The New England Patriots travel up to Buffalo to take on the Bills in a game that will undoubtedly have a massive impact on the AFC East race. This should be a great game, and there is an opportunity to make some money on various betting platforms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Five Best Monday Night Football Prop Bets &#8211; Patriots vs Bills<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h4><strong>Underdog Fantasy &#8211; Rhamondre Stevenson: OVER 44.5 Rush Yards<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The New England Patriots are a run-first team, and they\u2019ll probably try to establish the crap out of the ground game. The Buffalo Bills have one of the best overall defenses in the league, but their rushing defense is a bit weaker than their passing defense. With high winds and cold temperatures expected throughout the night, it\u2019s very safe to project a run-heavy attack for New England.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Wind Advisory for Niagara, Orleans, Northern Erie, Genesee, and Wyoming Counties.

With that in mind, it makes sense to bet the over on whichever running back has the lower prop. In this case, that\u2019s Stevenson with 44.5 rushing yards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Underdog Fantasy &#8211; Jakobi Meyers: UNDER 43.5 Receiving Yards<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Monday night is not looking like a good day for former undrafted free agent Jakobi Meyers. In addition to the previously-discussed weather and gamescript issues, the Buffalo Bills have perhaps the best pass defense in football. Their -0.11 EPA\/dropback is second to only the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/cardinals\/\" target=\"_self\">Arizona Cardinals<\/a>, which means the Patriots will probably have trouble moving the ball through the air on the rare occasions they actually throw the ball.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meyers has the highest receiving prop of any Patriot, which is a good reason to fade him in the first place. However, he\u2019s also clearly been outplayed by Kendrick Bourne in recent weeks. If I\u2019m noticing this, then you can bet Bill Belichick has as well. Bourne will probably eat into some of Meyers\u2019 opportunities moving forward, which makes Meyers\u2019 odds of reaching 44 receiving yards even lower.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Kendrick Bourne is special.

It could, however, encourage the mobile quarterback to make plays with his legs. Allen is one of the most dangerous rushers in the league, and New England\u2019s linebackers aren\u2019t exactly the fastest grouping in football. When factoring in Kyle Dugger\u2019s absence, this makes Allen hitting the over on this prop bet all the more probable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Watching Josh Allen run what was supposed to be a QB power on 3rd and short.. it just confirms what I\u2019ve been thinking QBs are different..And you have to accept what they bring to the table.

The Bills and Patriots both have the firepower to put up big numbers in perfect conditions, but these will not be perfect conditions. Even if both teams are able to move the ball better than I expect, they\u2019ll probably have to do it via the run. Running the ball effectively leads to longer drives, which means fewer points over the course of the game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[pickup_prop id=&#8221;16243&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Pickup &#8211; Mac Jones: Higher Completion Percentage<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mac Jones spent his collegiate years in Alabama, which means he doesn\u2019t have that much experience with playing in bad weather. Truthfully, his only real experience in this area came during last week\u2019s win over the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/titans\/\" target=\"_self\">Tennessee Titans<\/a>. While it wasn\u2019t his best day at the office, the quarterback still managed to complete an impressive 71.9% of his passes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jones is a very accurate passer, and his safe style of play naturally lends itself to a higher completion percentage. Allen, meanwhile, is more willing to pass up the easy completions for big plays downfield. For the sake of this bet and this bet alone, that style of play is not what you want in a quarterback.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[pickup_prop id=&#8221;16159&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Main photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"mPPdfn1bQRNxm_8L_QQRGg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1352089829\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'mPPdfn1bQRNxm_8L_QQRGg',sig:'BnnKxHDMaCnbs3Vu60r7cnk01Z-H1EBwSfzdaPxU2KA=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1352089829',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday Night Football Prop Bets: With the Buffalo Bills facing off against the New England Patriots, a few bets are likely to pay off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2376,"featured_media":125653,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,5,32539],"tags":[7702,5138,2599,7261,7394,5295,7991],"class_list":["post-125652","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bills","category-patriots","category-nfl-betting","tag-bills-featured","tag-jakobi-meyers","tag-josh-allen","tag-mac-jones","tag-new-england-patriots-news","tag-nfl-betting","tag-rhamondre-stevenson"],"modified_by":"Michael Kovacs, ADMIN","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125652","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125652"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125652\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/125653"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125652"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
