The 2024 NFL Divisional Round kicks off with a doubleheader on Saturday. Four dynamic offenses create plenty of possibilities in the NFL player props market. The action begins with the Baltimore Ravens hosting the Houston Texans at 4:30 p.m. ET, Then, the Green Bay Packers will visit the San Francisco 49ers at 8:15 p.m. ET. The Packers were the only road team to win during NFL Super Wild Card Weekend and quarterback Jordan Love has thrown for multiple touchdowns without an interception in each of his last five starts. His over/under for total passing touchdowns is 1.5 in the latest 2024 Divisional Round NFL prop bets.

However, the 49ers held 12 of their 18 opponents this season to fewer than two passing touchdowns, so how should you play that Jordan Love line and which NFL player props should you target? Before betting any NFL props for Saturday's NFL Divisional Round doubleheader or entering selections on sites like PrizePicks, you need to see the NFL prop predictions powered by SportsLine AI.

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 opponent's 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. So far this season, SportsLine's AI PickBot has hit a whopping 1,674 4.5- and 5-star prop picks. Anyone who has followed it is way up.

For Saturday's doubleheader, the AI PickBot has evaluated the NFL player prop odds and provided NFL prop picks for every available prop market. You can only see the AI player prop predictions for Saturday's NFL Divisional Round games here.

Top NFL player prop bets for Saturday's doubleheader

After examining dozens of NFL player props across the 2024 NFL Divisional Round Saturday markets, SportsLine AI says Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson goes over 227.5 passing yards. This is a rematch of a Week 1 matchup that the Ravens won 25-9 and Jackson only threw for 169 yards in that game but he only threw 22 passes in total and still averaged 7.7 yards per attempt.

The Houston offense has evolved significantly since that meeting, so expect Jackson and the Ravens to have to throw the ball more frequently in Saturday's matchup, which bodes well for the Over. Jackson has thrown for at least 250 yards in three of his last four starts and averaged a career-high 8.0 yards per attempt this season, so the target here is for him to reach the 30s in attempts.

Jackson and the Ravens have had two weeks of rest now after resting key starters with the No. 1 seed wrapped up in Week 18 and the offense could benefit from the return of Mark Andrews (ankle) this week. Those are big reasons why the AI PickBot is predicting that Jackson throws for 273 yards, rating the Over as one of its five-star plays for Saturday. See more NFL props here.
