Rams vs. Lions Player Prop: Stafford’s Passing Yards
Stafford threw for over 276 yards in four out of his final five games to close out the regular season. The lone exception was when he threw for 258 yards in a win over Washington in mid-December. Otherwise, he lit opponents up through the air and should do so again tonight. Kyren Williams has been a key piece in Los Angeles’ offense but Detroit has been stout against the run. Assuming Williams is bottled up, Stafford will need to put the ball in the air plenty tonight at his old stomping grounds.

Rams vs. Lions Player Prop Prediction: Williams Receiving Yards
The Rams are susceptible to allowing big plays through the air and Jameson Williams is the Lions’ deep threat. The Lions will be aggressive tonight and I expect Jared Goff to take his shots down field. When he does, he’ll look towards the speedster Williams, who could cash his over on one play.
Jameson Williams over 34.5 Receiving Yards
Rams vs. Lions Player Prop Prediction: Montgomery Anytime Touchdown
Kyren Williams (-160) and Jahmyr Gibbs (-150) odds are inflated, but David Montgomery’s anytime touchdown prop offers value. He has scored a touchdown in three straight games and has 13 scores on the season. Gibbs is more explosive and he’s heavily involved in the team’s passing game, but Montgomery continues to receive goal line looks. If the Lions get close tonight, expect the ball to be in Montgomery’s hands.
