Falcons vs Commanders Prop #1: Bijan Robinson Rushing Yards

Bijan Robinson has been fantastic in his sophomore season, rushing for 1,196 yards, which is fifth in the NFL. He’s also been on a heater, racking up at least 86 yards in eight of his last ten contests. He’s hit the 100 yard milestone on four occasions in that span and his line for this affair is set at 85.5 rushing yards.

Robinson is up against a Commanders defense that’s surrendered the fourth most yards on the ground per game (137.4). They’re also very stingy against the pass 185.5 yards, fourth best in the league, so expect Robinson to run often and meet his mark.

• Falcons vs Commanders Prop Pick: Bijan Robinson over 85.5 rushing yards (-110); risk 1 unit at DraftKings

Falcons vs Commanders Prop #2: Terry McLaurin Receiving Yards

Terry McLaurin has paced the Commanders receivers on the campaign, picking up 1,029 receiving yards, 491 more than the next closest player (Zach Ertz). His line is set at 64.5 yards in this one, a milestone that he’s gone over in seven of his last eleven outings.

Wild stat.

Jayden Daniels & Terry McLaurin (140.0) have the highest passer rating among QB-pass catcher duos in a single season since Brady-Gronkowski in 2012 (140.1), among duos with at least 75 targets, per NGS.

Historic year in DC.

Atlanta has been far worse defending the pass on the road (256.6 passing yards per game compared to 194.4 at home), which bodes well for McLaurin to hit the over on this prop. John Hyslop’s Falcons vs Commanders same-game parlay is an intriguing one to consider.

Falcons vs Commanders Touchdown Scorer Props

The Commanders’ Brian Robinson Jr. has the shortest odds to find the end zone first at +550 yet the Falcons’ Bijan Robinson has the smallest odds to record a TD at any time at -120.

Falcons vs Commanders Prop #3: Terry McLaurin Anytime Touchdown Scorer

I always like to pair up a player receiving (or rushing) prop for their yardage going over, with them also recording a touchdown. In this case, let’s go with Terry McLaurin to find pay dirt, something he’s done in four straight contests, with six total TD’s.

Not only has Atlanta been susceptible to a lot of passing yards on the road, they also entered Week 17 tied with Carolina for most passing TD’s allowed this season (28). McLaurin (12) is second to only Ja’Marr Chase (16) in receiving TD’s this year. His -105 odds to record a TD at any time is slightly longer than the top-two players on the board.

As the NFL regular season winds down, the Atlanta Falcons will face off against the Washington Commanders in a crucial Week 17 matchup on Sunday Night Football. While both teams are fighting for playoff contention, there are also plenty of player prop bets to keep an eye on for this exciting game.

One of the top player prop bets to consider for this matchup is the passing yards for Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan. Ryan has been a consistent performer for the Falcons this season, and he will be facing a Washington defense that has struggled against the pass. With a prop bet line set at around 275 passing yards, Ryan could be poised for a big game through the air.

On the other side of the ball, Washington quarterback Taylor Heinicke will also be a player to watch in terms of player prop bets. Heinicke has shown flashes of brilliance this season, but he will be facing a tough Falcons defense that has been solid against the pass. With a prop bet line set at around 250 passing yards, Heinicke will need to have a strong performance if Washington hopes to come out on top.

In terms of rushing yards, Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson will be a player to watch in this matchup. Patterson has been a dynamic playmaker for the Falcons this season, both as a runner and a receiver out of the backfield. With a prop bet line set at around 75 rushing yards, Patterson could be in line for a big game against a Washington defense that has struggled against the run.

For Washington, running back Antonio Gibson will also be a player to keep an eye on in terms of player prop bets. Gibson has been a workhorse for Washington this season, and he will be facing a Falcons defense that has been vulnerable against the run. With a prop bet line set at around 60 rushing yards, Gibson could be in line for a solid performance on the ground.

Overall, there are plenty of player prop bets to consider for the Falcons vs Commanders matchup on Sunday Night Football in Week 17. Whether it’s passing yards for Matt Ryan, rushing yards for Cordarrelle Patterson, or any number of other player prop bets, this game is sure to be an exciting one for fans and bettors alike.
