The San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants are two of the preeminent franchises in the NFL and will meet on Thursday Night Football in Week 3. The game will kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET from Levi's Stadium and there are already hundreds of NFL player props available for NFL prop bettors. Daniel Jones has rushed for 102 yards in his first two games and he could be in for even more rushing work on Thursday with Saquon Barkley out due to an ankle injury.

Built using cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques by SportsLine's Data Science team, AI Predictions and AI Ratings are generated for each player prop. The AI predictions are determined by statistically learning from each player's historical data then quantitatively evaluating the strength of the opponents defense by assigning a numeric value out of 100 called a matchup score.
Once a prediction is formulated, the AI rating is generated using the prediction, the matchup score, and the odds of the market. For example, you could see a 5-star rating on an over bet if a player is facing a poor defense, their prediction differs from the line and there are favorable odds.
In addition, SportsLine AI is the first fully automated predictive model at SportsLine. It continuously refreshes on the most recent available data and can help you spot the biggest discrepancies in the lines.
