It wouldn't be the NFL playoffs without sweating touchdown props.

To help you find an edge on these props for Bengals-Chiefs and 49ers-Rams on Championship Sunday, I projected my "true" odds for first and anytime touchdown scorers. I then outlined them next DraftKings odds so you could quickly identify potential betting edges.

I also created this downloadable spreadsheet so you can input odds from any book to calculate edges accordingly (more on how to do that below).

What Are NFL Player Prop Bets?

Bets on a player's statistics or various outcomes can be considered a player prop. Betting on the over or under on a quarterback's passing yards, over or under on a wide receiver's number of receptions, and whether a running back will score a touchdown are all considered player props.
