The NFL gave us a lot of blowouts this weekend besides a couple of games. Monday Night Football Week 8 has another blowout that seems to be brewing. As the Washington Commanders travel to Arrowhead to take on the Kansas City Chiefs, will they be able to keep this a close game? 

Here are my plays for Monday Night Football Week 8.

Check out the latest episodes of the JCPod for my full breakdowns and analysis. All odds are a mix/the best number from FanDuel, DraftKings, and BetMGM.

Straights

That spread for tonight’s game is just too big for me. While I do think the Chiefs will win (and could even win big), I just don’t want to stress over the points. No Jayden Daniels should make this really easy to pick the Chiefs, but the fact that it’s a primetime game has me just a tad nervous. However, this was the weeks of the blowout in the NFL, so maybe the Chiefs just win big??

I just can’t land the plane on a decision, so I’m probably just gonna stay away and if anything, maybe try to get a better number live. 

Props

Terry McLaurin over 3.5 receptions (-130)

While he may not play all of the snaps in his return game, I do expect for Terry McLaurin to appear on at least 50% of offensive snaps. If he does that, there’s a good chance he should be able to get at least four to six targets.

Rashee Rice over 6.5 receptions (+130)

With Rice back for the Chiefs, I’ll look for him to be their most used players on offense. I will not be shocked if we see him get about seven to ten receptions per game the rest of the way this season. 

Patrick Mahomes over 20.5 rush yards (-112)

With this being a primetime game, you just know that Patrick Mahomes is going to use his legs. Anytime I can get this number at under 25 yards, there’s a good chance I’m gonna take it. Mahomes has also hit this over in three straight games. 

Marcus Mariota anytime touchdown (+320)

When looking for a touchdown scorer for the Commanders, I like for Marcus Mariota to sneak one in around goal line.

Rashee Rice anytime touchdown (-105)

There’s a good chance that the Chiefs will be putting up close to 30 points in this game. With that being the case, I like for Rice to be amongst the few guys scoring. 

Parnell’s Nasty Boy Parlay Play of the Day

For tonight’s Nasty Boy, we have three player props and a touchdown scorer

I was able to get odds of +1128:

  • Rashee Rice anytime touchdown (-105)
  • Terry McLaurin over 3.5 receptions (-130)
  • Rashee Rice over 6.5 receptions (+130)
  • Patrick Mahomes over 20.5 rush yards (-112)

Let’s have a DAY! PLEASE GAMBLE RESPONSIBLY
