Want some prop bets to wager on for the final game of Week 6? You've come to the right place.

Here are my top prop bets for Monday night's action.

Monday Night Football Best Prop Bets for Broncos vs. Chargers

  • Russell Wilson OVER 13.5 Rushing Yards (-115)
  • Justin Herbert UNDER 261.5 Passing Yards (-115)
  • Austin Ekeler OVER 59.5 Rushing Yards (-114)

Russell Wilson OVER 13.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

Russell Wilson has begun to run the ball more than what we've been used to seeing in recent history. He has at least four carries in three straight games, and he's surpassed this total in all three of those contests.

It's going to help Wilson that the Chargers rank dead last in the NFL in yards per carry this season, allowing teams to gain an average of 5.8 yards per rush.

Justin Herbert UNDER 260.5 Passing Yards (-115)

Justin Herbert has a tough matchup ahead of him, as he and the Chargers have to face one of the best secondaries in the NFL. The Broncos rank second in opponent yards per pass attempt, giving up just 5.2 yards per throw. The Chargers may win, but passing yards are going to be hard to come by.

Austin Ekeler OVER 60.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

The best game plan for the Chargers, will be to run the football. The weakness of this Broncos defense is their ability to stop the run. They rank 20th in opponent yards per carry, allowing an average of 4.7 yards per rush.

If they're smart, they'll lean on Austin Ekeler and we'll see him go over his rushing yards total.
