NFL Wild Card Monday PrizePicks – 1/17

After an exciting weekend of playoff football, we finish the Wild Card round off with the Arizona Cardinals heading to Los Angeles to take on the Rams. These teams split this year with the Cardinals winning 37-20 in Week 4 and the Rams winning 30-23 in Week 13. This game kicks off at 8:15 ET and the Rams are the favorite according to Vegas. As always, these picks are for PrizePicks, but most sportsbooks have similar odds. Let’s get right to it with NFL Wild Card Monday PrizePicks – 1/17.

Zach Ertz Over 5.0 Receptions

Zach Ertz has become the defacto #1 option for the Cardinals since Hopkins’ season ended. In the last four games, he leads the team in targets (50) and receptions (33) and his 295 receiving yards is just one yard less than A.J. Green. Ertz has also hauled in more than five passes in five of the last seven games. I feel this is a pretty safe bet tonight and fully expect the Cardinals to keep utilizing Ertz. 

Matt Prater Over 8 Fantasy Points

Matt Prater is one of the most reliable kickers in the NFL and he’s also my favorite. He rarely misses and he’s got 50+ yard distance. In four of his last six games, he’s gone over eight fantasy points. Now here’s the kicker (pun intended): He has made three field goals in three straight games against the Rams and twice this season. This is an easy money play!

Sony Michel Over 53.5 Rushing Yards

The Rams are going to run the ball and Sony Michel is the lead back. Simple enough. Before Week 18, Michel had crushed this rushing number in five straight games with at least 74 yards in each game. Since Week 12, every running back to take at least 20 carries has eclipsed this mark, Michel even did it in Week 14 with 79 yards. Cam Akers doesn’t worry me, at all. Even if he’s active I don’t believe he’s taking much away from Michel at all. This prop is going to hit on the over. I’d even take it over 60 yards.
