The Lions aim to get one step closer to the franchise’s first Super Bowl when they square off with the Commanders in the NFC Divisional Round. Jahmyr Gibbs ended the regular season as a touchdown machine and aims to carry over that scoring consistency into the playoffs.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Detroit is currently an 8.5-point favorite, with the game’s total set at 55.5 points. Below, I’ve detailed my favorite prop bets centered around Gibbs in this pivotal contest.
Best Jahmyr Gibbs Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Jahmyr Gibbs 15+ Rush Attempts
For the past few weeks, with David Montgomery sidelined, Jahmyr Gibbs has monopolized the Detroit backfield. Although the duo is unquestionably the best running-back tandem in football, Gibbs is the far more explosive option, and he proved he could handle an uptick in workload.
For much of the season, Montgomery started the game with the goal of wearing out opposing front sevens. Gibbs would then come in, and his speed on the perimeter would destroy a fatigued unit. In the last few weeks, Ben Johnson saw firsthand that giving the extra carries to Gibbs simply increases the offense’s big-play potential.
Gibbs will likely remain as the featured rusher as they ease Montgomery back into the lineup. Even when Washington stacked the box last week against Tampa and Bucky Irving, they struggled to contain the rookie for much of that game. They won’t be able to have so many defenders near the line in this contest against a team that lives off-play action. Factor in the Lions are more than a touchdown favorite; the game script favors Gibbs to continue to have a prominent role and pound the rock.
Jahmyr Gibbs Anytime TD Scorer
How can I leave this off? Gibbs has found the end zone in five straight weeks, including four times in his most recent showing against Minnesota. Whether it’s on the ground or through the air, Gibbs finds a way to cross the goal line. In what should be a high-scoring affair, the 22-year-old will find a way to put six on the board.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, parlaying these two plays is +120 odds.
