Raiders @ Browns: More or Less Contest
Recommended Prop Pick:
Derek Carr more than 250.5 passing yards and Nick Chubb more than 90.5 rushing yards
The Browns are going to enter this game likely ravaged with Covid injuries, but even if they were healthy, this would be a solid prop on Carr. He has gone over this number in nine of his games this season. He will be facing a Browns defense that has struggled against quarterbacks. Just last week, they allowed Tyler Huntley to carve them up for 270 passing yards. They also allowed Joe Burrow to get them for 282 passing yards back in Week 9. This passing attack will be a tough matchup for this Browns' secondary and Carr should be able to get more than the total here, especially considering the Browns have allowed the ninth-fewest rushing yards to running backs on the season.
This is a number we would typically play on Nick Chubb regardless of the situation, but the fact that Kareem Hunt is expected to miss this game against the Raiders makes it an even better play. Chub has gone over this total in six of nine games this season. He will be facing a Raiders defense that has allowed an average of 101 rushing yards per game to running backs over the previous four weeks. They have also allowed the seventh-most rushing yards per game to running backs on the season by allowing nearly 102 yards per game.

Bears @ Vikings: More or Less Contest
Recommended Prop Pick:
Kirk Cousins more than 260.5 passing yards and Justin Fields more than 195.5 passing yards
I have been wrong on Cousins a couple of times this season, so take this contest as a grain of salt. Cousins has gotten over this total in three of his previous five games. The fact that the Vikings have played so many close games also leads me to want to play more than here. The Bears have four quarterbacks to get over this total, including allowing a 341-yard passing day from Aaron Rodgers last week.
Fields has not been good in 2021, but he does have a good shot to get over this total on Monday night. He has hit this mark in three of his previous five games and is fresh off a 224-yard performance against the Packers last Sunday night. Now, he gets to face an abysmal Vikings defense that has allowed an average of 282 passing yards per game to quarterbacks over the previous four weeks. The Bears will also be underdogs in this game, which could add for some additional passing.

Vikings @ Bears: Touchdown Dance Contest
Recommended Prop Pick:
Dalvin Cook, Justin Jefferson, and Darnell Mooney to combine for more than 1.5 touchdowns
Dalvin Cook starts this contest as he has scored a total of six rushing touchdowns this season and has also scored four touchdowns in his previous four games played. The Bears have allowed a total of 11 touchdowns to running backs this season, but have also allowed four total scores to backs over their previous four weeks. Cook will be involved in the running and passing game and makes a ton of sense here given how many times he will touch the ball.
Justin Jefferson has been ridiculous this season as he has scored the fifth-most touchdowns (8) and been targeted the fifth-most times (127) among all wide receivers. He will likely be participating in this game without fellow wide receiver Adam Thielen, or at the very least, a hobbled Thielen, which should certainly increase his target count in this game. The Bears are entering this game having allowed a total of five touchdowns to wide receivers over the previous four weeks as well.
Darnell Mooney or David Montgomery could be used in this contest, but we are going to discuss Mooney since the Vikings' pass defense has been so horrendous. Over the previous four weeks, the Vikings have allowed the most receiving yards to wide receivers and have allowed a total of eight touchdowns (two rushing and six receiving) to the position. Mooney has gotten into the end zone four times this season and has managed to get into the end zone via a rushing touchdown. With the Bears expected to be trailing and passing the ball more in this game, Mooney makes a ton of sense to get into the end zone here.
