NFC rivals on opposite trajectories will cross paths Sunday afternoon, as the Minnesota Vikings host the Seattle Seahawks at U.S. Bank Stadium.
The Seahawks (8–3, 2nd NFC West) have won five of their last six, aiming to build on a road victory over the Tennessee Titans. The Vikings (4–7, 4th NFC North), meanwhile, have dropped five of six, riding a three-game losing streak capped by a road loss to the Green Bay Packers.
Kickoff is set for 4:05 p.m. ET. The Seahawks enter as heavy 11.5-point road favorites on DraftKings Sportsbook, while the Vikings are listed as +525 underdogs. The game’s total is set at 41.5 points.
Here are the top player prop bets for Sunday’s Week 13 matchup between the Seahawks and Vikings.
Seahawks vs. Vikings Best Prop Bets
Jaxon Smith-Njigba 100+ Receiving Yards (-119)
Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been one of the NFL’s most reliable receivers this season, turning the third-most receptions into a league-leading 1,313 yards — the most by nearly 200 yards.
The former Ohio State standout has surpassed 100 receiving yards in eight of 11 games this season, entering Sunday’s contest on the heels of his best performance yet. Against the Titans in Week 12, he corralled eight of 10 passes for a season-high 167 yards and two touchdowns.
While the Vikings boast one of the top defensive backfields in the league, Smith-Njigba has shown that he can still tear up strong secondaries. Look no further than Week 7, when the third-year wideout caught eight of 14 targets for 123 yards against the Houston Texans — who have allowed the third-fewest passing yards in the sport.
Zach Charbonnet Anytime Touchdown (+105)
Zach Charbonnet doesn’t stuff the stat sheet with lofty yard totals, but he knows how to find the end zone. The third-year running back has logged seven rushing touchdowns this season, tied for the ninth-most in the NFL. Last week, Charbonnet logged a season-low six carries and still managed to pass the goal line for the fourth score in his last five games.
He seems poised to do it again against a Vikings defense that ranks 21st in rushing yards and 15th in ground scores allowed. While Minnesota has yet to allow a rush farther than 32 yards, Charbonnet doesn’t need much room to do damage. All seven of his touchdowns have come from inside the 20, leading the team in red-zone scores.
Justin Jefferson Under 58.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
It’s been a disappointing season for Justin Jefferson, but his stats have quite literally been out of his hands. The LSU product has caught 60-of-99 passes for just 795 yards and two touchdowns — largely stymied by inconsistent quarterback play.
Jefferson has surpassed 58.5 receiving yards only once in his past four games, and he seems ill-positioned to top the threshold on Sunday. With J.J. McCarthy sidelined with a concussion, the Vikings will start undrafted rookie Max Brosmer under center. The 24-year-old QB has thrown just eight passes in his NFL career, and it feels unlikely that he’ll be the one to turn around Jefferson’s season.
