Broncos vs. Patriots props, odds, best bets, AI predictions, Christmas Eve NFL picks: Sutton under 50.5 yards

Samaje Perine was Denver's leading rusher last week, finishing with 37 rushing yards on just six attempts in a blowout loss to Detroit. Perine had finished with just nine rushing yards in his previous two games combined, as Javonte Williams is the team's leading rusher. Williams has a rushing yards total of 55.5 for Sunday night's game against the New England Patriots on Christmas Eve according to the latest Patriots vs. Broncos prop odds from SportsLine consensus. Which side of his total should you be on with your Week 16 NFL prop bets?

Williams has received double-digit carries in nine straight games, and his prop total for Sunday night has been set at 15.5 in the Week 16 NFL lines. New England has been stingy defensively this season, so that is something to consider when you lock in your Christmas Eve NFL prop picks. Before betting any NFL props for Christmas Eve in Week 16 or entering selections on sites like PrizePicks, you need to see the Broncos vs. Patriots NFL prop predictions powered by SportsLine's AI PickBot.

Built using cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques by SportsLine's Data Science team, AI Predictions and AI Ratings are generated for each player prop. The AI predictions are determined by statistically learning from each player's historical data and then quantitatively evaluating the strength of the opponents defense by assigning a numeric value out of 100 called a matchup score. 

Once a prediction is formulated, the AI rating is generated using the prediction, the matchup score, and the odds of the market. For example, you could see a 5-star rating on an over bet if a player is facing a poor defense, their prediction differs from the line and there are favorable odds.

In addition, SportsLine AI is the first fully automated predictive model at SportsLine. It continuously refreshes with the most recent available data and can help you spot the biggest discrepancies in the lines. So far this season, the AI PickBot has hit a whopping 672 4.5- and 5-star prop picks.

Top NFL player prop bets for Broncos vs. Patriots

After analyzing Patriots vs. Broncos and examining the dozens of NFL player prop markets, the AI PickBot says Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton goes under 50.5 receiving yards. Sutton has finished with at least 53 receiving yards in six straight games, including a 71-yard outing at Detroit last week. He is going to have trouble maintaining that form on Sunday night, as New England continues to shut down opposing offenses.

The Patriots held four straight quarterbacks under 215 passing yards before last week's game against Kansas City's elite offense. They are facing a significantly worse offense this week, as Denver ranks No. 25 in the NFL in passing yards per game (187.1). The number of overall possessions is going to be severely limited as well, with the Patriots (No. 25) and Broncos (No. 31) both ranking near the bottom of the league in plays per game.

It will be difficult for Sutton to go over his total in a slow-paced contest, especially since both rushing attacks are expected to be at the forefront of the proceedings. The AI PickBot has Sutton finishing with less than 20 receiving yards, making the Under a 5-star pick. .
