What Alternate Prop Line means
An alternate prop line offers a player prop at a different statistical threshold than the standard posted number, with odds adjusted accordingly - similar in concept to an alternate spread or total. If a receiver's standard receiving-yards prop is set at 65.5, an alternate line might offer 45.5 yards at much worse odds, or 85.5 yards at much better odds, letting bettors express a more precise, higher-conviction opinion on that player's expected output.
