the line is this high because the Commanders are completely dependent on their stud rookie quarterback.
We’ve seen Daniels put up 16 and 13 carries during this year’s playoff run. I’m expecting more of the same in a matchup where the Commanders are six-point underdogs. We could see Washington play from behind and forced to rely on Daniels to make plays with his legs.

I would have thought that this line would be at least 11.5 considering Daniels’ usage during the postseason, so let’s capitalize by targeting Over 10.5 rush attempts.
