Today's Best NFL Prop Bets for Week 5 (Trevor Lawrence Poised for Huge Performance vs

The NFL season continues and we have a whole host of games to watch and bet on today.

Remember that betting on teams and totals is not the only way to bet on the NFL. If you find it easier to predict the performance of certain players, Player Props may be right for you.

If you're looking to place some player props for today's games, you've come to the right place. I'll break down three of my favorite player props for Sunday's action. Let's dive in.

Odds over BetMGM sports betting

Andy Dalton UNDER 219.5 Pass Yards (-115)

Andy Dalton will take steps backwards today against the Chicago Bears. The Bears' secondary has proven to be one of the best in the league, ranking second in opponent dropback EPA, seventh in opponent dropback success rate and allowing just 174.5 passing yards per game.

The Panthers would be wise to stick with the run game in this game and not force Dalton to throw the ball more often than he has to.

Trevor Lawrence OVER 234.5 pass yards (-115)

I'm ready to shop cheaply at Trevor Lawrence. He and the Jags have a favorable matchup this week, as the Colts' secondary has struggled through the first four weeks, ranking 25th in opponents' yards per pass attempt (7.1), 21st in dropbacks -Opponent success rate and ranked 24th in opponent EPA per dropback.

We can also feel comfortable knowing the Jaguars are throwing the ball early and often. They rank sixth in the league in passing percentage, throwing the ball on 61.9% of snaps. Lawrence will have plenty of opportunities to surpass his passing yards total this week.

Gardner Minshew throws an interception (-135)

Gardner Minshew has already thrown an interception in three of his four games this season and will now face an elite Broncos secondary. This will lead to Minshew making rash throws as he tries to fit the ball into tight windows, which will likely make for a close game as a result.

I'm surprised we can get -135 odds on Minshew throwing a pick in a game that seems primed for it. I ranked this as my #1 player prop in this week's Player Prop Countdown.
