The Vikings try to keep their quest for the top seed in the NFC alive against the division-rival Packers on Sunday afternoon. Sam Darnold continues to be one of the most inspiring stories in the league and has worked his way to the periphery of the MVP conversation.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Minnesota is currently a 1.5-point favorite, with the game’s total set at 49 points. Below, I’ve detailed my favorite prop bet centered around Darnold for this crucial clash.
Best Sam Darnold Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Sam Darnold 3+ Passing Touchdowns (+340)
Anytime a player performs significantly over expectations, everyone waits for them to crash back down to earth. Sam Darnold started the season sizzling out of the gates. After two rough games in the middle of his campaign, many thought his run was finished. Over the last six weeks, he’s been undeniable. Darnold is spinning the rock at an All-Pro level, throwing for 15 touchdowns in that span and just one interception during that stretch.
In the earlier matchup, Darnold threw for a trio of scores and avoided a massive team collapse to hang on for the narrow victory. Green Bay is hitting its stride at the perfect time, in large part due to a defense that is seventh in EPA against the pass. The secondary has been incredibly impressive, but the Minnesota offense is a different beast.
Darnold is in the form of his life, playing for a payday and to change the narrative of his career. He’ll have the volume to surpass three touchdowns for the third time in four outings and is competing with an extra chip on his shoulder. Darnold can shine when the lights are brightest, and this line’s too juicy to ignore.
