Best Bears-Packers prop bets Week 1: Top SuperDraft parlay picks for NFC North rivarly image

The NFL's Week 1 Sunday slate concludes with an NFC East battle between the Giants and Cowboys at MetLife Stadium in prime time (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC). What better way to take in the season's first true "Sunday Night Football" broadcast than to craft a player prop parlay involving both squads' most prolific skill position studs?

For users looking to make an entry via SuperDraft's Fantasy Props feature, we're here to guide you in the right direction. SuperDraft users can win 3X the amount wagered if their two-legged player prop parlay hits. Consequently, the more legs you add to your player prop parlay, the larger your potential payout becomes, but as the long odds indicate, completing a clean sweep is challenging.

Below, we'll break down four of our favorite SuperDraft player props for Sunday's Bears-Packers Giants game. Users don't necessarily have to parlay all four picks together, though. Instead, you could make separate multi-leg parlays to increase your win probability or attempt to hit it big if all three picks come through.

Best Bears-Packers prop bets: SuperDraft player prop picks for Week 1

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

1. DJ Moore, WR, Bears — OVER 

Dallas' WR1 is expected to start his season with a strong showing, unlike last season's two-catch, 29-yard output against the Buccaneers in Week 1. There typically isn't much wiggle room when it comes to betting Lamb's OVERs, as the prop market understands how important of a piece he is to Dallas' offense, but we see some wiggle room in his total receptions market.

Even in Lamb's dud of a season debut in 2022, which culminated in his lowest receiving yard output of the year, he saw 11 targets but came down with two receptions. Volume is king, and although this prop is accurately priced, we think he goes OVER six receptions more times than not, especially after hauling in a career-best 107 receptions on 157 targets last season. Back Lamb to replicate his efficiency against the Giants with a seven-plus catch night.

2. Saquon Barkley, RB, Giants  — UNDER 71.5 rushing yards

Saquon's career-long struggles against the Cowboys (58 rush yards per game) make us hesitant to back the superstar RB to reach 72-plus rushing yards. Yes, Barkley totaled 81 rushing yards in New York and Dallas' first meeting in Week 3 last season, but 36 of his 81 yards came on a single run in the third quarter.

Barkley's always a threat to cap off chunk yards on the ground, but it's hard to see him rushing for 72-plus against a stout Cowboys defense that ended 2022 posting the third-lowest rushing success rate (36.9%) and fourth-lowest rush EPA (-0.126).

3. Tony Pollard, RB, Cowboys — OVER 71.5 rushing yards

With new offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer in the fold, expect an efficient Week 1 showing from one of the league's most efficient backs. Schottenheimer's reliance on establishing the ground game to open up play-action opportunities could result in a 15-plus carry night for a back who averaged 4.7 true yards per carry in 2022.

Sure, Pollard's efficiency likely takes a dip with a significant boost in his projected workload this season, but we can't fathom betting the UNDER on a back who totaled the third most breakaway runs (15 or more yards) last season. 

4. Brandin Cooks, WR, Cowboys — UNDER 51.5 receiving yards

We're high on Cooks' season-long prospects as Dak Prescott's new No. 2 wideout, but we're not sure he totals 52-plus receiving yards on SNF. Cooks was brought in to add a vertical passing element that the Cowboys' offense was lacking following Amari Cooper's departure, but with Pollard and Lamb likely to get theirs as the focal points, can Cooks break off a chunk play through the air?

Cooks is also competing for targets alongside Jake Ferguson (prime sleeper TE candidate) and mainstay Michael Gallup, so we're hesitant to back Cooks to go OVER this number in his Cowboys debut.
