Week 10 of the NFL will wrap up on Monday Night Football when the Philadelphia Eagles host the Washington Commanders in an NFC East showdown.

In this article, I'm going to breaking down my three favorite prop bets for the game. Let's dive into them.

Monday Night Football Best Prop bets for Commanders vs. Eagles

  • Antonio Gibson OVER 34.5 Rushing Yards
  • A.J. Brown OVER 70.5 Receiving Yards
  • Taylor Heinicke Longest Completion UNDER 33.5 Yards

Antonio Gibson OVER 34.5 Rushing Yards

The Eagles biggest weakness is their inability to stop the run. They head into NFL Week 10 ranking 29th in opponent yards per carry, allowing an average of 5.1 yards per rush.

It can be difficult to know which Commanders running back to bet on, but I'll bank on Antonio Gibson over Brian Robinson in this spot. Gibson played 58% of the offensive snaps last week, compared to Robinson who played 44% of snaps. Gibson is also averaging more yards per carry this season at 3.7 compared to Robinson's 3.3.

I think he can have a big game on Monday night.

AJ Brown OVER 70.5 Receiving Yards

70.5 is a disrespectful receiving yards total for A.J. Brown. He is averaging 89.8 yards per game this season, almost 20 yards more than his set total on Monday night. In the Eagles Week 3 game against the Commanders, Brown hauled in five receptions for 85 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets.

A repeat performance on Monday night will cash this bet for us.

Taylor Heinicke Longest Completion UNDER 34.5 Yards

The Eagles do a great job keeping the game infront of them preventing many long completions. They rank second in the NFL in opponent yards per completion at 8.4.

Carson Wentz was the quarterback for Washington in the first meeting between these two teams, and he averaged only 2.9 yards per pass. I think we're safe banking on Heinicke to not have an explosive throws for over 34 yards.
