Philip Rivers Odds & Props for Seahawks vs Colts (Week 15)

• Philip Rivers, who last played in the NFL in 2020, could start in Week 15 for the Colts
• The 44-year-old pivot has a projected passing yards line of 152.5 yards

That Pro Football Hall of Fame call Philip Rivers was expecting will have to wait another five years.

That’s because Rivers, the 44-year-old pivot, who last played in the NFL in January of 2021, is now an Indianapolis Colt, and it’s looking more and more likely he’ll be suiting up Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks (insert mind-blown emoji here).

It took a major confluence of circumstances to get here — either Indy’s QBs are injured or not good enough to play — and the 8-5 Colts are rolling the dice that the veteran can salvage their year.

While Father Time is undefeated, he can’t stop the books from building these Phillip Rivers NFL player props. Read below for my favorite picks.

Philip Rivers Props to Target

Odds as of December 13, 2025 at DraftKings. Find these props and many others at our top-rated NFL betting apps.

Philip Rivers Prop Pick #1: Longest Completion

If you care about 2020 stats, Rivers cashed the Over on this actual number 14 times in 16 games.

So it’s entirely possible that a short crosser or screen pass burns me here, but I am very skeptical to see how a guy who’s been out of professional football for the last five years is going to be able to sling it. And practice lobs are different than letting rip in live game settings, people.

Shane Steichen must have an ultra-conservative game plan for his pivot in this one: Seattle is one of the best defenses in the NFL, and they’ve absolutely destroyed the last two QB’s that they’ve faced, one inexperienced (Minnesota rookie Max Brosmer) and one veteran (Atlanta’s Kirk Cousins).

The Seattle dominance on Cousins is even more impressive considering Cousins followed that game up by throwing for 373 yards and 3 TD’s in a win over the Bucs.

I can’t see him putting Rivers in harms way, especially against a team that ranks Top 4 in sacks, using mostly a four-man rush that generates the second highest pressure rate, second-most QB hurries and fourth-most QB hits.

Get ready for a heavy dose of Jonathan Taylor.

• Pick: Longest Completion UNDER 28.5 yards (-110)

Philip Rivers Prop Pick #2: Touchdown Passes

I find it hard to believe the Colts will be able to sustain long, methodical drives down the field, but a long Taylor run, penalties, and turnovers could put Indy in potentially favorable positions to score.

This is where I think Rivers can actually do some damage, where he can make quick read throws into tight spots, without feeling the rush from a taking a deep drop.

Seattle’s defense has posted allowed no TD passes in each of the last two games, but on this current run of seven wins in eight games, they have allowed at least one passing score in five games.

Assuming he stays on the field, this is about the only one I’m taking an Over flier on.

• Bet: OVER 0.5 TD passes (+103)

Philip Rivers Prop Pick #3: Passing Yards

Once the wonder and awe of Rivers getting into the huddle and taking his first snap is over with, the reality is going to hit really hard: this is not going to be a pleasant experience.

Seattle has held two of the last four opponents to Under 150 yards passing, while also limiting Cousins to 162 yards and Jayden Daniels to 153 yards, and they’ve been with their teams all season.

The only way to keep Seattle’s pass rush at bay is to feature plenty of Taylor, but that plan hasn’t been working of late, even with Daniel Jones under center.

Save for his monster 244-yard rushing game against Atlanta, Taylor has rushed for 85 yards or less in four of the other five games sandwiching that one.

Still, that should be the plan, with plenty of short dump offs and check-downs on the passing menu. I think the good old third down draw play could show itself here on multiple occasions too.

Add it all up, and it doesn’t get close to 150 yards.

• Bet: UNDER 149.5 pass yards (-113)
