Patrick Mahomes enters Week 4 with a strong chance to extend his touchdown streak, while Jonathan Taylor and Jahmyr Gibbs offer intriguing rushing and receiving prop bets in a packed NFL schedule. DraftKings Sportsbook, FanDuel, and BetMGM are among the sites offering extensive player props and bonuses to boost bets for the 16 games this week.
Mahomes has thrown multiple touchdown passes in each of his first three games of the season, including a 20 of 24 passing performance last Sunday that yielded 246 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory over the Miami Dolphins. The three-time Super Bowl MVP has also beaten his passing touchdown projections three times in five games and has found the end zone multiple times in 11 of his 15 career games against the Las Vegas Raiders. According to the SportsLine Projection Model, Mahomes is expected to throw two touchdowns again against the Raiders on Sunday.
Jonathan Taylor, the Indianapolis Colts’ running back, was held without a touchdown for the first time this season in Week 3’s 19-17 win over the Houston Texans. He rushed 23 times for 68 yards, following strong showings in Weeks 1 and 2 where he totaled two rushing touchdowns in each game along with near or above 90 rushing yards. Taylor has surpassed his rushing yards market in three of his last games against teams with losing records, with an average of 130.8 rushing yards during that span. Facing the Washington Commanders, who enter Week 4 with a 1-2 record, the SportsLine Projection Model predicts Taylor will rush for 104.3 yards on average, above his market total of 92.5 yards.
Jahmyr Gibbs has emerged as a central figure in the Detroit Lions’ offense, scoring six total touchdowns—four rushing and two receiving—over the first three games. He leads the team in rushing yards with 307 on 65 carries and ranks second in receiving with 18 catches for 156 yards, trailing only All-Pro wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. Gibbs has outperformed his receiving market in seven of his last 11 games when Detroit was favored. The Lions enter Week 4 as 2.5-point favorites against the Carolina Panthers, and the SportsLine Projection Model forecasts Gibbs will record 49.7 receiving yards on average in that matchup.
The Week 4 NFL slate includes notable matchups such as Steelers vs. Browns, Colts vs. Commanders, Chiefs vs. Raiders, and Lions vs. Panthers, offering bettors a broad spectrum of prop bets and spreads to consider. Sportsbooks have responded with nearly $3,000 in bonuses available through various promo codes, including $150 in bonus bets with DraftKings, $250 with FanDuel, and up to $1,500 with BetMGM, to entice users to engage with the NFL betting markets this week.
Sportsbooks also continue to emphasize responsible gambling, offering tools like wager limits and self-exclusion options. The Problem Gambling Help Network’s hotline at 1-800-GAMBLER is available for those seeking assistance.
As the NFL season progresses, prop bets on players like Mahomes, Taylor, and Gibbs offer a data-driven approach for bettors looking to capitalize on individual performances amid a full Week 4 schedule. The SportsLine Projection Model’s forecasts provide a statistical benchmark to weigh against market expectations before placing wagers.
