Rams vs. Packers: The best player prop bets for Week 12

Sunday’s matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and the Green Bay Packers could go a long way in determining playoff seeding, and that’s part of what makes this game so appealing.

Both clubs are trying to get back into the win column here; the Rams started off 7-1 before losing handily to the Tennessee Titans and San Francisco 49ers ahead of their bye week, while the Packers have dropped two of their last three overall.

Let’s dive into the player prop markets and determine the three sides that bettors should be keying on.

Los Angeles Rams (7-3) at Green Bay Packers (8-3), 4:25 p.m. ET, FOX

Aaron Rodgers Over/Under 260.5 passing yards

Any notion that Aaron Rodgers will have a rough day at Lambeau Field on Sunday due to his fractured toe should be dispelled. He played on that dinged digit in Week 11 and carved up the Minnesota Vikings’ pass stoppers for 385 yards and four touchdowns.

Despite having arguably the NFL’s top cornerback in Jalen Ramsey, L.A. is a modest 15th in pass yards allowed per game this year (241.7). Bettors should also recall that Rodgers propelled Green Bay to a divisional round victory over the Rams last season by going 23-for-36 through the air with 296 yards and two touchdowns.

With running back Aaron Jones (knee) likely to miss another week, the pressure will be on Rodgers to go to the air more often than usual.    

NFL pick: Over (-113)

Marquez Valdes-Scantling touchdown scorer

Marquez Valdes-Scantling’s big play-making ability should be put to good use by Rodgers in this one.

Davante Adams – Rodgers’ top target – is likely to be shadowed by the peerless Ramsey throughout this contest. That means someone from Green Bay’s supporting cast of wide receivers will have to step up.

“MVS” was targeted by Rodgers 10 times last week, and he hauled in four passes for 123 yards and a touchdown. Don’t be shocked if Rodgers looks his way in the red zone here.

NFL pick: Valdes-Scantling anytime TD (+210)

Darrell Henderson Over/Under 64.5 rushing yards

Running back Darrell Henderson has been in great form lately despite the Rams’ recent losing streak. Assuming L.A. doesn’t fall behind by multiple scores early once again, Henderson should be able to reward his backers in the rushing prop department.

The Memphis product has averaged 5.87 yards per carry over his last three games, but has amassed a modest 30 carries in that span. However, even if Henderson receives just 12 carries in this tilt, he would clear the 64.5 rushing yard plateau if he holds true to his latest form.

NFL pick: Over (-113)
