Sam Darnold 2025-26 NFL Preview, Season Odds & Props
Sam Darnold’s 2024 campaign with Minnesota was the breakout bettors had been waiting for. Thrust into the starting role after J.J. McCarthy’s preseason injury, Darnold opened 5-0, racking up 932 yards and an NFL-high 11 touchdowns in September to earn NFC Offensive Player of the Month. He delivered clutch fourth-quarter comebacks, lit up Atlanta for a career-best five TDs, and finished with career highs across the board, 4,319 passing yards, 35 TDs, 102.5 passer rating, while leading the Vikings to a 14-3 record.
Though the postseason debut against the Rams was a dud, Darnold still earned his first Pro Bowl nod and a Comeback Player of the Year nomination. Now signed to a three-year, $100.5M deal with Seattle, his big arm, improved accuracy, and track record for covering spreads in high-leverage moments make him one of the more intriguing quarterback betting angles heading into 2025.

NFL Player Season Props Picks & Predictions
Sam Darnold thrived in 2024, but a new system in Seattle, tougher defensive matchups, and potential regression in TD efficiency make Under 20.5 passing touchdowns appealing. Without Minnesota’s elite supporting cast, sustaining last year’s 35-touchdown pace will be far more difficult.
