Monday Night Football Prop Bets: Expert Picks & Predictions for Lions vs. Packers Tonight

Monday Night Football wraps up Week 2 in the NFL as the Detroit Lions take on the Green Bay Packers. With the start of the NFL season, the Awesemo team has launched the NFL Player Props Tool, covering each of the major prop categories for each week throughout 2021’s season. We will analyze all the odds at various sportsbooks to identify the best NFL player props available based on the Tool’s projected values and odds of success. Below are three of the best NFL prop bets for tonight’s Lions vs. Packers Monday Night Football matchup.

Week 2 Monday Night Football NFL Player Props

Amon-Ra St. Brown Under 3.5 Receptions (-110, William Hill)

The Lions are going to be without Tyrell Williams, yet the Awesemo NFL Player Props Tool anticipates the workload will not shift to rookie Amon-Ra St. Brown tonight. The Props Tool projects St. Brown for 2.39 receptions on Monday Night Football, setting up a -110 wager on the under at 3.5 catches. The highest winning probability among tonight’s player props, the under has a 78% expected win rate and 48.7% return on investment. St. Brown averaged 6.83 receptions per game in his 2020 junior season and 5.93 receptions per game through his collegiate career at USC. As the Lions receiving corps is already depleted, attention will be on both Quintez Cephus and St. Brown while their new rapport with Jared Goff has yet to be tested. Take the minimal juice on the under.

D’Andre Swift Over 39.5 Yards Rushing (-110, William Hill)

D’Andre Swift is fresh off 100 yards from scrimmage in Week 1, and the Awesemo NFL Player Props Tool projects Swift for 45.63 yards rushing on Monday Night Football, well over his 39.5-yard line. Wagering the over on Swift’s rushing yardage carries a 64% expected win rate and 22.6% return on investment. In his four starts last season (13 games played) Swift averaged 61.75 yards rushing per game, and he was one of the few bright spots for Detroit in a blowout loss last week against San Francisco. The lack of receiver depth indicates a heavy workload for him tonight, so Swift is in a great position with a low prop line at minimal juice.

Aaron Jones Over 16.5 Yards Receiving (-110, DraftKings)

Aaron Jones draws one of the friendlier player prop lines on Monday Night Football, with 16.5 yards receiving. The Awesemo NFL Player Props Tool projects Jones for 29.02 yards receiving, giving the over a 76% expected win rate and 44.7% return on investment. In his 14 starts last season Jones caught 47 passes on 63 targets for 355 yards receiving, averaging 7.6 yards per catch, and 3.4 receptions per game. Hammer the over here.
