The 2023 NFL regular season brings with it plenty of new intrigue. What will future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers accomplish with the New York Jets? Will he struggle like Brett Favre, who made the same journey from Green Bay to New York, or will he lead the Jets to heights they haven’t seen since the days of Broadway Joe? Can Derek Carr find his elite form in New Orleans? Will Jimmy Garoppolo have a team in Week 1? Today’s article deals with some of the more interesting prop bets that you can include in your NFL betting for the coming year.
NFL Betting News: Top 7 Prop Bets for the 2023 Season
Philadelphia Eagles to Win the NFC Championship (+300)
Yes, the Eagles are the favorite, and it’s hard to get to two consecutive Super Bowls. However, the Eagles have a relatively easy path to a division title. The Washington Commanders are mired in a rebuild and have Sam Howell penciled in as their starting quarterback. The N.Y. Giants still have to sign Saquon Barkley to a contract; without him, the Giants’ offense will struggle. The Dallas Cowboys have visions of contender status as well, but they didn’t replace their free-agent losses adequately, and we still don’t know if Dak Prescott can win a playoff game despite facing adversity. After the division, the likely challenges for Philadelphia in the playoffs include a Minnesota team with the gifted but turnover-prone Kirk Cousins at quarterback; a San Francisco team that might have to rely on Trey Lance at quarterback for a lot of the season; a Tampa Bay team that is Baker Mayfield’s latest shot at redemption; and a Detroit Lions team that gave D’Andre Swift away. So the NFC is wide open, and the Eagles are the only team that is solid in all three phases.
Jordan Love OVER 13.5 Interceptions (-105)
Jordan Love enters his first season as the starting quarterback in Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers threw 12 picks last year with the Packers, and he’s one of the best players at avoiding turnovers in the history of the league. The wide receivers Love will have around him are a youth movement – talented, but inexperienced. In his career, Love has played ten games, starting one, with three career interceptions. His lone career start was in Week 9 of 2021, and he threw for 190 yards, with a touchdown and a pick. Going just two interceptions over Rodgers’ performance last year is quite reasonable.
C.J. Stroud UNDER 22.5 Passing Touchdowns (-145)
Stroud took the S2 cognition test, which measures processing and decision-making. Of all the quarterbacks taken in this year’s draft, his was the lowest. The next-lowest score was 28% higher than Stroud’s. He’s joining a Houston Texans team that has settled in as one of the league’s doormats. So going “under” on offensive productivity makes a lot of sense.

Jordan Addison with the Most Yards for a Rookie WR (+175)
Addison joins a Minnesota team that picks up plenty of passing yards, and wide receiver Adam Thielen left town via free agency. Quentin Johnston is another elite rookie wideout, but he joins a Chargers team that already has Keenan Allen and Mike Williams running routes. Zay Flowers joins a run-heavy offense and has Rashod Bateman and Odell Beckham Jr ahead of him.
Bijan Robinson OVER 1,100.5 Rushing Yards (-120)
The Atlanta Falcons went away from conventional wisdom by drafting a tailback high, but Robinson is a special running back. He ran for 1,580 yards and scored 18 touchdowns in 12 games last year. The Falcons will need to be run-heavy with the young Desmond Ridder leading the offense. Tyler Allgeier managed 1,035 yards in 2022, and he doesn’t have the speed or power that Robinson has.
Aaron Rodgers UNDER 8.5 Interceptions (-115)
The Jets went 7-10 last year, and that was with an unproven quantity in Zach Wilson as the starting quarterback. Their defense might be the best in the AFC East, and tailback Breece Hall showed game-changing speed. If he’s back at 100%, the Jets will have a dangerous offense. Rodgers has won four MVP trophies, and he’s motivated after leaving dysfunction in Green Bay.
Lamar Jackson OVER 872.5 Rushing Yards (-120)
Lamar Jackson just got a huge extension, and with the addition of Odell Beckham Jr (assuming he dodges the off-the-field allegations against him), Jackson feels he can throw for 6,000 yards in 2023. However, his legs are his game-changer. In his career, he has run for 72.7 yards per start. He has missed five games in each of the last two seasons, and he didn’t hit 800 rushing yards in either season. However, if he can average just 51.35 yards per game this season and remain reasonably healthy, he will go over this average.
