Most Bet Player Props
1) RJ Harvey (Broncos) Over 56.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
The Denver Broncos’ rushing attack is drawing strong interest, with RJ Harvey’s rushing yardage over emerging as the most bet prop of the late slate. Bettors are backing volume and opportunity against a shorthanded Kansas City Chiefs squad in a game where Denver will look to control tempo and stay balanced offensively.
With the line sitting in the mid-50s, this prop has attracted consistent action as bettors look for a path to value through ground production rather than volatile passing outcomes.
