Broncos vs Lions Props #1: Jahmyr Gibbs Longest Rush
One of the best bets in NFL props is counting on Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs to break loose for at least one big run every game. If you factor in each of the games during his rookie season, Gibbs averages out to a per-game longest run of 22.6 yards. His longest rush has gone over 13.5 yards in seven successive games. He’s set with a longest run total of 14.5 yards in this game.

Denver is the NFL’s worst run defense. The Broncos surrender 144 yards per game on the ground. In 11 of 13 games, they’ve allowed a longest run of 14+ yards. Back him to have a run for 15 or more yards in Saturday’s Broncos vs Lions props.

Broncos vs Lions Props #2: Russell Wilson Rushing Yards
Russell Wilson is looking like his old self, and that’s bad news for the Lions. Wilson has rushed for over 30 yards in four of his past six games.

Set with a rushing yardage total of 26.5 yards, he averages just a few ticks under that against Detroit, with 22 yards on the ground per game over four games. But Wilson is 3-1 SU against the Lions, and always seems to be at his best when facing them. So we’re willing to bet he gets over his rushing yardage mark on Saturday night.
