Monday Night Football Player Props

Diggs and Ja’Marr Chase Under 178.5 total receiving yards (-120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Despite ranking fifth in the league in receiving yards (1,325), Diggs is only averaging 88.3 yards per game this season. The star Bills wideout has been struggling lately, posting an average of just 41 yards over his last three contests.

Chase charged out of the gates after returning from an injury in December, posting games with 97 and 119 receiving yards. However, he's turned in performances with just 60 and 79 yards over the last two weeks. His season per-game average is 87.3 yards per game. He’ll face a Bills defense that's allowed just 193 passing yards per contest over the team's last three outings.

Total points in second quarter Over 14.5 (+110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Buffalo is averaging 9.8 points in the second quarter during 2022-23, making it the Bills' highest-producing quarter. They scored 14 points during that quarter in Week 15 against the Miami Dolphins, who added 10 of their own to help rocket past this total. The Bills’ defense is giving up 4.9 points in the 15 minutes before halftime. 

Cincinnati enjoys the second quarter too while posting 8.3 points per contest in that frame, which is also the team's best quarter. The Bengals' defense is allowing its most points in the second frame as well at 8.1. Cincinnati has combined with its opponents to eclipse this total in nine matchups during 2022-23, including five of the squad's last seven.

Burrow to have 250-plus passing yards and two-plus passing TDs (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Burrow is averaging 284 passing yards per game in 2022-23. He's cashed the Over on this prop nine times. That includes torching the New England Patriots to the tune of 375 passing yards. Buffalo has given up 250-plus yards through the air this season to Mike White, Jacoby Brissett, and Kenny Pickett, among others. 

The Bengals’ signal-caller has tossed at least two touchdown passes in each of his last four outings. He's played just four games in 2022-23 without notching multiple touchdown passes. The Bills have been stingy, giving up just 1.2 passing touchdowns per game. However, Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa managed to record two scores against them in Week 15.
