Monday Night Football in Week Eight finishes off a weekend that was full of some very shocking finishes. We also got some season altering games yet again as well. Monday Night Football gives us a good one to close out the week, as the Chicago Bears head out to Seattle to take on the Seahawks

Here are my plays for Monday Night Football in Week Eight.

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

Straights

Seahawks -3 (-120)

Home field played a huge factor for me in picking who I was going to take in this game. I think that these are both really good football teams, so it only makes sense that this is a game that is around a three point spread. I think that both of these teams also got two great additions to their teams in Quenton Nelson and Jeffrey Simmons. For me though, it ultimately comes down to the Seattle Seahawks defense and the home field. I think that this will be a close game where eventually the Seattle Seahawks will be able to hold down the Bears just enough to win this game by about four to six points.

I will admit, however, I am a be nervous because of just how damn good this Bears offense is under Ben Johnson.

Player Props

Jaxon Smith-Njigba over 100.5 receiving yards (-110)

The Bears have been struggling a little bit at their defensive back position as of late, which means that JSN is not guy who you would want to run into. I look for him to have a big night, having 10 receptions for around 110 yards and one touchdown.

Colston Loveland over 40+ receiving yards (-120)

I think that the Bears will struggle at times to run the ball tonight against this very stout Seattle defense. Along with that, Colston Loveland has been seeming like the number one option ever since Caleb Williams has come back from injury.

As for anytime touchdown scorers, I like three tonight: Zach Charbonnet (+145), Jaxon Smith-Njigba (-110), & D’Andre Swift (-115).

Parnell’s Nasty Boy Parlay Play of the Day

Back to back weeks now we were one leg away from hitting a Sunday Nasty Boy. Let’s see if we can get lucky and go four out of four today.

I was able to get odds of +1025 boosted to +1538 with a 50% boost:

  • Colston Loveland over 40+ receiving yards (-120)
  • D’Andre Swift anytime touchdown (-115)
  • Zach Charbonnet anytime touchdown (+145)
  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba over 100.5 receiving yards (-110)

Let’s have a DAY! PLEASE GAMBLE RESPONSIBLY!
