NFL player props are one of the hottest betting markets, giving NFL bettors plenty of opportunities to get involved every week. Much like in Fantasy football, NFL props allow fans to give themselves a vested interest in every game and the Week 2 NFL schedule is full of intrigue. Bills quarterback Josh Allen began his season with a thud, tossing three interceptions and averaging just 5.8 yards per pass attempt in a loss to the Jets. Now, Allen and the Bills will host the Raiders and the latest NFL player props list his over/under for total passing yards at 254.5.
Can Allen bounce back on a short week and what are the NFL bets to target? Before betting any NFL props for Sunday afternoon games in Week 2, you need to see the Week 2 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 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. Its under bets cashed at a 67% clip in Week 1, bringing a commanding $4,277 for $100 bettors.
For Sunday afternoon games in Week 2, the model has evaluated the NFL player prop odds and provided prop picks for every available prop market. You can only see the AI player prop predictions for NFL Week 2 here.
Top NFL player prop bets for Week 2
After examining hundreds of NFL player props across the Week 2 Sunday afternoon games, SportsLine AI says Patrick Mahomes goes over 296.5 passing yards.
The two-time MVP didn't get off to a particularly hot start in a season-opening loss to the Lions in the 2023 NFL Kickoff Game, completing 21 of 39 passes for 226 yards. However, he had eight passes dropped and is likely to get Travis Kelce (knee) back in Week 2 against the Jaguars. The All-Pro tight end is Mahomes' top target in the passing game, so Kelce's return would drastically change the outlook for Kansas City's offense. Kelce caught 110 passes for 1,338 yards and 12 touchdowns last season, averaging 78.7 yards per game.
Mahomes was still able to rack up nearly 230 yards last week despite the drops and Kelce's absence. He will be motivated to put together a strong showing in Week 2, as the Chiefs are trying to avoid the first 0-2 start from a Super Bowl-winning team since 1999. SportsLine AI expects a much cleaner performance from Kansas City's wide receivers this week, predicting that Mahomes finishes with more than 300 passing yards. See more NFL props here.
