Gross Bombs: NFL Props for Week 16
Josh Gross
After a clash in the NFC Championship game 10 months ago, the Green Bay Packers have had this week’s Thursday football game against the San Francisco 49ers circled on their calendar for quite some time. This game, however, will look incredibly different. Between COVID-19 and injuries, this game will be without Jamaal Williams, AJ Dillon, George Kittle, Jimmy Garoppolo, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and potentially Aaron Jones.
Saying that this will be a clash of the B-teams may be a better way to approach this game. Even so, there are fantasy points to be had and money to be made, especially on PrizePicks.
Speaking of “PrizePicks,” it is a creative new way to parlay picks based on expected fantasy point production.
The format is simple. You pick two, three or four players and predict whether they will go over or under their projected fantasy point total.
When parlaying the players, the larger your parlay, the better the payout:
- Two-pick entry pays 2.5x (max entry: $400)
- Three-pick entry pays 5x (max entry: $200)
- Four-pick entry pays 10x (max entry: $100)
As a bonus offer, there is a “flex play” option if you choose to run a four-man parlay. This will provide some security, as you can earn 1.5x your buy-in if three of your four picks hit.
The game kicks off at 8:20 p.m. ET. My top six PrizePicks are below.
