Week 16 of the NFL slate is in the books, and it was another chaotic weekend of football that produced plenty of notable games. Luckily for NFL fans and bettors, the Week 17 card is loaded with another dose of compelling games across both conferences, including the Philadelphia Eagles vs Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears vs San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks vs Carolina Panthers, among others.

We posted a 2-1 week in this column a week ago, which brings us to 27-20 on the season. This week, our expert has three more player prop bets for the NFL action. As we dive into the Week 17 slate, it’s time to get into our best player prop bets for this Sunday’s games.

PICK #1: Jaxon Smith-Njigba (SEA) Over 6.5 Receptions (-105) Click Here to Bet

For our first pick in this week’s column, we're going with Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba to clear his receptions prop for yet another week. This has been a very successful wager over the course of this season, as Smith-Njigba has arguably been the best wide receiver in football to this point in the campaign.

The Ohio State product has recorded seven or more receptions in 11 of his 15 games played, and he should see more success against a Carolina defense that is one of the worst units in football against the pass this season. With that in mind, let’s roll with Smith-Njigba to stay hot in a pivotal game on Sunday. 

PICK #2: Trevor Lawrence (JAX) Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (-145) Click Here to Bet

For the second pick in our column this week, let’s look at Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence to throw for two or more passing touchdowns on Sunday. Lawrence struggled in the first half of the campaign, but the Clemson product is playing as well as any quarterback in football at the moment. In fact, Lawrence has thrown for 15 touchdowns over the past five weeks, and he’s tossed at least two touchdowns in each of those games.

The Jaguars have a favorable matchup on hand against the Colts on Sunday, and Lawrence should see more success through the air in a game where the Jaguars could put up plenty of points. Indy just allowed 49ers QB Brock Purdy to throw for five touchdowns on Monday Night Football, and Lawrence should easily toss two or more this Sunday.

PICK #3: James Cook (BUF) Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+100) Click Here to Bet

For our final pick in this week’s column, we will take Bills RB James Cook to find the end zone for a third consecutive game. Cook has been the model of consistency in Buffalo’s offense all season long, and he should be in for another solid showing against the Eagles in a massive matchup on Sunday.

With the Bills' passing game sputtering a bit in recent weeks, we can expect Cook to get a heavy workload on Sunday, and he’s shown that he’s had a nose for the end zone all year, with 14 total touchdowns on the season. With that in mind, let’s place this wager at plus-money odds.
