Here are some selected prop bets from Bovada for Monday Night Football action between the Carolina Panthers and Philadelphia Eagles. Game time is 8:30 PM EDT and it will be aired on ESPN.
Cam Newton 239.5 Total Passing Yards
The last two weeks, Cam Newton has had 255 and 284 passing yards, and he’s had 250 or more in four of his five last contests. Philadelphia has allowed 256.3 passing yards per game, making this a nice OVER bet. Newton is projected to have 269.02 yards by SB Nation.
Cam Newton 20 Total Completions
Cam Newton had 29 completions last week, but he was under 20 the two weeks prior. Given that the first bet is an ‘over’ on passing yardage, it makes good sense to expect this to be an OVER, as well. Cam Newton should be able to get over 20, though replicating his 29 completion effort Oct. 12 is unlikely.
Cam Newton 1.5 Total TDs
This could still be an under. SB Nation predicts 1.32 TDs, and that makes bettors prefer the UNDER on this one, and I do, too.
Mark Sanchez 257.5 Total Passing Yards
Last week, Mark Sanchez threw for 202 yards. This week, SB Nation is projecting Sanchez to barely eclipse 257 yards, with a 259.75 yard projection. That seems off, and I like the UNDER on this one. The fact he was so far off last week, and that the Panthers hold opponents to 246.2 yards per game makes this a nice value.
Mark Sanchez 1.5 Total TDs
With SB Nation going over on this one, it seems tempting to do so, but this is actually a bet I’d prefer to leave alone. If one were to be wagered, it would be in agreement with the over, but it seems far less certain than other prop bets here.
