Buckle up, we have an extremely rare Tuesday night NFL double-header in store tonight.

The Washington Football Team will take on the Philadelphia Eagles, and the Seattle Seahawks will face the Los Angeles Rams. Both games are set to kick-off at 7pm EST.

Let's take advantage of the rare Tuesday night NFL action by placing some prop bets for the game. If you want prop bets for the NFC East battle between Washington and Philly, check out Ben Heisler's article here.

I'm going to focus on the NFC West showdown between the Seahawks and Rams. Let's dive into my top three prop bets for the game, with odds courtesy of WynnBET.

3 Best Prop Bets for Seahawks vs. Rams

  • Russell Wilson UNDER 32.5 Pass Attempts (-105)
  • Odell Beckham Jr. OVER 52.5 Receiving Yards (-125)
  • Matthew Stafford OVER 2.5 Passing Touchdowns (+135)

Russell Wilson UNDER 32.5 Pass Attempts (-105)

Russell Wilson has only thrown the ball more than 32 times twice in his 10 starts this season, and I don't expect that to change tonight. In fact, the Seahawks are only averaging 29.4 pass attempts per game this season, which is the second lowest mark in the NFL.

The Seahawks would be smart to try to establish the run against this Rams defense, especially when considering how effective the Rams stout pass rush will be against a Seahawks offensive line that's giving up three sacks per game so far this season.

Odell Beckham Jr. OVER 52.5 Receiving Yards (-125)

OBJ's role in the Rams offense has increased since signing with the team ahead of Week 10. He's eclipsed 52.5 receiving yards in two of his last three games, and the only time he didn't was due to him having to leave the game early due to an injury.

Beckham Jr. caught six receptions for 77 yards and a touchdown in last week's game against the Cardinals, and I expect a similar performance from him tonight.

Matthew Stafford OVER 2.5 Passing Touchdowns (+135)

As a little plus-money play, I'm adding in Matthew Stafford to throw for at least three touchdowns on Tuesday night. He's reached this mark in three straight games, and has only failed to throw for at least three scores in five games this season.

Stafford and the Rams now face a Seahawks defense that ranks 24th in opponent yards per pass attempt and 21st in opponent average passer rating. Look for Stafford to have a big game tonight.
