Best FanDuel NFL playoff specials: Three wild card props we like
1+ points to be scored in each quarter of all six wild card games (+350)
Up from +310 on Thursday, these odds are quite attractive because this wager would have paid off twice in the previous three seasons.
In those 18 first-round games played from 2020-22, there was only one in which there was a scoreless quarter, and oddly, it came in a 42-21 victory by Kansas City over Pittsburgh in the 2021 postseason.
Among the teams involved this weekend are seven of the top eight scoring squads in the league. The one missing is No. 3 San Francisco, which has a bye.
Defensively, six are ranked 17th or worse in yards yielded.

Each team to score 1+ rushing touchdowns in each of the six wild-card games (+18000)
The odds for this prop were at +38000 at midweek and have dropped considerably.
But the value is still strong.
Probably the biggest concern is whether Tampa Bay can come through at home against Philadelphia. That’s because the Bucs have scored only eight TDs on the ground this year, tied for 28th in the league.
Although the Eagles’ defense is ranked 26th, they have allowed only 13 rushing scores in part because they have been a soft touch through the air where they’ve yielded 35 TDs, second most in the league.

DaRon Bland of Dallas to have a Pick 6 (+4500)
Bland, a second-year cornerback, led the league with nine interceptions this season and, along the way, set an NFL record with four pick 6s.
He’ll now face a first-year starter in Green Bay’s Jordan Love, who will likely be a little more daring than usual since the NFC’s seventh-seeded Packers could be working from behind much of the game against the No. 2 Cowboys.
Then again, Love has improved exponentially, throwing only one INT in the final eight games with 18 TD passes.
However, at these odds, it’s well worth a wager.
FanDuel NFL wild card specials: Three playoff props to avoid
No touchdown to be scored in 1+ games (+2500)
Let’s do the math.
There have been 615 playoff games in the history of the NFL, dating to 1932, and in only four has no touchdown been scored by either team.
That last time was 17 years ago when Indianapolis earned a 15-6 divisional-round victory over Baltimore.
OK, now divide 4 into 615. That gets you one such game every 154.6 matchups.
Needless to say, avoid this prop at all costs.

Any opening kickoff (first of game) to be returned for a TD (+2500)
Based on this year’s results, even getting +25000 odds on every game played in the regular season would have resulted in bettors losing money over the long haul.
In the 272 league games, there was only one score on the opening kickoff when New England’s Jalen Reagor went 98 yards to open New England’s game in Buffalo in Week 17.
And there won’t be a repeat performance this week since Reagor probably will be watching from his recliner.
Any offensive lineman to score a TD (+2200)
StatMuse reported that no offensive lineman in the league scored a touchdown in the regular season, so making this bet — at these odds — is a definite no-no.
In fact, there was only one occasion when one of those burly guys scored on a 2-point version.
There would have been two such scores had Detroit’s apparent successful conversion attempt against Dallas two weeks ago not been negated by a penalty.
Lions fans are still grumbling about it.
