Best NFL Monday Night Football Player Prop Picks
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Washington presents a favorable matchup for Patrick Mahomes to exploit with his legs. The Commanders have allowed at least 128 rushing yards to opponents in five of their last six games played.
Mahomes has gone over 23.5 rushing yards in three straight matchups. He’s very elusive and is great at extending plays when pass protection breaks down. This often leads to improvised scrambles that generate positive rushing yardage.
We’re going to continue investing in Patrick Mahomes props and bet on the two-time NFL MVP to not throw an interception. It’s pretty juiced at -146 odds, however, the Chiefs’ franchise quarterback has only thrown two interceptions in 2025.
Washington has forced the second fewest turnovers (3) in the league this season. The Commanders have logged two interceptions. The last time Washington intercepted an opposing quarterback came back in Week 5 against Justin Herbert’s Los Angeles Chargers.
Playing in a prime-time road game against a Chiefs offense that is back to full strength is an unlikely scenario for Washington to log its third interception. Lay the juice and bet on Mahomes to not throw an interception.
Rashee Rice dominated Las Vegas during his season debut in Week 7. The third-year wideout hauled in seven receptions for 42 yards and two touchdowns on 10 targets.
Washington’s pass defense has been atrocious. The Commanders have allowed six touchdowns to wide receivers in 2025, while giving up three passing touchdowns on the road in Dallas last week.
As long as Rice is on the field, Patrick Mahomes is going to look his direction. Kansas City shouldn’t have much of an issue moving the football into the red zone, setting up Rice for his third touchdown in two games.
Bet on Rashee Rice’s Anytime Touchdown Scorer prop at -105 odds.
