NFC, AFC championships: Player prop betting guide
For the last time this year, we have multiple games in the NFL, and we're celebrating by digging into each team's defensive trends to find player prop spots worth targeting. The stats you see are the same as last week, given most teams are no longer playing, moving a defense up or down slightly in the ranks based on last week felt counterintuitive to what we're trying to accomplish here.
The defensive stats you see are what we've seen all season long, and it's what we'd feel best targeting this weekend.
