The NFL regular season is always full of surprises from one year to the next.  Whether it’s an unlikely  team like the Carolina Panthers (7-0) vying for a perfect season.  Or a running back such as DeVonta Freeman leading the league in rushing yards, the NFL is extremely difficult to handicap from one year to the next.

Bet365 offer an overwhelming variety of regular season proposition bets to choose from.  With four teams (Denver, New England, Cincinnati and Carolina) currently holding down perfect records thus far you can wager on whether or not you think a team can mate the 1972 Miami Dolphins and accomplish a perfect season and playoffs.

One of the newer prop bets available this year on Bet365 is the Super Bowl/division winner team, meaning you are handicapping which division winner AFC or NFC will be the victors in Super Bowl 50 this year.  This is a pretty cool bet considering the heavy favourites are the AFC East in which the New England Patriots are 3.40 odds to win the Super Bowl.  Considering how dominating the Patriots have been this year, to get three times your money for them to win their fifth Championship is a great value bet!

Looking at player specific proposition bets, there are also a number of wagers available based on individual performances such as most yards passing, rushing and receiving.

With so much attention being paid to the success of passers such as Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, and Drew Brees to name a few, Philip Rivers of the San Diego Chargers actually leads the league in passing with 2753 yards coming into action this week.  Bet365 have Rivers favoured to finish the season in the same position as league leader and is paying 2.50.  Don’t look now but Saints gunslinger Drew Brees comes in at a very juicy 7.50 to lead the league in passing yards and the 15 year veteran out of Purdue is coming off a ridiculous 505 yard, 7 TD game last week against the New York Giants.

Here’s a look at some of the more interesting individual player prop bets this year:

Most yards receiving

Through the first eight weeks of the season it should be no surprise to anyone that Falcons WR Julio Jones is leading the league with 892 yards.  The ultra skilled playmaker out of Alabama has been shredding secondary’s all season and will be looking to add on his totals as his Atlanta Falcons visit the dreadful San Francisco 49ers Sunday afternoon.  Wideout DeAndre Hopkins from Houston is nipping at the heals of Jones as the 870 yard total from Hopkins is good enough to earn him a tie as co-favourites to finish the season as the league’s top wide receiver paying 3.20 odds on Bet365.  Broncos WR Demaryius Thomas and Steelers’ Antonio Brown are tied for second on the favourites list as both elite talents come in at 11-1.  Thomas currently sits 7th in the league in receiving yards and his total of 695 yards is almost 200 yards shy of Jones with one game in hand.  Looking for a great value wager here?  Bengals wideout AJ Green has looked his typical Pro Bowl self and that Cincinnati offense has looked very crisp this year with QB Andy Dalton being brought up in MVP conversations of late.  Green is paying 21-1 and currently sits in sixth place with 702 yards through the first eight games this year.

Most yards rushing

In an era that seems dominated by high octane passing attacks and incredible highlight reel circus catches virtually every weekend, there are some rather impressive individual seasons taking place on the ground.

For starters, all world running back Adrian Peterson (4.50) has returned to action this season after missing the entire year last year for some off the field shenanigans.  AP is leading the league in rushing attempts at an even 20 per game and his 633 rush yards are good for third in the league with one game in hand against Freeman and veteran Chris Johnson.

The five star value pick of the category has to go to Rams rookie running back Todd Gurley who in five games has amassed 575 yards and is the only tailback in the league with more than 100 yards per game average this season with 115 yards average.  Gurley is paying a very succulent 6.50 to finish the year atop the running pile and has carved himself quite the niche in that starting role for St Louis
