NFL Week 14 has arrived and things got started with a wild AFC North matchup on Thursday Night Football as the Lions prevailed against the Packers. What else will happen on another wild NFL Sunday? We have a number of interesting matchups to get excited for, including Browns vs Steelers, Seahawks vs Cardinals, Bills vs Rams and a crunch Chargers vs Chiefs matchup on Sunday Night Football. I’ve picked out my best NFL player prop bets from Sunday’s matchups, which you can find below as I target Saquon Barkley, Kirk Cousins and Ray-Ray McCloud. You can also find out the Pickswise team’s NFL picks on the side and total for every game in Week 14 and throughout the entire season.
Saquon Barkley (PHI) longest rush over 19.5 yards (-120)

Saquon Barkley has a rushing total of 112.5 on Sunday. Crazily enough, I still lean for him to go over that number, but I think this is the better market here. Barkley is 8 of 12 this season on games with a 20+ yard rush. Among games with 100+ rushing yards, he is 7 of 8 with the one miss being a heartbreaker at 19. Carolina is a great target here who allows many chunk plays to running backs on the year. Philadelphia is a 2-touchdown favorite and Barkley should see 20+ handoffs. This bet has first-quarter cash potential and it wouldn’t surprise me if it does so. Barkley is on an MVP run and no one should be able to stop this beast.

Kirk Cousins (ATL) 200+ passing yards + Ray-Ray McCloud (ATL) 3+ receptions (-140)

I wanted to take Kirk Cousins against his old team in some capacity on Sunday and we landed on this. Cousins is facing some scrutiny for his play in recent weeks and deservedly so. If there was ever a time for him to snap out of it would be in a revenge spot in Minnesota against his old buddies. Cousins has been off lately but still has 200+ passing yards in 10 of his last 11 games. The Falcons are 5.5-point underdogs so they should need to pass throughout this contest. Ray-Ray McCloud is a nice leg here too. He has 3+ receptions in 10 of 12 weeks and has 6+ targets in back-to-back weeks, being featured in the offense now more than ever. This is a nice correlated 2-leg SGP and I like our odds of cashing on Sunday.
