Steelers vs. Vikings Most Popular Player Props

  4. Najee Harris to score a touchdown at any time (-121)

Odds and data via PointsBet as of Thursday morning.

With Vikings running back Dalvin Cook questionable with a shoulder injury, his backup Alexander Mattison is the most popular pick for Thursday Night Football.

Mattison has scored in each of his last two games — games in which Cook has been sidelined with his aforementioned injury.

Cook suffered his ailment in Week 12 against the San Francisco 49ers. Mattison scored later in that game, then came back the following week to put up among his season-highs in rushing yards and carries.

Expect Mattison to nab at least 20 carries in Cook's absence.

In the event that Cook plays, he has -150 odds to score a touchdown at any point in this game, and it's the second-most popular player prop.

For reference, at PointsBet, a player must play in order for their prop bet to be valid. In other words, if Cook is sidelined, your bet on his player prop would be refunded.

Cook has scored in four out of the seven games this season in which he's played and did not leave the game due to injury.

The third-most popular player prop is on Justin Jefferson to score a touchdown at any point at -136.

Jefferson has scored in six out of his 12 games this season, which implies that his odds here should be somewhere around +100 instead of -136.

Meanwhile, Steelers running back Najee Harris has the fourth-most popular player prop pick.

Harris has scored a touchdown in five of his 12 games this season, which implies that his odds should be around +140.
