Monday’s lone NFL contest will feature Jimmy Garoppolo and the Las Vegas Raiders against Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions. Both teams are coming off of blowout losses in Week 7, and both teams are dealing with a myriad of injuries to key players, making it difficult to find an edge on a side in this contest.
Ahead of kickoff, the Lions are favored by 7.5 points on the spread. The game total is set at over/under 46.5 points. If choosing to wager instead on the player prop market, we have three prop leans for tonight’s matchup!

Raiders vs. Lions Player Props for MNF
- Sam LaPorta o44.5 Receiving Yards
- Jared Goff u1.5 Passing Touchdowns
- Aidan Hutchinson More Than 0.75 Sacks
Sam LaPorta o44.5 Receiving Yards (-120), BetMGM
This season, Sam LaPorta has yet to have fewer than 36 receiving yards in a single game, meaning that he is consistently competitive at this market number. Twice in the last five weeks, LaPorta has received double-digit targets. Since Week 2, LaPorta has eclipsed this market number five times in six contests. He has been lining up in the slot more frequently on offense for the Lions the last two weeks, which has only helped him draw mismatched coverages. There is a slight concern that LaPorta could be forced into more pass protection on Monday with Detroit’s offensive line missing two starters, but this is still a worthwhile risk with news that Amon-Ra St. Brown was a late addition to the injury report with an illness.
Jared Goff u1.5 Passing Touchdowns (+145), Bet365
Even with a healthy offensive line, Jared Goff has struggled to throw for multiple touchdowns this season. In seven games played, Goff has thrown for 1 touchdown or fewer four times. On Monday, he draws an ostensibly favorable matchup against a weak Las Vegas defense, but the Raiders secondary unit has played reasonably well of late, ranking 8th in Dropback EPA/play and 8th in Dropback Success Rate since Week 4. Missing two starting offensive lineman and having his top pass catcher reportedly under the weather makes this worth a small stab at the price.
NFL DFS Pick’em
Aidan Hutchinson More Than 0.75 Sacks, PrizePicks
Entering play on Monday, Aidan Hutchinson ranks 7th out of 104 edge rushers this season in pass rush grade, according to PFF. He has 4.5 sacks through his team’s first seven games, despite not getting home either of the last two weeks against the Ravens and Buccaneers. He has a much more favorable matchup in Week 8 against Jimmy Garoppolo, who loves to hold on to the ball. Per NFL Next Gen Stats, Garoppolo ranks 27th in average time to throw this season, which has led to him taking 7 sacks in his last three games. Hutchinson has a good chance to end his mini drought in this spot.
