Monday Night Football Best Prop Bets for Dolphins vs. Saints
By Peter Dewey
The Miami Dolphins look to extend their winning streak to seven when they take on the New Orleans Saints and rookie quarterback Ian Book on Monday Night Football.
Miami is now a 3-point favorite at WynnBET Sportsbook, but Saints head coach Sean Payton has been terrific as an underdog in his coaching career.
Here are three prop bets to consider for Monday night’s showdown in New Orleans over at WynnBET Sportsbook:
Best Prop Bets for Dolphins vs. Saints
- Alvin Kamara OVER 26.5 Receiving Yards (-125)
- Alvin Kamara Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+100)
- Jaylen Waddle Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+175)
Alvin Kamara OVER 26.5 Receiving Yards (-125)
Our own Ben Heisler discussed this prop on the Bet & Breakfast podcast on Monday, and I’m going to tail his pick here (21:20).
Kamara is one of the better pass catching backs in the NFL, and although his numbers have fallen this year due to injury, he is still averaging 3.8 catches for 34.8 receiving yards per game this season.
Book is making his first NFL start, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he checks down early and often to get his best offensive weapon involved. The Saints will likely go as far as Kamara takes them.
Alvin Kamara Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+100)
I’m doubling down on Kamara in this spot, as I think he’s the key for New Orleans in a game it won’t be able to throw the ball much.
Kamara has a nose for the end zone, scoring eight times in just 10 games this season.
His dual-threat ability is key for me in this prop, as I think he can score at least once in a game where Sean Payton will likely get him as many touches as he can handle. I love this prop at even money for a player who scores as much as Kamara.
Jaylen Waddle Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+175)
New Orleans’ defense held the Tampa Bay Buccaneers scoreless in Week 15, but I think the Dolphins will find the end zone this week.
If they do through the air, I wouldn’t be surprised if rookie Jaylen Waddle is on the receiving end for Miami.
Waddle has just four scores this season, but he has seen his targets increase as of late, catching 18 of his 21 looks over the past two games.
The rookie is clearly Miami’s best option at wideout, and Tua Tagovailoa seems comfortable targeting him in this offense. I think Waddle has a good shot at finding the end zone at +175.
