Best Christmas Day prop bets for Week 16

Travis Kelce, TE, Chiefs — OVER 65.5 receiving yards (-110)

Despite an underwhelming showing in the Chiefs' Week 15 bounce-back win over the Patriots (five receptions, 28 yards), we're buying low on Kelce against a team he torched just a few weeks ago. Kelce's receiving yardage prop of 65.5 is the second-lowest total of the year, with his lowest total coming in Week 6 against Denver (64.5).

While he might not be producing at the rate we've grown accustomed to, he's still been one of the most efficient TEs relative to his expected points added (+48.9 EPA; second among TEs) while drawing 8.5 targets per game. With his receiving yardage prop near its low point, we'll back Patrick Mahomes' go-to receiving option to post a similar stat line to his six-catch, 91-yard effort in his first matchup against Las Vegas.

Jalen Hurts, QB, Eagles  — UNDER 1.5 passing TDs (-135)

While we expect the Eagles' offense to get back on track and snap their three-game losing skid, we're not sure about Hurts' chances of throwing for two-plus passing touchdowns. Hurts has gone UNDER number in four of his past five games, and with the Eagles' rushing attack (and Brotherly Shove) dominating in the red zone, we think he'll make it five out of his past six games.

Davante Adams, WR, Raiders — OVER 65.5 receiving yards (-115)

Betting on a target hog like Adams to go OVER his receiving prop is never a bad idea, as Las Vegas' WR1 enters Week 16 with the third-highest target share among WRs (32 percent). Although Adams doesn't have a high aDOT (11.1; 49th among WRs), he's seen double-digit targets in four of his past five games, as his steady usage helps make up for his lack of reliability in the deep parts of the field.

With the Raiders likely passing at a high clip in a projected negative game script, Adams has ample opportunities to eclipse this total.

Saquon Barkley, RB, Giants — OVER 19.5 receiving yards (-110)

With the Giants likely playing from behind in a game they're priced as nearly two-touchdown underdogs in, Barkley's in a favorable spot to hit his OVER on receiving yards. Tommy DeVito ranks near the bottom of the league in average intended air yards (7.0) as his propensity to check the ball down plays into Barkley's chances of having a strong receiving day.

Gus Edwards, RB, Ravens — OVER 39.5 rushing yards (-110)

Fresh off a 16-carry, 58-yard showing against a strong Jaguars rush defense, we're betting on the "Gus Bus" to reach 40 rush yards on Monday night. With fellow RB Keaton Mitchell (knee) out for the season following his unfortunate ACL injury sustained last Sunday night, Edwards is in line for a usage boost.

The 49ers just got gashed on the ground without two key cogs on the defensive line (Javon Hargrave and Arik Armstead), allowing James Conner to rush for 86 yards on 14 carries last week. While Hargrave is listed as questionable, Armstead has already been ruled out, so there's a chance both players fail to suit up on Monday. Even if Hargrave is good to go, Edwards' high-volume workload makes his OVER 39.5 rushing yards an intriguing play.

Brandon Aiyuk, WR, 49ers — UNDER 63.5 receiving yards (-115)

It's never easy betting on a 49ers' skill position player's UNDER, but we're holding our nose and fading Aiyuk in a difficult matchup. Baltimore's defense ranks third in the league in drop-back success rate (40.2 percent), consistently forcing offenses to operate off-schedule. Aiyuk's receiving yardage prop is the highest among 49ers' pass catchers, which makes sense given he's the team's leading receiver, but considering how dominant Deebo Samuel has been in the past several weeks, we could easily see Samuel lead the team in receiving.

At a slightly inflated number, we'll take a contrarian stance and fade San Francisco's WR1.
