Southern squads stripped of playoff hopes collide on Sunday afternoon, as the Tennessee Titans host the New Orleans Saints at Nissan Stadium.
The Saints (5–10, 4th NFC South) appear driven to finish the season strong, winning three straight games capped by a Week 16 rout of the New York Jets. The same can be said for the Titans (3–12, 4th AFC South), who have won two of their last three after starting the season at 1–11.
Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET. New Orleans enters as a 2.5-point road favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook, while Tennessee is listed as a +110 underdog. The game’s total is set at 39.5 points.
Here are the top player prop bets for Sunday’s Week 17 matchup between the Saints and Titans.
Saints vs. Titans Best Prop Bets
Tony Pollard 16+ Rush Attempts (+109)
Tennessee running back Tony Pollard is hitting his stride as he nears the finish line. The 28-year-old veteran has handled 210 carries for 949 yards and five touchdowns this season, bolstering his season marks with a last-minute surge. Pollard has topped 100+ rushing yards in three straight games with a trio of touchdowns.
While the Saints do a solid job limiting ground scores and big rushes, they have allowed the NFL’s third-most rushing attempts this season. Pollard, who has seen as many as 25 carries during his hot streak, should garner north of 16 carries for the third time in his last four games.
Taysom Hill Anytime Touchdown (+215)
Super utility-man Taysom Hill did it all for the Saints during their Week 16 win over the Jets, rushing 12 times for 42 yards, catching four of six passes for 36 yards, and tossing a 38-yard touchdown pass. With the dazzling performance, the “Human Swiss Army Knife” became the first player in the Super Bowl era to record 1,000 career yards passing, rushing, and receiving.
With Alvin Kamara and Devin Neal still sidelined, Hill should remain New Orleans’ primary running back on Sunday afternoon. And against the Titans, who have conceded the NFL’s third-most rushing touchdowns (19), the versatile BYU product seems poised to reach the end zone for the first time since Week 6 against the New England Patriots.
Tyler Shough 220+ Pass Yards (-124)
The Saints could have a standout signal-caller in Tyler Shough. The burgeoning rookie has shown immense promise since taking the reins in Week 8, completing 66.4% of his passes for 1,792 yards, seven touchdowns, and five interceptions. He seemingly improves each time out, throwing for 270+ yards and a touchdown in back-to-back games and setting a career high with 308 yards in Week 16 against the Jets.
The Louisville product seems poised for another strong outing against the Titans, who have allowed the league’s tenth-most passing yards and the sixth-highest completion rate to opposing QBs. Count on the 26-year-old field general to keep trending upward and top 220 passing yards for the sixth time in nine starts.
