Raiders vs Lions NFL Player Props: 2 best bets for MNF

Monday Night Football in Week 8 has the Detroit Lions looking to bounce back at home against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders are banged up at key positions with Maxx Crosby limited in practice all week with a knee injury, CB Nate Hobbs missed 4 weeks with an ankle injury, and Marcus Peters was limited in practice on Friday with a back injury. Jimmy Garoppolo is expected to return to the lineup this week.

On the Detroit side, guard Jonah Jackson, center Frank Ragnow, and RB David Montgomery were all non-participants in practice. You can read all of our Week 8 NFL predictions, but now let’s look at my favorite NFL player props for MNF.

Jahmyr Gibbs (DET) over 24.5 receiving yards (-114)

Line available on FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.

Rookie RB Jahmyr Gibbs is coming off his highest snap share of the season (87%) and although it was a blowout loss to the Ravens, he put up some big numbers. Gibbs saw 10 targets for 9 receptions and 58 receiving yards. The rookie RB should be in for another high-volume Game with David Montgomery likely to be still sidelined and the Raiders defense allowing 7 targets and 5 receptions per Game to opposing RBs.

The Raiders play zone coverage at an above-average rate this season and have excelled at it. I see this as an opportunity for Jared Goff to dump the ball off to Gibbs when necessary and take what the defense gives them. 0.5U

Michael Mayer (LV) over 21.5 receiving yards (-110)

Line available on Bet365 Sportsbook at time of publishing.

Jimmy Garoppolo is expected to be back under center for Las Vegas after missing last week’s Game against Chicago. We’ve really only seen 2 full Games of Jimmy G at QB and Mayer with starting TE snaps and in those Games Mayer averaged 3.5 receptions and 57 receiving yards.

This Lions defense is allowing the 5th-most targets per game to opposing TEs and the 4th-most receptions this season. Austin Hooper has been relegated to backup snaps and Mayer should shine on Monday night with Garoppolo returning. This is a 1.5U play for me given how low it is and you can play it up to 24.5.

Mo Salah: ‘I won’t leave Liverpool because Jurgen Klopp is leaving’

Image
Mohamed Salah has insisted Jurgen Klopp‘s decision to leave Liverpool won’t impact his future with the club, amid speculation that key names could depart. Though the dust has settled to an extent following Klopp’s shock announcement back in January, there remains an uncertainty around Liverpool. Fenway Sports Group are close to appointing Michael Edwards in a senior role to oversee Football operations, while Richard Hughes is expected to follow as sporting director. But with Klopp’s successor not yet established, there could be concerns over key players within the squad deciding it is time to move elsewhere. Salah and Virgil van Dijk are chief among those with doubts over their futures, given their contracts expire in 2025 – the captain was already forced to dismiss speculation after admitting he “didn’t know” whether he saw himself as part of the next reign. Speaking to Jamie Carragher in an interview for Sky Sports , however, ...
