We’ve got a heavyweight AFC East clash on Sunday. The Buffalo Bills travel to face the New England Patriots in a game that may ultimately decide the division winner. Get ready for a game full of bad blood and perhaps a fair bit of snow. That makes the player prop market a whole lot spicier.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Buffalo is a -125 favorite on the moneyline, with the game’s total set at O/U 48.5 points. The spread favors the Bills by 1.5 points. If you’re keen on an upset, the Patriots are priced at +105 on the moneyline. Below, I’ll go over my favorite player prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Sunday’s NFL Week 15 matchup between the Bills and Patriots.
Bills vs. Patriots Best Prop Bets
TreVeyon Henderson 60+ Rushing Yards (+203)
It’s still unclear who holds the RB1 job in this Patriots backfield. Both Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson have had their moments this season, and with the playoffs approaching, it’s anyone’s guess as to who takes the reins here.
One thing is for sure: there’s room for both to eat against this Bills defense. They’re 28th in total rushing yards allowed and 29th in rushing yards allowed per attempt. Even if Henderson is behind Stevenson in total carries, he’s more than capable of breaking off a big run or two and clearing this total.
James Cook 90+ Rushing Yards (+109)
How about doubling down on running back success? Buffalo may have one of the worst run defenses in the league, but they do have the best rushing attack. James Cook has spearheaded a Bills run game that leads the league in total rushing yards and yards per carry.
New England boasts one of the best run defenses in the league; try telling them that they overpaid Milton Williams now. But cracks are showing in the past few weeks. They’ve allowed 100+ yards rushing in four straight games; before that, they had allowed 100+ only twice in nine games. That does not bode well for a matchup with the James Cook-Josh Allen rushing tandem.
