When the Patriots face the Broncos in Denver in the Christmas Eve night game of NFL Week 16 for the "Holiday Classic" (Sunday 8:15 p.m. ET, NFL Network), there will be plenty of intriguing prop bets to consider even with two limited offenses.

It's easy to get in on the action. If you successfully hit on two player props, you get 3x return. That exponentially grows all the way to 100x return for parlaying eight correct picks together at much longer odds. In other words, if you put down a $20 entry fee on our four props below and they all hit, you get paid $200. 

Whether you're going with a two-legged parlay or stringing together props with at least three players, here are our four favorite SuperDraft plays for the Sunday night AFC showdown between New England and Denver:

Best Patriots-Bronocs prop bets: SuperDraft player prop picks for Week 15 SNF

*10x potential payout if users parlay all four correct picks

1. Russell Wilson, QB, Broncos — OVER 203.5 passing yards

The Patriots shut down the run well, and the Broncos' rushing attack is rather inept. Wilson needs to put it up a lot and pass better for Denver to rebound from a bad loss at Detroit last week. He will find enough favorable matchups, as New England has enough holes in coverage to jump him past this very low number.

2. Bailey Zappe, QB, Patriots  — UNDER 188.5 passing yards

Zappe has even a lower number, but there's not much confidence he can hit this against the Broncos' pass defense strength. The Broncos' run defense is terrible, and the Patriots will stick to pounding on the ground as their best chance to win. When they pass, Zappe lost his one great matchup with tight end Hunter Henry and not much else will work here.

3. Javonte Williams, RB, Broncos  —  UNDER 55.5 rushing yards

The Patriots have become nasty against the run. They are allowing on average 84.9 rushing yards per game, the second lowest in the league behind the Bears. Williams hasn't run well all season, and the Broncos fail in tougher matchups up front.

4. Courtland Sutton, WR, Broncos — OVER 50.5 receiving yards

There's some thought the Patriots might try to take Sutton away from Wilson, but his size and speed can get him open in tough spots and he tends to come through in clutch situations. He's a big-play guy outside, and New England can give up those types of plays. He can hit this in like four catches.
