Week 5 Monday Night Football NFL Player Prop Bets

Mo Alie-Cox Over 17.5 Yards Receiving (-110, DraftKings)

With Alie-Cox averaging 18.5 yards per game this season, the props tool gives the over a 63% expected win rate. Alie-Cox is projected for 25.13 yards on 2.09 receptions, and the over has a 20% expected return on investment. The Ravens defense is 14th in overall pass DVOA and 19th in pass DVOA against opposing tight ends. Baltimore’s defense also ranks among the bottom of the league, with 86.75 yards surrendered to tight ends per game. Coming off a two-touchdown performance in which he had 17.4% of the Colts’ yards, Alie-Cox is live to his the over at minimal juice.

Sammy Watkins Over 39.5 Yards Receiving (-115, Caesars)

Sammy Watkins has emerged as a top-two target in Baltimore, and the props tool predicts the trend will continue on Monday Night Football. Watkins is averaging 64.3 yards per game this season, and the NFL Player Props Tool projects a 61% expected win rate on the over.

The Colts have allowed just 161.5 yards per game to opposing wide receivers, while Watkins should draw the assignment of Kenny Moore, who is allowing 4.6 receptions per game and 11 yards per reception surrendered. Given a reduced yardage line with palatable house juice, get the over while it is low.

Carson Wentz Over 9.5 Yards Rushing (-113, FanDuel)
