NFL player props continue to grow in popularity, as they are an easy way for fantasy football players to get accustomed to sports betting.
Player prop “unders” hit 55% of the time between 2017 and 2019, and Week 6 continued the slight move toward more unders paying off after a hot start for “overs” to start the season.
The percentage of props going under has now hit 52.5% after six weeks of the 2020 season. After that hot start for the “overs,” we have seen a correction back to the downside for the majority of prop categories. At a macro level, it appears that passing attempts are down slightly based on expectation, but a higher percentage of those attempts are completed. Rushing-yards props are difficult to take on the over but can be extremely valuable unders to bet.

We are hitting the point of the season when player usage is better understood, so we are now looking for mispriced lines and situations that have moved too much to one side based on recency bias. Some of the props written may not be the most comfortable bets, but taking a loss despite leaning on a sound process is a useful skill that all sports bettors should master.
