Monday Night Football in Week 13 sends the New York Giants to Foxborough to take on the 10-2 New England Patriots. Oddsmakers are laying -7.5 with the Patriots as home favorites and a 46.5 point total. We’re going to hunt for three new player props to bet ahead of this interconference prime-time matchup.
Last week, my NFL Monday Night Football Player Props & Bets (Week 12) settled a profitable 2-1. This brings my Monday Night Football player prop picks 7-2 over the last three weeks. Bryce Young didn’t go over on his passing yards, resulting in the lone loss last week. 49ers wideout Ricky Pearsall finished with six receiving yards, easily cashing under 40.5 receiving yards, while Christian McCaffrey went over 71.5 rushing yards.
Let’s dive into Monday’s matchup between the Giants and Patriots, featuring a pair of young quarterbacks in Jaxson Dart and Drake Maye. Follow me on X at Matt_MacKay_ for more betting analysis and free picks.

Best NFL Monday Night Football Player Prop Picks
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
New England remained bullish on TreVeyon Henderson during Rhamondre Stevenson’s return against the Bengals in Week 12. Henderson finished with 18 carries for 66 rushing yards, while Stevenson logged a meager six carries for five total rushing yards.
Henderson’s undoubtedly the better player, so expect another 15-plus carries against a porous Giants run defense. His total rushing yards line has been set to 63.5, which Henderson has gone over in two of his previous three games, finishing just short of this line with 62 rushing yards against the Jets in Week 11.
New York has surrendered 150 or more rushing yards to four of its past five opponents. Henderson is in line for a massive night in a favorable matchup and could cash over 63.5 rushing yards on one carry due to his elite vision, explosiveness, and game-breaking speed.
Let’s bet on the Patriots’ RB1 to go over 63.5 rushing yards against the Giants on Monday Night Football.
Jaxson Dart is back from his stay in the concussion protocol. He’ll face a Patriots pass defense that has allowed fewer than 200 passing yards in back-to-back games against the Jets and Bengals.
Dart has gone under 205.5 passing yards in five of seven starts for the Giants during his rookie campaign. New England’s run-centric and methodical drives will bleed clock, limiting the amount of snaps Dart will play, forcing him to be hyper-efficient in interim head coach Mike Kafka’s offense.
Let’s fade Dart during his first game back from the protocol. It’s a tough matchup on the road, and New England may wind up dominating time of possession, so we’re going to bet on Dart’s under 205.5 passing yards prop.
Giants wideout Darius Slayton saw a much bigger target share with Dart under center before the brief switch to Jameis Winston. Isaiah Hodgins is now in the lineup, adding size and depth to an underwhelming New York wide receiving corps, yet Slayton has built a good rapport with Dart.
He saw between four to seven targets from Week 8-10, leading to 2-5-4 receptions during this stretch. He also logged over 2.5 receptions against the Chargers and Saints, which came during two of Dart’s earlier starts.
Wan’Dale Robinson was Winston’s favorite target, followed by Hodgins and Theo Johnson. Now that Dart is back, expect him to target Slayton enough to yield three receptions.
We’re going to invest in New York’s slot receiver and bet on Slayton to go over 2.5 receptions at -106 odds.
