Giants vs. Chiefs Odds
Daniel Jones o25.5 rushing yards (-110)
Saquon Barkley is once again listed as out tonight for the New York Giants. Barkley’s absence has not necessarily impacted Jones’ rushing numbers either of the last two weeks, but it is worth noting that the Chiefs have one of the worst run defenses in football. Entering play on Monday Night Football, Kansas City is allowing 4.7 yards-per-carry, which is the fourth-worst number in the entire league. Jones has gone over 25 rushing yards in five of his seven games this season. There is a good chance that this prop cashes tonight for bettors.
Daniel Jones o253.5 passing yards (-110)
Bettors should grab as much stock as they possibly can in this contest on the offensive side of the ball for New York. Above, we mentioned the Chiefs’ struggles in the run game. They have also allowed the fifth-highest passer rating to opposing quarterbacks in the NFL. Signal callers have a sterling 13-to-5 touchdown to interception ratio against Kansas City this year for 1,930 yards in only seven games. Kansas City has been burned for 28 plays of 20-plus yards and a league-high nine completions of 40-plus yards. Even having played one less game than most other teams, Kansas City is the only defensive unit to allow more than seven 40-plus yard passing plays in 2021. Jones has not hit 254 yards passing since Week 4 against the New Orleans Saints, but he has a great opportunity to put an end to the drought this evening.
Travis Kelce 100+ receiving yards (+200)
Travis Kelce has led the Chiefs in receiving three times during the first seven weeks of the season, totaling 109 yards against the Baltimore Ravens, 104 yards against the Los Angeles Chargers, and 99 yards against the Washington Football Team. The implied odds on a +200 wager are 33.3 percent. Kelce has hit 99-plus yards three times in seven games—a 42.9 percent hit rate. Patrick Mahomes and company have a lot to prove if they want to silence doubters after an embarrassing 27-3 loss last week to the Tennessee Titans. The Chiefs have a great opportunity to take advantage of a New York pass defense that has allowed 14 touchdowns and a 99.6 passer rating to opposing quarterbacks this season. Do not bet the house on anything with +200 odds, but this play has tremendous value and a realistic chance to hit.
Darrel Williams – Anytime Touchdown Scorer (-115)
Darrel Williams totaled only 20 yards on the ground in last week’s loss to the Titans, but the game script was awful from a running back perspective. In Week 6, he had a difficult matchup against a strong Washington rush defense, but managed 62 yards on the ground and two rushing touchdowns. Tonight’s contest against the Giants will be, by far, his most favorable game script in recent weeks. Williams should have plenty of touches against a Giants defense allowing 4.4 yards-per-carry. Touchdown scorers are always a bit random, but bettors should expect Williams to have at least a couple of chances on the goal line tonight. This market price is worth the risk.
