Best Props for Eagles vs Packers: Goedert, Kraft & McManus

• Tucker Kraft is a good bet to go over his receiving yards prop based on his recent production and a possible increased role following Christian Watson’s injury.
• With strong usage and a history of big games in the playoffs, the over on the 36.5 receiving yards prop for Dallas Goedert is a good prop to consider.
• The Brandon McManus points prop at online betting sites is set at 6.5. He’s gone over that in six of his last seven games and Matt LaFleur has historically heavily utilized kickers in the playoffs.

PHILADELPHIA – The best player props for the Philadelphia Eagles vs Green Bay Packers matchup are not on star players like Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, Jordan Love or AJ Brown. Instead, bettors should look at props for Tucker Kraft, Dallas Goedert and Brandon McManus.

Bet on Tucker Kraft Receiving Yards

Tucker Kraft’s receiving yards prop at NFL betting sites is set at 34.5 yards. Two reasons stand out as to why he will likely have more than 34.5 yards and payout off bets with -115 odds:

• Recent Play: Tucker Kraft has had more than 34.5 receiving yards in five of his last six games. In the lone game he didn’t have more than 34.5 yards, he had 34. There are very few trends around the NFL that are stronger than this one for Wild Card Weekend.
• Christian Watson Injury: Christian Watson was third on the Packers in receiving yards this year, but he went down with a torn ACL in Week 18. His absence may mean more opportunities than normal for Packers pass catchers, including Tucker Kraft.

Bet on Dallas Goedert Receiving Yards

The receiving yards prop for Dallas Goedert has been set at 36.5 with -120 odds on the over at legal sports betting sites.

Goedert’s history of big games in the playoffs and the Packers’ weakness versus tight ends this season makes him a good bet to have more than 36.5 yards.

The Eagles have made Goedert a focal point in the playoffs ever since his second year in the NFL. Goedert has played in six playoff games since then and has put up some stats that indicate the over for his player prop is a good bet:

• He’s had more than 36.5 yards in four of those six playoff games.
• Goedert has at least five targets in all six playoff games, which shows that he’s consistently involved in the offense.

Another reason to bet on Dallas Goedert is because the Packers have given up 57.1 receiving yards to tight ends this season. That is the eighth most per game in the NFL this season.

Bet on Brandon McManus Points

Bovada has set the total points prop for Brandon McManus at 6.5 points under the “D/ST Props” category.

McManus has gone over 6.5 total points in six of his last seven games, which is a very strong trend to suggest that he will do so again this week.

It’s also important to note that Packers Head Coach Matt LaFleur has not been shy about kicking the ball in the playoffs during his tenure.

His kickers have gone over 6.5 total points in three of the past five playoff games that he’s coached. In one of the games they went under, the kicker (Anders Carlson) had seven extra point attempts but missed one.

Brandon McManus has not missed an extra point this season, so that should not be a problem.

That accuracy, put his recent trends and LaFleur’s history of using kickers in the playoffs, make the over on the 6.5-point line for Brandon McManus one of the best player props for Eagles vs Packers.
