The Los Angeles Rams (7-7) will host the New Orleans Saints (7-7) on Thursday Night Football to kick off Week 16 and both squads will need a victory to stay within the frame of a crowded NFC playoff picture. Over the last two weeks, Cooper Kupp has started to look like his old self again, catching at least eight passes for 111 yards and a touchdown against the Commanders and Ravens. Kupp's over/under for total receiving yards is currently 72.5 according to the latest Saints vs. Rams NFL player props. Which side of that line should you back with your NFL prop bets and which Saints vs. Rams player props should you target? Before betting any NFL props for Thursday Night Football in Week 16 or entering selections on sites like PrizePicks, you need to see the Rams vs. Saints NFL prop predictions powered by SportsLine's AI PickBot.

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 and 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 with the most recent available data and can help you spot the biggest discrepancies in the lines. So far this season, the AI PickBot has hit a whopping 672 4.5- and 5-star prop picks.

For Rams vs. Saints on Thursday Night Football, the AI PickBot has evaluated the NFL player prop odds and provided Saints vs. Rams prop picks for every available prop market. You can only see the AI player prop predictions for Los Angeles vs. New Orleans here.

Top NFL player prop bets for Rams vs. Saints

After analyzing Saints vs. Rams and examining the dozens of NFL player prop markets, the AI PickBot says Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford goes over 247.5 passing yards. In fact, the AI PickBot predicts that he blows by that total by nearly 70 yards, projecting he throws for 316 yards and rating the over as one of its five-star plays for Thursday Night Football.

Stafford's season average is 255.4 yards and he's thrown for at least 248 yards in seven of his 13 starts this season. However, he's played his best football in recent weeks, throwing for 1,060 yards and 12 touchdowns with only one interception over his last four games, throwing for 258 yards or more in each of the last three weeks.

With running back Kyren Williams providing the offense with balance and the emergence of rookies Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell helping take pressure off Cooper Kupp, Stafford and head coach/play-caller Sean McVay have a lot of options. It's a big reason why Stafford ranks ninth among NFL quarterbacks in yards per attempt (7.3) and deep-ball completion rate (45.1%). See more NFL props here.
