Best Bills vs. Bengals Player Prop Bets for Monday Night Football
What kind of performances can we expect on Monday Night Football from Stefon Diggs, Ja’Marr Chase, and Joe Burrow? Follow along as our NFL betting expert, Nick Galaida, breaks down his three favorite NFL prop bets for the Buffalo Bills vs. Cincinnati Bengals
The Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals will conclude Week 17 of the NFL season this evening at Paycor Stadium in a battle between two teams still fighting for the top seed in the AFC playoff picture. Oddsmakers are anticipating a tightly-contested affair, pricing Buffalo as 2.5-point road favorites on the spread. However, multiple key injuries for both teams make it a risk to bet the side or total prior to kickoff. Instead, bettors should turn their attention to the player prop market.

Bills vs. Bengals Player Props
- Stefon Diggs o73.5 receiving yards
- Ja’Marr Chase o80.5 receiving yards
- Joe Burrow o280.5 passing yards
Stefon Diggs o73.5 receiving yards (-110)
Per EdgHouse, Stefon Diggs has eclipsed this number in 10-of-15 games this season. Tonight, he will have an extremely favorable matchup against a Cincinnati secondary unit that ranks 23rd in dropback EPA since Chidobe Awuzie last played a full allotment of snaps in Week 7. On Monday Night Football, Diggs will primarily be lined up across from Eli Apple and Cam Taylor-Britt, both of whom rank well below league average in coverage this fall, per Pro Football Focus. Take the over here.
Ja’Marr Chase o80.5 receiving yards (-120)
Ahead of kickoff, safety Jordan Poyer is listed as questionable for the Bills. Buffalo’s defense is already missing one starting safety, with Micah Hyde on injured reserve, and could be extremely vulnerable deep down-the-field this evening if Poyer is unable to suit-up. Ja’Marr Chase has eclipsed this market number in 6-of-11 games this fall, and will be the top target in a Cincinnati passing attack that could be without one of their most important players for this matchup. This is a worthwhile risk for bettors.
Joe Burrow o280.5 passing yards (-115)
Entering play on Monday, Joe Burrow ranks 8th among qualified signal callers in QBR and 7th in EPA per play. Per Pro Football Focus, he has attempted the 5th-most pass attempts of 20-plus yards down-the-field this season, and has a 7-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio on such throws, per Pro Football Focus. Before making this wager, bettors should wait for the final list of inactives to see if safety Jordan Poyer will be on the field. If Poyer is inactive, Burrow and company could be in for a big night.
