Waiver Wire: Week 8 We've officially reached the halfway point of the 2024 season. The campaign is flying by despite all the turmoil football fans have faced.

Week 7 NFL Player Props

For the fifth time in six weeks, we had a profitable weekend of wagering. We were three Dalton Schultz yards away from an even better week. Still, in Week 6, we turned out a 4-3 record.

Remember to always odds shop at your different sportsbooks to find the best value for these props. With that in mind, let’s get down to business and find the best Week 7 NFL prop bets!

Geno Smith OVER 24.5 Pass Completions (+100)

The Seattle Seahawks’ defense has been struggling, and this Sunday they’ll try to contain an Atlanta Falcons offense that's been on fire, scoring 74 points in the last two games. Spoiler: I don't expect Seattle to pull it off, which means Geno Smith will be airing it out to keep the Seahawks in the game.

Falcons' opponents have completed 26+ passes in three of their last four games, and Atlanta’s defensive strategy seems to be: bend, don’t break. They play zone coverage at the third-highest rate in the league, allowing the highest completion percentage, but also limiting teams to the fifth-lowest yards per attempt and sixth-lowest air yards per attempt.

On top of that, Atlanta's pass rush is almost non-existent, generating pressure at the second-lowest rate in the NFL (14%), which means Geno Smith should have plenty of time to sit back and dink-and-dunk his way down the field.

Smith, by the way, leads the NFL in pass attempts and completions, even though he ranks 27th in average depth of target among starting QBs. He’s more than happy to chip away methodically, and it’s working—he’s topped this completion mark in five straight games, averaging 31 per game during that stretch.

At even money, I’m all in on Geno topping this number again.
