What are props?

Props, or proposition bets, are single wagers placed on outcomes which are not directly related to the final score of an event. Proposition bets can be placed on sporting events, politics and various other topics (e.g., How many field goals will be made? Who will win the next election?). Odds in either moneyline or fractional format are posted for each possible outcome. Learn how to bet on NFL props here. 

IMPORTANT: certain propositions cannot be included in a parlay wager.
