NFL Wild Card Weekend: Commanders vs. Buccaneers Prop Bets Revealed

NEW YORK, N.Y. — As the NFL Wild Card Weekend kicks off, data-driven prop bets for the Washington Commanders vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers matchup on Sunday, January 12, 2025, are generating buzz among sports bettors. Powered by advanced simulations and machine learning, these picks highlight key players like Austin Ekeler, Baker Mayfield, and Jayden Daniels.

The Commanders-Buccaneers game, set for 8:00 p.m. ET, features three standout prop bets. First, Washington’s Austin Ekeler is projected to exceed 19.5 rushing yards with a 13.5% edge at -110 odds. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay’s Baker Mayfield is expected to stay under 19.5 rushing yards, offering a 14.7% edge at the same odds. Lastly, Commanders’ quarterback Jayden Daniels is predicted to fall short of 54.5 rushing yards, with a significant 28.4% edge at -110 odds.

Ekeler, who returned from a concussion in Week 18, has had a challenging season, rushing for over 350 yards in just 11 games. His performance will be critical as the Commanders rely on their three-headed rushing attack, which also includes Brian Robinson Jr. and Jeremy McNichols. Robinson, the team’s RB1, has stepped up in Ekeler’s absence, amassing 729 rushing yards this season.

Baker Mayfield, the Buccaneers’ quarterback, has shown limited rushing ability, making the under bet on his rushing yards a favorable option. Jayden Daniels, known for his dual-threat capabilities, faces a tough Buccaneers defense that could limit his ground game.
