Week 8 NFL Player Prop Bet Predictions - The Rithmm Roundup
Table of Contents
Welcome to the Rithmm Roundup for NFL Week 8 player prop bets! Rithmm has tons of tools for you to take advantage of in order to make betting on the NFL (and many other sports) just a little bit easier.
In this weekly column, I'll be taking a close look at our NFL Player Props tools, which you can find on the Rithmm app/website (make sure you sign up for your seven-day FREE trial at the bottom of the column) and picking some NFL Week 8 Player Props and game predictions to spotlight. This article will drop every Friday afternoon, and then in the following week's posts, we'll recap how things went!
Remember, our goal is to make betting a little bit easier for you all with the help of our AI Sports Betting predictive analytical models, so with that said let's dive right into the Week 8 Rithmm Roundup.
Understanding Player Props on Rithmm
First, let's get familiarized a little bit with Rithmm's interface, specifically for AI NFL player props and AI Sports Picks.
Starting with player props, to access the full comprehensive list, simply click on the props button in the bottom left of Rithmm while on the NFL tab. You'll then be presented with a list that looks exactly like this.
You'll see a couple interesting things here. First of all, Rithmm provides up-to-date odds on lines, which is extremely handy so you don't have to head to the sportsbook app to see if the line has changed since seeing it. Our player props tool also will show you what the Rithmm AI model's projection is for that player. Lastly, you'll see a percentage number on the right side, the word DTM, and either a little green star or a yellow caution sign.
DTM stands for Difference to Market, and it represents the difference between Rithmm's prediction and the line that your sportsbook has. Rithmm will compare the probability that the player prop has of winning based on Rithmm's line and the book's line, historical data, and the book's payout to determine the DTM. Once that happens, if the difference falls within a certain window, Rithmm will label it a recommended bet by putting a green star next to it.
Keep in mind that the model is not the end-all, be-all here! We want you to also use the Research tab as well to support your theories when taking NFL Week 8 player props.
Best Week 8 NFL Player Prop Bet Predictions
Week 6 Record: 1-3
Season Record: 15-12
Let's get into it! These are a few of the best player props for NFL Week 8 that the Rithmm AI Model spit out, along with updated odds and DTM. We'll look at the research behind each play and see why Rithmm recommended it.
Week 8 Geno Smith (SEA) Prop Bet Predictions
Pick: Over 13.5 Rush Yards (-113)
Rithmm Predicts: 20.7 Rush Yards
DTM: 63.4%
This has turned out to be a common bet this season! The Bills have been pretty friendly to opposing QBs on the ground, with four of the seven they've faced going over this number. Mason Rudolph had 13 last week, which would have put this further in our favor.
Geno can be very mobile when he wants to, going over in 4/7 games this year. He seems to vacillate between way over or way under, and we lean way over here.
Week 8 Anthony Richardson (IND) Prop Bet Predictions
Pick: Over 40.5 Rush Yards (-113)
Rithmm Predicts: 59.5 Rush Yards
DTM: 56.6%
Another QB rushing prop! Richardson is a certified mover, with at least 24 rush yards in all five games this season. He has two over this number, one of the being against the Texans in Week 1!
The Texans have struggle to contain QBs, with Richardson, Caleb Williams, Josh Allen, and Drake Maye all having at least 38 rush yards against them. I expect Richardson to be on the move once again in this game.
Week 8 Baker Mayfield (TB) Prop Bet Predictions
Pick: Over 1.5 Pass TDs (+136)
Rithmm Predicts: 2.0 TDs
DTM: 40%
It would not surprise me at all if, despite the losses of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, Mayfield were to have a solid game against the Falcons. They give up 1.5 passing touchdowns per game and Mayfield is a competitor who will do whatever it takes. I expect him to be throwing plenty this week.
Week 8 Daniel Jones (NYG) Prop Bet Predictions
Pick: Under 26.5 Rush Yards (-115)
Rithmm Predicts: 19.4 Rush Yards
DTM: 28.5%
Jones could easily find himself benched once again in a tough matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Steelers have allowed the second-fewest rushing yards per game to QBs this season as well.
