Best NFL Player Props for Thursday Night Football: Panthers vs. Packers
Through Week 6, the Packers had a 7.8% pass rate over expected (PROE). In Josh Jacobs’ Week 7 return, Green Bay had a 6.4% PROE. It was a small step back, but it was something. Meanwhile, Carolina’s defense ranks 29th in PROE against (-2.6%) this season, and they were just curbstomped by Tampa Bay’s rushing attack. Tampa Bay’s trio of Bucky Irving, Kenneth Gainwell and Sean Tucker rumbled for 246 yards and 5.47 yards per carry.
It was the second time a team’s backfield exceeded 200 rushing yards against the Panthers this season. Carolina has allowed the most rushing yards per game (126.8) and yards per carry (5.21) to running backs this season. D’Andre Swift (124 rushing yards), Irving (106 rushing yards), Kyle Monangai (100 rushing yards), Gainwell (88 rushing yards), Bijan Robinson (72 rushing yards) and Quinshon Judkins (70 rushing yards) each surpassed 59.5 rushing yards against the Panthers this season.
Jacobs is once again the Packers’ lead back. In his first game of the season, he handled 11 of Green Bay’s backfield’s 17 rush attempts (64.7%). Jacobs managed only 36 rushing yards on 11 carries for 3.27 yards per carry. Nevertheless, his workload was rock-solid, and if he shook off some rust, he could be more efficient and take a larger piece of the pie against Carolina’s pitiful run defense. Jacobs topped 59.5 rushing yards in nine of 16 games last season, and he should clear the over on Thursday for the first time this season.

What is an NFL player prop bet?
An NFL player prop bet is a type of wager where you’re betting on the performance of a specific player in a game rather than the overall outcome. For example, you might place a bet on how many passing yards a quarterback will throw for, or how many touchdowns a running back will score. It’s a fun way to get more invested in the action, especially if you’re confident in how a particular player will perform, regardless of who wins or loses the game. It’s like focusing on one slice of the pie instead of the whole thing.
