With 14 games on the NFL Week 17 Sunday schedule and a marquee Monday night matchup, there are plenty of opportunities for NFL prop bettors to find some picks to cash in. There aren't many great games Sunday, but the scramble for playoff positioning is at a critical point. Tampa Bay hosts Carolina in one key matchup at 1 p.m. ET Sunday, with the Bucs able to reach .500 and clinch the NFC South with a victory. Tom Brady is fourth in the NFL in passing yards, but the Tampa Bay offense is averaging less than 18 points per game.

Still, Brady could be a solid option against a Carolina defense that ranks 20th in the NFL. The Bucs are 3-point home favorites, and Caesars Sportsbook has the over/under for Brady's passing yards at 281.5. He is favored to go Over 1.5 TD passes (-135) and Under 0.5 interceptions (-129).  

There are dozens more NFL props available on this game and every other in NFL Week 17, and you can find excellent value. Before you make any 2022 NFL prop picks or NFL Week 17 bets, be sure you check out the top NFL picks and predictions from NFL props expert Alex Selesnick.

Selesnick (aka PropStarz) specializes in NFL, MLB and NBA prop betting, where he implements a combination of research, statistical analysis and mathematical modeling. 

The expert has been CRUSHING his picks, going 4-0 again last week to improve to a stunning 39-24 on NFL prop picks in this column through 16 weeks. He also went 130-89 (+26.69 units) on MLB prop plays during the 2022 season and is up nearly 235 units on NBA props and futures plays over the past two-plus seasons.

After combing through the hundreds of available NFL player prop odds, PropStarz has several value picks he expects to pay off in NFL Week 17. One play the props expert is backing is Bills quarterback Josh Allen Over 1.5 TD Passes (-120) in the Monday night showdown with the Bengals. The Bills passing attack has slowed down a bit, but that has been necessary in recent cold weather. Favorable conditions in Cincinnati should make for a shootout in the AFC showdown with the Bengals, and Allen should cash in.
