Monday Night Football Best Prop Bets for Patriots vs. Bills
By Peter Dewey
The AFC East race is heating up on Monday Night Football as the New England Patriots travel to Buffalo to face the Bills.
The Patriots are three-point underdogs at WynnBET, but a win would put them in the driver’s seat for the division title.
Here are three prop bets that I have my eye on in Monday’s showdown.
Best Prop Bets for Patriots vs. Bills
- Kendrick Bourne OVER 35.5 Receiving Yards (-125)
- Dawson Knox Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+225)
- Patriots First Half Moneyline (+115)

Kendrick Bourne OVER 35.5 Receiving Yards (-125)
The Bills have the NFL’s No. 1 pass defense in terms of yardage allowed this season, but I think Bourne is being criminally undervalued in this prop.
The Patriots wideout has gone over this number in eight of his last 10 games and is averaging 51.9 receiving yards per game on the season. He’s quietly become Mac Jones’ favorite target in the passing game, and I think he easily picks up over 35.5 yards on Monday night.
Dawson Knox Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+225)
Yes, the Patriots have only given up 20 touchdowns this season, but you are far more likely to score on them through the air (14 touchdowns allowed) than on the ground (six touchdowns allowed).
Knox has caught a touchdown in five of the nine games he’s played in this season and has seven total in the 2021 campaign. Josh Allen and the Bills desperately need this win, and I think he looks for his favorite red zone target in this one. I like Knox at +225.
Patriots First Half Moneyline (+115)
I really like the Patriots to win this game as well, but they’ve been a fantastic first half team as of late, outscoring their opponents 111-47 during their six-game winning streak.
On this streak, only the Los Angeles Chargers (who led 14-13 at half) outscored the Pats in the first half. I think Buffalo will compete in this game, but the Patriots are the better team at the moment.
