How NFL player props work
While the exact options may differ depending on where you bet, here’s a look at the top QB passing props and how they work:
Most passing yards
For this wager, the goal is to pick the QB who will lead the league in passing yards for the season. Sportsbooks will have the latest NFL betting lines for all of the candidates, ranging from the top favorites down to extreme long shots. The odds at the top may look like this:
- Justin Herbert +600
- Tom Brady +700
- Patrick Mahomes +800
Thanks to the positive odds across the board, there’s the chance for some exceptional returns, even when wagering on favorites. At odds of +600, a winning $10 bet would return $60 in profit, while $50 would bring back $300.

Most passing TDs
You can also place your bets on which QB will lead the league in passing TDs. The bet works in the same fashion as betting on the passing yards leader. Tom Brady led the league in passing TDs last year with 43, followed by Matthew Stafford with 41.
Starting QB props
If there’s a potential QB controversy brewing for the preseason, sportsbooks will release odds on who will be the starter in Week 1.
