The Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2) host the New York Giants (2-5) on Monday Night Football to cap off Week 8. We found the best MNF prop bets and player props from NFL betting sites involving Russell Wilson, Daniel Jones, Malik Nabors, Najee Harris, and George Pickens.
The Steelers are -6 favorites, but the points total is 36.5 over/under which is nearly five points lower than the closest other totals on the board. Oddsmakers anticipate a low-scoring affair with one of the best defenses in the NFL up against one of the worst offenses.
The Steelers have a smothering defense that allows only 14.4 points per game, which is ranked #2. The Giants average 14.1 ppg as the second lowest-scoring team in the league. The Giants’ offense looked atrocious over the last two games by scoring 10 total points.
On offense, the Steelers average only 23.0 ppg, but they averaged 34.5 ppg over the last two games including 37 points in a first start by Russell Wilson.
Best MNF Prop Bets: Touchdowns
Running back Najee Harris only scored two rushing touchdowns for the Steelers this season, but he’s the consensus favorite to score the first touchdown at +450 odds, an anytime touchdown at +110 odds, or two or more touchdowns at +700 odds.
Tight end Pat Freiermuth leads the Steelers with two receiving touchdowns. He’s +240 odds to score.
Wide receiver George Pickens scored his only touchdown this season last week with Wilson under center. We like Pickens to score an anytime touchdown at +150 as one of our best MNF prop bets.
PLAYER | FIRST TD ODDS | ANYTIME TD ODDS | 2+ TD ODDS |
---|---|---|---|
Najee Harris | +450 | +110 | +700 |
George Pickens | +600 | +150 | +1000 |
Malik Nabers | +900 | +185 | +1500 |
Devin Singletary | +1100 | +270 | +2500 |
Pat Freiermuth | +950 | +240 | +2200 |
Russell Wilson | +1400 | +400 | +3500 |
Wan'Dale Robinson | +1900 | +425 | +5000 |
Daniel Jones | +2000 | +500 | +6500 |
Daniel Jones tossed only six touchdowns this season for the Giants, but rookie WR Malik Nabers caught three of them and Wan’Dale Robinson has two. If Jones throws a touchdown this week, Nabers will be his most-likely target. Nabers is +185 odds to score an anytime touchdown, and Robinson is +425 odds.
Giants vs Steelers Player Props: Passing
Jones has four games with zero touchdowns, including each of the last two games. He also has three instances tossing two touchdowns in a game. If you think Jones will toss multiple touchdowns, that pays +275 odds. Jones is favorite at -215 odds to throw more than one touchdown, but +165 odds to throw less than one. We’re eying the under 0.5 touchdowns.
Jones averages 206 passing yards per game in seven starts this season. His passing total is 198.5 yards on MNF, and we like the under as one of our best MNF prop bets even though he posted four games with over 205+ yards this season.
QUARTERBACK | PASSING PROP BET | OVER ODDS | UNDER ODDS |
---|---|---|---|
Russell Wilson | 199.5 Yards O/U | -115 | -115 |
Russell Wilson | 1.5 TDs O/U | +160 | -215 |
Daniel Jones | 198.5 Yards O/U | -115 | -115 |
Daniel Jones | 0.5 TDs O/U | -215 | +165 |
The Giants have a good pass defense that limits opponents to 179.4 passing yards per game. Wilson has a total of 199.5 yards on MNF.
Wilson looked shaky in the first half last week, but played much better in the second half. He finished his lone start of the season with 264 passing yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He also scored a rushing touchdown. Wilson to connect on more than 1.5 touchdowns pays +165 odds. Three or more touchdowns pays out +750 odds.
Giants vs Steelers Player Props: Receiving
Pickens averages 67.7 receiving yards per game for the Steelers, but his total is only 58.5 which he exceeded three times. He tallied two 100-yard games this season and if he pulls out a third, it pays out +475 odds.
Wilson targeted Pickens nine times last week, compared to only three targets to Freiermuth. Pickens had five receptions for 111 yards including a 44-yard catch. We like Pickens to go over in yards this week as one of our favorite player props.
PLAYER | RECEIVING PROP BET | OVER ODDS | UNDER ODDS |
---|---|---|---|
Malik Nabers | 66.5 Yards O/U | -110 | -120 |
George Pickens | 58.5 Yards O/U | -115 | -115 |
Wan'Dale Robinson | 33.5 Yards O/U | -115 | -115 |
Pat Freiermuth | 26.5 Yards O/U | -115 | -115 |
Giants vs Steelers Player Props: Rushing
The Steelers have the ninth-best rushing attack in the league that averages 134 yards per game. Harris will go up against the eighth-worst rushing defense in the league. The Giants allow 138.1 yards per game.
Harris averages 68.3 yards per game. His total is 62.5, which he surpassed five times this season. We like Harris to hit the over as one of our best MNF prop bets.
Harris has also been hot with back-to-back 100-yard games. If you think he can make it three in a row, a prop bet for 100+ yards pays out +500 odds. We like Harris to reach the century mark once again as one of our favorite player props.
PLAYER | RUSHING PROP BET | OVER ODDS | UNDER ODDS |
---|---|---|---|
Najee Harris | 62.5 Yards O/U | -115 | -120 |
Daniel Jones | 25.5 Yards O/U | -110 | -120 |
