Monday Overreactions: Fun Prop Bets

The first Monday of the football season is upon us, and with the first 15 games of the NFL season completed many teams are left with more questions than answers. SportsBetting.ag has examined this first week of games and created 10 prop bets including the most interesting storylines from Week 1. Daniels Jones reached a 4-year deal worth 160 million dollars with the New York Giants last March, and Week 1 of the Regular Season has still left fans wondering whether it was the right choice. The Giants were soundly defeated by the Vikings 28-6 and Daniel Jones was far from impressive going 22/42 for 186 yards with two interceptions, one of which being a pick-6. This leaves the questions:

What week will Daniel Jones be benched?
Before Week 11 bye      -150
After Week 11 bye        +110

What will happen first in Week 2?
Daniel Jones throws pick-six      +550
Daniel Jones throws TD             -1000

Bryce Young had a rough rookie season with the Panthers going 2-15 and throwing 11 Touchdowns to 10 interceptions. The Alabama product still has many questions to answer as the Panthers finish Week 1 with a massive loss to the Saints 47-10. Young went 13/30 for 161 yards as well as 2 interceptions. This has led to the question of:

What week will Bryce Young be benched?
Before Week 11 bye      -120
After Week 11 bye        -120

The Browns signed Deshaun Watson to a fully guaranteed contract of 230 million over 5 years in 2022. The Quarterback’s time with Cleavland has been turbulent with 15 Touchdowns to 11 interceptions in 13 career starts for the Browns. The Browns and Watson looked lackluster in Week 1 of the NFL season with a 33-17 loss to the Cowboys, Watson went 24/45 for 169 yards with a touchdown and 2 interceptions. Many are wondering:

Will Deshaun Watson get benched during 2024 regular season?
Yes       +300
No        -500

Due to the recent performances of the 3 Quarterbacks listed above SportsBetting.ag has created a prop bet to leave fans guessing:

Who will get benched first?
Daniel Jones                 +100
Bryce Young                  +150
Deshaun Watson           +1400

Russell Wilson sees his third new team in four years as his brief stint with the Broncos ends with a trade to the Steelers for the 2024 Campaign. After the Steelers narrowly defeated the Falcons 18-10 in the opening week of the season the question can be asked:

Will Russell Wilson start a game this season?
Yes       -200
No        +150

One of the major rules changes this NFL season is the introduction of a new style of kickoff. So far when comparing the kickoffs stats such as Touchback Percentage, Return Average, and Kickoff Return TDs for this year and last year there have been notable improvements. This leaves the fans wondering how kickoff will look this year once the season progresses.

Will there be a kickoff return TD in Week 2?
Yes       +250
No        -400

Total kickoff return TDs during 2024 regular season
Under 7.5         -150

Over 7.5            +110

The New England Patriots beat the odds and showed resilience in a 16-10 win over the Bengals at Paycor Stadium. The win marked Patriots Head Coach Jerod Mayo’s first career win, while also being a less than enjoyable day for Joe Burrow as he went 21/29 for 164 yards and no Touchdowns. Burrow decided to sport a new look at the start of this season revealing a bleach blonde buzz cut during training camp. For the superstitious of us this leaves the question:

Will Joe Burrow have new hair color before Week 2 kickoff?
Yes       -150
No        +110

Rookie Head Coaches Dave Canales and Brian Callahan were not as fortunate as Jerod Mayo as both lost their opening games, Callahan lost to Caleb Williams Bears 24-17 while Dave Canales lost to the Saints 47-10. Dave Canales’ Panthers play the Chargers in Week 2 while Brian Callahan’s Titans play the Jets next week. With both coaches having tough games ahead of them it begs the question:

Which rookie head coach will be the last to win a game?
Dave Canales                -150
Brian Callahan               +110
