Best NFL Monday Night Football Player Prop Picks

With both Cincinnati and Dallas having rather glaring and polarizing strengths and weaknesses, we actually prefer making NFL MNF player prop picks rather than targeting the standard markets.

We’ve seen the Bengals nearly upset the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens twice while also struggling against the New York Giants, while we also saw the Cowboys fall to 3-7 before some recent wins. While that demonstrates supreme inconsistency, what we do feel comfortable focusing on is the QB position.

Cincinnati QB Joe Burrow has been fantastic despite his team’s poor record, while Dallas QB Cooper Rush has been thrust into the spotlight. They are going to be the targets for our NFL MNF player prop picks, so let’s get into our best bets!
 

 

 

Bengals vs. Cowboys Player Props: Joe Burrow Over 8.5 Rushing Yards (-115 at BetMGM Sportsbook)

While we’re going to be focusing on the QB position, the first of our NFL MNF player prop picks isn’t quite the typical way you would think to do so. Well, it may be for the likes of Ravens QB Lamar Jackon, but not usually Burrow.

However, Burrow has had spurts of rushing games, including each of the last two times against NFC East teams this season (15 and 55 rushing yards, including one rushing score). That’s a great sign when facing the perfect defense to see that happen again.

Not only have the Cowboys allowed the second-most rushing yards per game, but they have been abysmal against QBs scrambling specifically. It’s now been four straight games allowing QBs to score a rushing touchdown, and five of the past six! That’s not only remarkably poor, but quite a unique trend.

It hasn’t only been guys like Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts - third string New York Giants QB Drew Lock ran for 57 yards and a touchdown against them just last weekend! Along with Burrow rushing for 28 yards in a prime time game just two weekends ago, we’re starting our NFL MNF player prop picks with Joe Burrow over 8.5 rushing yards (-115 at BetMGM Sportsbook).
 

 

 

Bengals vs. Cowboys Player Prop Bets: Cooper Rush Under 238.5 Passing Yards (-115 at BetMGM Sportsbook)

Now, for the most conventional QB approach - passing yards. However, we’re going to be looking to the under, which may be the more surprising approach. That’s because the Bengals defense has been quite awful, but do we really want to trust Rush to be the one to exploit that?

In his first start after the injury to starting QB Dak Prescott, he threw for a whopping 45 yards, and in Dallas’ most recent game, he threw for just 195 yards. Sandwiched between there he was able to exceed this line, but we still feel as though it's been quite inflated with Cincinnati having just played three strong QBs.

On the flip side, when they face subpar QBs, they perform quite well - let’s take a look at some numbers. Against Carolina Panthers QB Andy Dalton - 220 yards. Against New York Giants QB Daniel Jones - 205 yards. Against Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson - 128 yards. Against Las Vegas Raiders QB Gardner Minshew - 124 yards.

We’d put Rush in that category rather than the likes of Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, Chargers QB Justin Herbert and the like. It’s also difficult to see the Bengals playing so well that Dallas is forced to throw early and often, so we’re adding to our NFL MNF player prop picks with Cooper Rush under 238.5 passing yards (-115 at BetMGM Sportsbook).
