Free NFL Team Prop Picks For Championship Weekend

Championship weekend is here and while many are looking to figure out the sides and total, some of the better value is in player props. We’ll take a look at some prop bets that could present some value.

Free NFC Championship Picks
Green Bay at Seattle @ 3:05 pm EST
Game Line: Seattle -7.5 (-105) Total: 47

Total TD Passes – Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay)
Free NFC Championship Pick: Over 2.5 (+140)
Call me crazy, but I like Green Bay’s chances on Sunday. The question you have to ask yourself, how hurt is Rodgers? Let’s just forget about the first game of the season, this is a different Green Bay team and their offensive line is playing at an extremely high level. I think there is some value here, and Rodgers throwing more than 3 touchdowns with all the weapons he has is not out of the question.

Will James Starks (Green Bay) score a TD in the game?
Free NFC Championship Pick: Yes +575
A lot of value here as you have a backup running back that shows up in big games. I do think Starks can be a factor, especially as I think Green Bay will limit Eddie Lacy in the first half to save him for the second half. Starks is also a great receiving back, and is pretty versatile. This is some great value here.

Will Eddie Lacy (Green Bay) record 150 or more rushing yards?
Free NFC Championship Pick: Yes +2000
A long shot yes, but you might think Eddie Lacy is a little banged up, but he didn’t take a lot of hit last weekend. Does Seattle have a great defense? Without a doubt…but if there’s any running back that can match the physicality of the Seahawks’ defense, it’s Lacy. Tremendous value!

Russell Wilson (Seattle) – Total TD Passes
0: +300, 1: +175, 2: +220
Ok, there’s a variety of picks here, all positive EV wagers. I do believe Russell Wilson will throw a touchdown pass; it’s just a matter of how many. But each wager is showing some value.

Will Russell Wilson (Seattle) score a rushing TD in the Game?
Free NFC Championship Prop Pick: Yes – +250
Again, another wager with a ton of value. Wilson has 6 rushing touchdowns this season, and there’s no question that he’ll be a threat to take one to the house on Sunday.


Free AFC Championship Prop Picks

Indianapolis at New England @ 6:40 pm EST
Game Line: New England -7 (-105) Total: 54

Andrew Luck (Indianapolis) – Total Rushing yards
Free AFC Championship Picks: Over 17.5 yards (-125)
Yeah there’s some juice here, but I like this play. Luck is very athletic, and can extend the play…New England has an outstanding secondary, and I think there will be more than a few times where Luck will get loose and run for some extra yards. I think this is a real solid wager.

Will Andrew Luck (Indianapolis) score a rushing touchdown in the game?
AFC Championship Prop Pick: Yes +300
Again, this goes back to my last prop, I think there’s some value here…and I think it’s worth a look as Luck can get to the end zone using his legs.

Will Reggie Wayne (Indianapolis) score a TD in the game?
AFC Championship Prop Pick: 
Yes +250
Is it me or does it seem that Reggie Wayne seem like the forgotten guy in Indianapolis? Wayne has a ton of big game experience, and with so much focus on T.Y. Hilton and newcomer Donte Moncrief, Wayne could definitely get open for a score here. Should Indy find themselves down early, I think the chances of Wayne finding the end zone are pretty good.

Will Brandon LaFell (New England) score a touchdown in the game?
AFC Championship Prop Pick: Yes +140
Well, seeing with what happened last weekend, Brandon LaFell certainly isn’t afraid to come up in big spots. LaFell caught the game winning touchdown, and has become one of Tom Brady’s favorite targets. Solid value here.

Total Tackles and assists Jamie Collins (New England)
AFC Championship Prop Pick: 
Over 8.5 -105
Collins is a force, and in last years playoff game against Indianapolis he was a factor. Collins has the speed and is great in coverage. I expect the young linebacker to be very active in Sunday’s game.

Free 2013-14 NFL Playoff Picks For The Listed Prop Bets Odds Below

Free NFL Team Prop Picks For The Divisional Playoff Weekend

Team Prop Picks (Posted Prior To 1/11/2014 Divisional Playoff Games)

Will a wild card team team WIN the Super Bowl?
Free Team Prop Bet Picks: YES +200

Will a wild card team team PLAY IN the Super Bowl?
Free Team Prop Bet Picks: YES +110

This prop looks There are currently 3 wildcard teams left in the playoffs and one of them is favored to get to the Conference Championship. The San Francisco 49ers are one of the hottest teams and are poised to get back to the Super Bowl. The Chargers have caught lightning in a bottle and look to be one of those teams that could make an improbable run.  The Saints are a well-coached team that is playing with a huge chip on their shoulder.

Free NFL Playoff Prop Picks For Saturday, January 11, 2014

Saints vs Seahawks (-8, 46.5) – 4:35pm ET on FOX:

Drew Brees – Total Passing Yards
Prop Bet Free Pick: Under 265.5 (-115)
I believe there is some value in this one, as it looks like the Saints are running the ball pretty well. Running the ball and sustaining drives can take the crowd out of the game, and that’s one thing the Saints will need to do to be successful.

Marshawn Lynch – Total Rushing Yards
Prop Bet Free Pick: Under 85.5 (+105)
The Saints held Philadelphia to 80 yards rushing last Saturday. The Eagles had the best rushing attack in all of the NFL last year. The Saints defense is much underrated and they are coming in with a big chip on their shoulder.

Colts vs Patriots (-7, 51) – 8:00pm ET on CBS:

Tom Brady – Total Passing yards
Free Prop Pick –  Under 270.5 (-105)
The Patriots behind LeGarrette Blount and Stevan Ridley have become a run first team behind a dominant offensive line. Brady will get his yards, but I think the running game will be a major factor in some adverse weather conditions.

T.Y. Hilton – Total Receptions
Free Prop Pick – Under 5.5 (+120)
Bill Belichick has a history of taking the biggest threat of an opposing offense out of the game. This New England defense held Jimmy Graham of the Saints without a reception.

Free NFL Playoff Prop Bet Picks For Sunday, January 12, 2014

49ers (-1, 41) vs Panthers – 1:00pm ET on FOX

Colin Kaepernick – Total Rushing yards
Prop Bet Free Pick:  Over 39.5 (-125)
With all of his pass-catching weapons, Kaepernick has at his disposal this time around, I believe it will create a lot more opportunities to take off. It wouldn’t surprise me to see him break off two or three runs of 15-20 yards.

Cam Newton – Total Passing Yards
Prop Bet Free Pick: Under 219.5 (+105)
With the emergence of Keenan Allen and the addition of Danny Woodhead, Antonio Gates’ role has somewhat diminished this season. I still think he’s one of the best offensive weapons on San Diego’s roster. It might be a little too good to be true, but I think Gates could manage to get over this number.

Chargers vs Broncos (-9, 54.5) – 4:30pm ET on CBS

Philip Rivers – Total Passing yards
Prop Bet Free Pick – Under 270.5 (-115)
The Chargers are a ball control offense, and that has definitely been the case in their two previous meetings against Denver. I would expect the Chargers to try to control the clock and have success running the ball.

Peyton Manning – Total Passing Yards
Prop Bet Free Pick – Under 325.5 (-105)
If the Chargers control the clock like they have in the two previous games, I don’t see Manning getting above 300 yards. San Diego’s defense is also playing at a very high level.

The MLB All-Star Game is always chock full of tremendous MLB props to sink your teeth into, and this year is no exception. Check out the listing of all of the All-Star Game props below and some of our MLB picks for tonight’s clash!

First Team to Strikeout – Simply put, we just don’t see Roy Halladay pitching the first inning without getting at least one strikeout. Sure, the righty probably isn’t going to be putting everything into this one as he would in a regular season game, but with almost as many strikeouts as innings pitched this year, Halladay is hard to bet against. Take a look at that AL lineup as well. Curtis Granderson and Asdrubal Cabrera have over 150 strikeouts between them this year, and they’re both K’s waiting to happen. All Star Game Prop Pick – American League -200

Will There Be a Blown Save – The relievers this season in the All-Star Game just don’t seem to be as strong as they were in seasons past. We also have to remember that we are basically just betting on a lead change at some point from the 5th inning on to qualify as a blown save. Inevitably, the team that is trailing after five innings is going to end up posting a comeback at some point, and though that team might not ultimately win, we do have confidence that this one will become at least a tie game at some point in the latter frames. This is a generous price on the All-Star Game odds. All Star Game Prop Pick – Yes +120

Will Anyone Get 3 or More Hits – This is absolutely a sucker prop that the books are hoping that you bet yes on to have something to root for. Last year, there were only three players in the game that were able to even get three at bats, let alone have three hits. The likelihood of any player nowadays coming up with three or more hits in a game is highly unlikely unless we end up in a situation where we have position players coming in to pitch in the 14th inning of a game that both managers just want to have end. There’s just no way that we see it happening inside of a game that lasts even a dozen innings, as there just won’t be that many players that get the opportunity in all likelihood to see the plate that many times.

(2010 NCAA Tournament Printable Brackets; PDFGIF) The field of 65 has been set as the NCAA Tournament is about set to begin on Thursday! Here at Bankroll Sports, we’re going to take a look at some of the tournament-long props that you can invest in at BetUS Sportsbook. (100% Deposit Bonus by clicking This Link)

We’ll have a look at your March Madness prop sheet on a daily basis in this tournament, as we analyze the best ways to boost your bankrolls for the rest of the three-week spectacle.

Prop Bet #1 – Total Number of Games Won by the Pac-10 – Over/Under 1.5: Boy, doesn’t it feel like a slam dunk that a conference that normally has a ton of entrants in it is going to find a way to win two measly games out of 64? Not this year. Both Washington and Cal were subjected to three games in as many nights in the Pac-10 Tournament, and both must be on incredibly tired legs. The Golden Bears really don’t have a great chance at grabbing more than one victory, as they have to deal with Duke in the second round of the tournament if they can beat Louisville, a team that many think can do some real damage in the dance. The only other option for the Pac-10 is its conference champion, Washington. U-Dub was a fringe bubble team at best before winning the conference, and now it’s being asked to beat a Marquette team which may be the most underrated squad in the entire country. If by chance the Huskies survive as the #11 seed in the South, they’ll have to play Baylor, largely considered one of the most talented teams in the nation. Seeing one of these two teams get a win seems like a reasonable option, but two is a bit far-fetched and zero is much more reasonable. Even if the two do split in Round 1, neither one is likely to be a favorite in the second round, so laying -150 chalk is a good option for a prop that may be a winner by the end of the day on Friday.

Selection: Pac-10 Under 1.5 Wins (-150) at BetUS Sportsbook. (100% Deposit Bonus by clicking This Link)

Prop Bet #2 – Will a #14, #15, or #16 seed win a game?: The odds in this one look to be stacked a bit against you from the get-go, but let’s take a closer look at this virtual 12-team play or fade parlay. Since the expansion of the tournament to 64 teams in 1985, there have only been four #2 seeds out of 100 that have been defeated. Fifteen of the 100 #14s advanced to round two (and for what it’s worth, two of those made it to the Sweet 16). History will tell you that, if all things are considered equal, there are 19 times in 25 tournaments, or once every 1.3 tournaments that this happens. So, everyone is going to promptly jump on the “no” in this prop at even money and think that they’re getting a steal, and then complain when some unlikely #15 seed blows up their bet. Don’t be fooled! The #14s this season are all very, very dangerous clubs, and for our money, we think the #3s are especially weak. The odds say that someone big is going down at some point early in this tournament. Bank on the madness that is March to claim a huge scalp on one of the first two days.

Selection: Yes (-130) at BetUS Sportsbook. (100% Deposit Bonus by clicking This Link)

Prop Bet #3 – Total Games Won by Atlantic 10 Teams – Over/Under 2.5 Wins: There’s a reason that the A-10 is favored in all three of its first round games this year. The Temple Owls, Richmond Spiders, and Xavier Musketeers not only have first round winning abilities, but in the event that even two of them get upset in Round 1, any of the three can also roll to the Elite 8 and make this prop a winner for you the hard way as well. Temple is especially dangerous in a very defensive mini-bracket in Jacksonville, and if it can survive a first round date with Cornell, we like this team’s chances of making it to the Sweet 16. That would leave either a victory for the Spiders against a St. Mary’s team that might not have been in the NCAA Tournament without the WCC crown, or one for Xavier over what has to be a very, very tired Minnesota team which played four games in as many nights at Conseco Fieldhouse last week.

Selection: A-10 Over 2.5 Wins (-140) at BetUS Sportsbook. (100% Deposit Bonus by clicking This Link.)

2009-10 Super Bowl Prop Odds List & Prop Betting Advice

Every year, with the Super Bowl, comes the never ending betting that is involved. Along with the Indianapolis Colts being just under a touchdown favorite and the total going up from 56.5, sportsbooks are always listing an astronomical number of proposition odds and betting options. Listed below you will find an array of proposition odds from a combination of our top sponsor sportsbooks.

Some General Advice For Betting Props;
Do not be afraid to take the unders when betting on Super Bowl propositions. Generally with Super Bowl prop bets, the under is the sharper and wiser play. Most public bettors will take overs with the vast majority of their prop bets. The reason for this is due to one single human emotion; excitement. Many bettors are betting props just to add some additional excitement to the big game. That being said, it’s much more exciting to root for a milestone (such as passing yards or touchdown passes) to happen then it is to cheer for something to “not happen”. The average fan and sports bettor doesn’t want to root for Drew Breese and Peyton Manning to NOT throw touchdown passes. There is nobody that is more aware of this then the oddsmakers are, which is why Vegas sportsbooks make more money from Super Bowl proposition bets then they do from sides and totals on the big game. So, take my advice here and plan your attack with a contrarian point of view. Sift through the prop odds at your favorite books and look for inflated numbers that are above an individual players (or team’s) per game average. Then, keep an eye on the number for those prop odds at a few books, such as BetUS and Diamond Sportsbook, throughout the week and wait and see if the public will drive the those high numbers up even higher. Then, bet the under on those props a few hours before kick-off. Finally, as you watch the game, silently root for the opposite of what all your friends are cheering for. Chances are that you will be cashing your tickets and MAKING MONEY, while they will be wondering why they even made those ridiculous bets in the first place.

Super Bowl Betting Bonuses From Top Sponsors;

Free NFL Prop Bet #1 – Will the Detroit Lions win a game before their bye week?

Yes: +120
No: -160

Detroit Lions winless season last year has drawn attention from nearly every bookmaker with odds on their first victory. The Lions bye week on Week 7 after they have played: the Saints, Vikings, Redskins, Bears, Steelers, and Packers. Those first 6 games are not exactly the type of opponent to end a winless streak against. However, the odds are inviting to take a chance the Lions will score a victory in that time period. Matthew Stafford has been named the starting quarterback so the Lions will put the overall number 1 pick to the test right away. Excluding Matt Ryan from this conversation, normally it takes young quarterbacks time to develop or at least later in the year. Not only is this Jim Schwartz first year at head coach, but this is a whole different team than in 2008. Sure, they are still under talented but the effort level will change rest assured. Still, the first few games look very difficult with only Washington as maybe being the only vulnerable target. The Lions youngsters they have brought in to change the culture will need a few weeks to get the ball rolling and we expect that to happen after the break. After all, coming back from the bye week the Lions will take on Seattle, St. Louis, Cleveland, and Cincinnati over the next 6 games. We expect the Lions to get off to a slow start which should be expected, but the schedule towards the end of the year could really rack up some wins and surprise teams if they start playing well.

Free Football Pick – No -160

Free NFL Prop Bet #2 – Super Bowl XLIV Early Line

AFC: -3 points (-115)
NFC: +3 points (-115)

Sure we may not now what the future holds since nearly every football season has its ups and downs along with surprises. However, we can forecast some of the likely scenarios that could take place in 2009. Judging by all the team’s talent levels and in-depth reviews, the AFC will be one wild animal to bring down this season. In the AFC we have: the return of Tom Brady and the Patriots offense, the defending Super Bowl Champions, and possibly even more contenders in Baltimore and Indianapolis. Add to the fact that the NFC could likely see a down year in talent (Giants, Cowboys, Cardinals, Panthers) and the odds are very achievable for the AFC to conquer their 6th Lombardi Trophy in the past 7 years. The Steelers will return the best defense in the NFL and New England appears to be again the most dangerous offense in the league. Not to mention the Colts won 9 straight games to end the regular season, and also the Ravens could surprise and there are too many weapons on the AFC to pass up this betting opportunity.

Free Football Pick – AFC – 3points
– NFL Specials

Free NFL Prop Bet #3

Steelers, Falcons, Eagles, and Vikings all win: +425
Steelers, Dolphins, Jets, and Colts all win: +1200
Steelers/Colts both win 1st half, and Broncos win: +300

If you like parlay type betting action this may be prop bet of your preference. All of these bets are seemingly long shots, but make up for it with their profitable odds. After taking some time to review these options, only one seems to have a legitimate chance to actually hit. Notice you see the Steelers in all these bets. Do not let that alarm you because they should not have much trouble with the Titans considering Tennessee should not be near as good as they were last year. However, we really like the first bet with the Falcons, Eagles, and Vikings all winning. Minnesota will play the helpless Cleveland Browns in what has to be near a guarantee. If the Vikings can beat the Browns, how do they expect to challenge in the NFC North? On the other hand, the Vikings could actually be one of the better teams in the NFC now that they will have some consistency with Farve behind center and the team will ride on the legs of Adrian Peterson. Expect the Vikings to roll. The Falcons get Miami at home in the Georgia Dome and enter year 2 of the Matt Ryan era. Atlanta will be 4 point favorites against the Dolphins led by QB Chad Pennington. If Matt Ryan can just continue to accomplish what he did in year 1 the Falcons should be fine and we could only imagine what is in store for Atlanta if he improves. This should be a good game, but Atlanta may have the edge. In the final match-up in this bet, Philadelphia travels to Carolina. The Panthers were among the best in the NFC at 12-4 last year, but with QB Jake Delhomme collapse in the playoffs thrown up red flags. The Panthers must have Delhomme play well to contend. However, they will likely get the best defense in the NFC and an offense that is getting more dangerous by the day. Ever since McNabb was benched last season, the offense has been impressive. Add Michael Vick to the venue and it seems like there may be too many weapons for the Panthers defense who already took a step back last year.

2009 Free College Football Opening Night Prop Bets

September 1st, 2009 by Travis Edwards (Bankroll Sports Contributor) | Posted in College Football   Comments Off on 2009 Free College Football Opening Night Prop Bets

The 2009 College Football Season kicks off Thursday night with 9 different games that will take the spotlight as college football enthusiast tune in to the opening night of football. South Carolina travels to North Carolina State in the opening premier match-up which will be followed by a battle between top 25 teams No. 16 Oregon at No. 14 Boise State. There will be plenty of action throughout opening night and surely bettors will be eager to get an opportunity to make some quick cash and get things off to a good start to their seasons. Of course, most will be betting on the game totals and over/unders. However, we take a look at some interesting prop bets from BetUS Sportsbook (100% football bonus using this link) & Sportsbook.com (50% football bonus using this link) for the first night of football and break down unique ways to cash in and earn some money while watching these games.

Free Prop Bet Pick #1 – South Carolina Gamecocks at North Carolina State Wolfpack 

Double Result Odds:
South Carolina/South Carolina +250
South Carolina/Tie +2000
South Carolina/North Carolina State +500
Tie/South Carolina +2000
Tie/Tie +8000
Tie/North Carolina State +2000
North Carolina State/South Carolina +600
North Carolina State/Tie +1800
North Carolina State/North Carolina State -200

The “double result” bet is perhaps one of the simplest exciting bets with the opportunity to really make some money. If you are not familiar with this type of bet, you are basically predicting initially the winner of the first half and then the winner of the 2nd half. There are 9 different scenarios that can play out and all of them usually have profitable odds. North Carolina State will enter the game as 4 point favorites due to a strong offense behind the young talented quarterback of Russell Wilson. However, we tend to warn that Wilson and company may not have an easy task of overcoming the South Carolina defense. The Gamecocks secondary ranked 2nd in the country last season holding teams to just 159 yards per game through the air. South Carolina may have lost a large portion of that secondary, but they have a history of producing a strong secondary and have put plenty of cornerbacks in the NFL over the past few years. The Gamecocks defense will also be very solid up front and should get a lot of pressure making it difficult for the Wolfpack offense. The big question will be if the South Carolina offense can deliver. The quarterbacks had plenty of trouble last year throwing more interceptions than any team in college football (27). Stephen Garcia will be the man behind center this year and he has a lot of upside if he can be accurate. Even with 4 interceptions in the first half last year, the Gamecocks routed the Wolfpack in a 34-0 blowout on opening night. The Wolfpack should have no trouble getting on the board this year, but that is not to say they will have tons of success. The Gamecocks defense should get the job done again and it could be similar scenario despite what the media may be predicting.

Free Prop Bet Pick #2– Oregon Ducks at Boise State Broncos

Who will score first?
Oregon -105
Boise State -115

This particular game will highlight two very talented offense in what could very well turnout to be a high scoring shootout. The Ducks offense ranked 7th nationally in 2008 gaining 484 yards per contest while the Broncos ranked 18th racking up 440 yards per game. The over/under total is listed at a lofty 64.5 points a game so touchdowns are to be expected. However, who will score first? Well that could be simple if we first knew who would get the ball first? Well that may be a stretch, but both offenses should get the better of the defense. However, we all know how offenses some time take some rhythm before they spark early in the year especially in the opening match-up. Last year, it took Oregon until the end of the season before the offense became alive. Even if they are to come out ready this Thursday night they will play a solid Boise State defense that ranked 20th overall in 2008. The Broncos on the other hand will go against one of the worse pass defenses from 2008. Oregon ranked an extremely disappointing 111th last season against the pass allowing 270 yards per game. Add to the fact that the Broncos have only lost two games on their home field in the last ten years and there is plenty reason to think they will be the first to ignite on offense. Oregon will give them a run for their money, but they will likely make a late charge.

Free Football Pick – Boise State -115

Free Prop Bet Pick #3 – Utah State Aggies at Utah Utes

First Quarter Betting Line:
Utah State +4.5
Utah -4.5

The Utah Utes became college football’s version of a Cinderella story last year after an undefeated season that was captivated by a heroic and convincing victory over Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. Utah will enter opening night as the number 19 team in the nation when they travel to take on inner state foe Utah State. Utah had an impressive offense in 2009, but despite popular perception it was the defense that made the difference. The Utes will return 8 of those starters that contributed to the nations 11 best defensive unit. Utah State on the other hand returns one of the worse defenses in the land. The Aggies barely ranked inside the top 100 allowing 412 yards per game. The Aggies will have a solid quarterback in Diondre Borel, but it may be a difficult task overthrowing the Utes tough defensive front. The Utes should be able to control the Aggies fairly easy and that is a big reason they are 20 point favorites. America’s new favorite team should control this game from start to finish and the defense should keep the team from getting behind even if they are to come out flat. Points should be easy to come by and the Utes will led by two scores at the end of the first quarter.

Free Football Pick – Utah -4.5
