NFL Week 17 prop party: Will Eagles' D limit Josh Allen?
Thanks to a three-game Christmas Day slate and two Saturday games, there's not as much going on Sunday. But we still have a five-pack of props. Let's dive in.

π Bet: Under 74.5 rushing yards
Ever since Taylor rushed for 244 yards in a November game, making it look like he could reach 2,000 on the season, his production has steadily declined. He's rushed for under 75 yards in three of his last five games, and he's only averaged 4 yards per carry once during that stretch. Now the Colts are facing the Jaguars, who allow the fewest rushing yards per game.
π Bet: Under 13.5 rushing attempts
Dowdle is typically a featured part of the Panthers' offense, but the Seahawks allow the third-fewest rushing yards per game. Carolina must try to move the ball through the air against Seattle's average passing defense. The Bucs have a similarly strong rushing defense, and the Panthers only gifted Dowdle nine carries in their win last week.
π Bet: Over 219.5 passing yards
Nobody's paying attention to the Saints, and understandably so, but they might have their quarterback of the future. Shough's sturdy arm has impressed the few people tuning into Saints games. He's thrown for at least 220 yards in five of his last six outings. Shough should put on another show against the Titans' struggling passing defense.
π Bet: Over 47.5 rushing yards
Carter has earned more carries in the last two games and is making the most of them. He rushed for 56 and 65 yards in those games and reached at least 4 yards per carry in four of his last five. Now he gets his easiest matchup of the season against the Bengals' putrid defense, which allows the most rushing yards per game in the league. Frankly, a high school running back could run wild against this Cincinnati squad.
π Bet: Under 195.5 passing yards
The Eagles own the NFL's seventh-best passing defense and haven't allowed a quarterback to pass for 196 or more yards in over a month. Philadelphia's exceptional pass-rush relentlessly attacks quarterbacks, and the team also has reliable coverage in the secondary. Sure, the Eagles have issues, but their defense isn't the problem. Allen hasn't reached 193 passing yards in three of his last four games. He's in for a long day in Buffalo.
