Terry McLaurin is coming off yet another 1,000+ yard season, helping the Washington Commanders surprisingly get to the NFC Championship for an NFC East battle against the Philadelphia Eagles.
We’ve seen the Eagles defense give McLaurin some trouble this season, but with the way Jayden Daniels is playing right now, that may not matter too much in this game.
So without further ado, let’s take a look at Terry McLaurin prop bets for the NFC Championship.

Terry McLaurin Receptions Prop
Terry McLaurin: Under 5.5 Receptions (-145)
While I like McLaurin to make a big play or two, I’m skeptical that he can rack up six or more receptions against a stout Eagles defense.
As mentioned above, McLaurin runs most of his routes downfield (13.3 aDOT), which means that his targets are often less catchable than if he was looked at closer to the line of scrimmage.

We’ve also seen the Eagles shut down McLaurin once before this season (1 REC, 10 YDS), so it wouldn’t shock me to see the veteran have a bit of a down game.
This is a number that McLaurin has gone Under in eight of his last 12 games.
