The NFC Championship Game is set for next Sunday at 3 p.m. ET after the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles both pulled of exciting victories in the Divisional Round. DraftKings Sportsbook already has player props in place for the contest, so let’s take a look at a few that jump out at their opening odds.

Throughout the week, make sure to check out the DK Network betting splits table and the most popular player props to see how the public is getting into the action for Conference Championship weekend.


Touchdown scorers

After his monster Divisional Card performance, Saquon Barkley has the shortest odds to score an anytime touchdown in this contest at -185. He had two touchdowns against the Rams and also had two touchdowns in each of his two games against the Commanders during the regular season. In this rematch, Barkley is +300 to have 2+ touchdowns.

Just behind Barkley for anytime touchdown scorers are his teammates Jalen Hurts at -115 and A.J. Brown at +115.

For the Commanders, Terry McLaurin has the shortest odds to find the end zone at +115, while Brian Robinson Jr. is +160 and Jayden Daniels checks in at +190.

If you’re looking for a longshot, the tight ends are both interesting plays with Dallas Goedert at +230 and Zach Ertz at +240. Jeremy McNichols scored in the Commanders’ win against the Lions, and he is +1100 to find the end zone for a second straight week.


QB Props

Both quarterbacks have been excellent leading their team to the conference championships, and the passing props are up on the board.

Jayden Daniels is -130 to throw for 225+ passing yards and +100 to throw for multiple touchdowns. Aside from the regular season finale when he played limited time, he has thrown for over 225 yards in five straight games and has multiple touchdown passes in seven straight.

Jalen Hurts is -125 to throw for 200+ passing yards and +150 to throw multiple touchdowns.

Both quarterbacks are prolific rushers as well, and their rushing props are set high as a result. Daniels is -135 to total 50+ rushing yards, and Hurts is +105 to finish with 40+ rushing yards.


RB Props

Barkley averaged 125.3 rushing yards per game in the regular season and posted 146 and 150 rushing yards in his two games against the Commanders. For this matchup, his odds are set at -105 to rush for 130+ yards and +195 to rush for 150+ yards. He is also +100 to total 150+ rushing and receiving yards.

On the other side, Robinson is +100 to rush for 40+ yards after averaging 57.1 rushing yards per game on the season. Against the Lions last week, Robinson ran for 77 yards. Against the Eagles, he ran for 63 yards in their first matchup but only 24 yards in the rematch.


WR Props

Each team has a go-to receiver, and both WR No. 1’s have similar props. Brown and McLaurin are both -105 to have 70+ receiving yards while Brown is +270 to have 100+ receiving yards and McLaurin is +295 to have 100+ receiving yards.

The Eagles’ second receiver is DeVonta Smith, who is +110 to produce 60+ receiving yards and +250 for 80+ receiving yards. Dyami Brown has emerged as the Commanders’ second receiver the last few weeks with 89 yards against the Bucs and 98 yards against the Lions. This week he is +110 to get to 50+ receiving yards and +400 to get to 80+ receiving yards for a third straight week.


Player Specials

There are three Trending Specials that are part of the opening player prop odds for the NFC Championship game. The first is “NFC Beasts” which has either Daniels or Hurts to have 3+ pass TDs at +225. Daniels did that three times this season, all in his last six games including his five touchdowns against the Eagles. Hurts has not thrown for 3+ touchdowns in any game this season.

The second special is “Smooth Operator” which highlights Daniels to have 125+ pass yards in each half.

The third player special is called “All Barkley, No Bite,” which is Barkley to have 225+ Rushing Yards. That kind of monster game is a longshot which comes at +2000.
