3 best player prop bets for Week 8
The New York Giants (2-5) are hosting the New York Jets (3-3) this Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford.
Not much scoring is expected as the over/under has been hovering around 36.5 all week, per BetMGM.
There’s money to be made somewhere here but not on ‘sure’ bets. If you want to cash in, you’ll need to get creative and take a few leaps of faith.
Here are three prop bets that might pay off for you in this game, if you’re willing.

The Giants’ defense has been excellent the past two games, allowing just 14 points to the Buffalo Bills and seven to Washington last week.
The Jets held the Philadelphia Eagles to 14 points last week.
Both teams are struggling offensively behind backup quarterbacks. The Giants will blitz Zach Wilson excessively and Tyrod Taylor is more of a ‘move the chains’ option than a big play one.
The Giants are averaging a league-low 12.1 points per game. The Jets are averaging 18.8.
If you can envision a 17-14 or less game, this is a solid play.

Breece Hall is a beast and the Giants aren’t going to fully contain him. Sure, you can bet on him having over a certain amount of yards in this game (the number is 68.5) but that is going to get you less than even money.
Hall has scored a touchdown in each of the past two games and is the Jets’ best option in the red zone and on the goal line.
The Giants are 27th against the rush and 21st in the red zone. They have been playing better as of late, but +600 is a nice price for a stud running back to open the scoring.

After a slow start, the Giants are figuring out that they have a massive mismatch player in Darren Waller, especially in the red zone.
Waller began the season dealing with an injury but is now healthy-ish. He is also now playing with Tyrod Taylor at quarterback instead of Daniel Jones.
Taylor seems to look more for Waller in certain situations than Jones had been.
Waller scored last week and was interfered with in the end zone on the final play in Buffalo the week before, so he’s in play again this week against a Jets defense that is allowing the most fantasy points to tight ends this season.
