NFL Season Props (12 props) + SB Picks

Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL betting. Munaf Manji and Sleepy J opened the 2026 NFL season with their annual season long player props special on The Props Podcast, working through ten different plays across quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tight end and touchdown markets before locking in their picks to win the Super Bowl. Sleepy J, at 2:38, led off the quarterback discussion backing Jayden Daniels to clear four and a half rushing touchdowns, pointing to his rookie season usage, the season ending triceps injury to left tackle Laremy Tunsil, and one of the most grueling opening schedules in the league for the Washington Commanders. Munaf, at 8:12, answered with a passing yards play on Kyler Murray, betting that a fresh start with the Minnesota Vikings under head coach Kevin O'Connell and alongside Justin Jefferson unlocks the kind of production Murray has shown whenever he has stayed healthy. The running back props brought a pair of contrarian unders, with Sleepy J fading Derrick Henry's rushing touchdown total in Baltimore given his age, a rebuilt offensive line and a new coaching staff, and Munaf fading rookie Jeremiyah Love's rushing yardage in Arizona given a crowded backfield and a team likely to trail often. Wide receiver props sparked the liveliest debate of the show, with Sleepy J backing an under on A.J. Brown's yardage after his move from a concentrated Philadelphia passing attack to a crowded New England receiver room, while Munaf took the other side on Brown's touchdown total, expecting a heavy dose of red zone work in his new offense. Munaf also liked DJ Moore to clear his receiving yardage number after landing with Josh Allen in Buffalo. On tight ends and touchdowns, Sleepy J backed Kyle Pitts to clear his reception total in Atlanta and projected a touchdown breakout for Tetairoa McMillan in Carolina, while Munaf backed a big season for Colston Loveland in Chicago behind an offense chasing record scoring numbers. To close the show, starting at 46:53, both hosts revealed their picks to win the Super Bowl, with Sleepy J going against the grain on the Cincinnati Bengals at long odds, citing a healthy Joe Burrow and a much improved defense, while Munaf landed on the Detroit Lions, calling them a team flying under the radar behind Jared Goff and a talented roster on both sides of the football. The two hosts also touched on the current landscape heading into the season, noting the AFC feels more wide open than it has in recent years and that the NFC is shaping up to be a gauntlet from top to bottom. Throughout the episode, both hosts leaned on usage trends, coaching changes, roster turnover and scheme fit rather than surface level box scores, walking through why certain numbers on the board looked mispriced heading into the year. The show closed with a preview of the busy football schedule ahead, including week zero college football coverage already underway and NFL Week 1 preparation on the horizon, with weekly props coverage set to continue for the entire season on The Props Podcast.
