Have you ever wanted to bet on more than just the winner or loser of an NFL game? Look no further than NFL prop bets. Prop bets (or propositions) allow bettors to wager on the myriad events occurring within a game. Prop bets spanning everything from the winner of the Superbowl’s coin toss to how many yards a QB throws in a given game.
What are prop bets in the NFL?
Prop bets in the NFL allow you to wager on events within an NFL game. Prop bets span individual player performance and various statistics (team or player related). Some sportsbooks offer props on outlandish in-game events not directly linked to on-field play, such as the color of Gatorade used in the customary post-Super Bowl celebration.

Bad weeks happen.
It’s inevitable… and it was my fate last week as I went an unsightly 1-5 with my NFL player props.
Guy goes down with an injury in the first quarter? Check. Losing on a half-yard hook (when they needed just one over the final three quarters)? Yup, that happened. Picking a dude that just stunk it up? When it rains it monsoons.
Thankfully, the Week 9 odds board provides a fresh slate, a chance at redemption, and a way to make some NFL picks that can get me back into Gamblor’s good graces.
I started things off by banking on the NFL odds for three offensive stars (well, two stars and a quarterback) because, well, why not get back to basics, but I’m finishing off my favorite NFL props for Week 9 with a little bit of creativity &mda…
The San Francisco 49ers were one of the best teams all season long and after surviving a scare in the Divisional Round, enter the NFC Championship game as -7.5 point home favorites over the visiting Detroit Lions.
Can Brock Purdy continue to prove the doubters wrong? Or will the Detroit Lions pull off the upset which would send them to their first Super Bowl?
While there are a number of different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch this game… did you know that you can also live stream Lions/49ers directly from legal sports betting sites?

It’s been a funny start to the season for NFL underdogs.
The big betting headline is the success of sizable pups, with underdogs of +5.5 or higher going 13-1-1 against the spread.
What’s even more shocking is that those 15 teams are a combined 10-5 SU, earning more than +21 units for anyone ballsy enough to back those moneylines.
As for the smaller dogs, there hasn’t been much bark. Underdogs of less than a field goal (+2.5 to +0.5) are just 5-8 SU and ATS, covering at under 39% entering Week 4.
Plenty of points don’t always make the best underdog bets, however.
Last season, dogs of +5.5 or higher finished with a 49.5% cover rate, and going back over the past 10 years, those teams drawing piles of …
When Callum O’Hare stepped up his rehabilitation from a serious knee injury last August, Coventry’s physios recognised the need to temper his enthusiasm. After eight monotonous months, he was inevitably excited to tie the laces on his boots and hit the grass. He felt “fresh out of the jailhouse” after countless days spent watching teammates train from an exercise bike in the gym, but was told to expect a fine if he began kicking balls too soon upon his return.
“The staff know how much I love football,” he says. “If there’s a ball in front of me, I’ll always play with it, no matter what it is: a tennis ball, a little floater – anything. Or I’ll make socks into a ball. They were like: ‘You’re not quite at the stage to…
FIFA president Sepp Blatter on Friday said he was confident that South Africa would be able to meet its commitments associated with staging the 2010 World Cup.
Be confident in Africa and in Africans I know they are capable of doing that which they are called to do, Blatter said on a visit to Belgrade.

Alvaro Morata went from hero to zero at Wembley after rescuing extra time for Spain before missing a penalty in the shoot-out as Italy booked their place in the Euro 2020 final.
The Juventus loanee was left out of Spain s starting line-up for the first time this tournament but made an impact from the bench by cancelling out Federico Chiesa s superb curled opener 10 minutes from time as the game finished 1-1 after 90 minutes.
Neither side could find a way through in the additional period in what was a repeat of the 2012 final, which Spain won 4-0 for their third European title, though it was Italy who prevailed in Tuesday s enthralling clash.
Morata s penalty was saved by Gianluigi Donnarumma, paving the way for Jorginho to convert the winning spot-kick in a 4-2 s…
Italy defeated England 4-2 on penalties to book a semi-final against Germany at Euro 2012 following a 0-0 draw after extra-time on Sunday.
The last quarter-final of the tournament ended in stalemate at the Olympic Stadium, Kiev, despite Italy dominating throughout.
England led the shootout 2-1 when Riccardo Montolivo missed his spot-kick, but Ashley Young and Ashley Cole then both failed to score, with Alessandro Diamanti netting the winner for Italy.

Leonardo Bonucci has continued to rub salt into the wounds of England after Italy s success in the Euro 2020 final, saying Declan Rice played a part in motivating the tournament winners.
West Ham midfielder Rice said ahead of the final in July that England would be 10 times more ready than their opponents for the Wembley showpiece.
Those words, and the repetitive playing of England s Three Lions song after the country s semi-final win over Denmark, fuelled Bonucci and his team-mates, who ultimately won the competition on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
We didn t pay much attention to it [the Three Lions song] until the Spain game, Bonucci, who ridiculed England s It s Coming Home catchphrase on the pitch after Italy s win, said in an interview with The Athletic.…
