The New Orleans Saints are fresh off their bye week and will face the struggling Seattle Seahawks and Geno Smith on Monday Night Football in Week 7. 

Seattle fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Smith’s first start last week, but the Seahawks did cover the spread in the overtime loss. 

Seattle is a 4.5-point home underdog against the Saints and Jameis Winston, and WynnBET Sportsbook has plenty of props to bet on in this primetime matchup. 

Here are three that I have my eye on to close Week 7 of the season: 

Monday Night Football Best Prop Bets

  • D.K. Metcalf OVER 4.5 Catches (-125)
  • New Orleans Saints OVER 3.5 First Quarter Points (-115)
  • Alvin Kamara UNDER 96.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

D.K. Metcalf OVER 4.5 Catches (-125)

D.K. Metcalf has made over four catches in four of his six games this season, and he’s coming off a six-catch game in Smith’s start last week. 

Metcalf saw seven targets in Week 6, and he also had a strong rapport with Smith in Week 5 when he relieved the injured Russell Wilson, catching a late touchdown. 

If Seattle is going to stay in this game, Metcalf needs to be heavily involved. 

New Orleans Saints OVER 3.5 First Quarter Points (-115)

Seattle’s defense has not been great this season, allowing 5.9 yards per play (10th-worst in the NFL) and I think the Saints will be able to score early on this defense. 

New Orleans is averaging 3.4 points per first quarter this season, but I’m betting on them to score a touchdown against a Seattle team that has allowed 149 points in six games this season. 

Alvin Kamara UNDER 96.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

It’s hard to fade Kamara considering how dynamic a weapon he is, but I think this number is a bit high. 

Kamara had one game over 96.5 rushing yards prior to New Orleans’ bye, and it came against the New York Giants in a game that went to overtime. 

Seattle has allowed the third-most rushing yards in the NFL, but the Seahawks have only allowed 4.4 yards per carry which is more towards the middle of the pack. 

Kamara is going to have a good game, but I’ll take the under in hopes that he comes closer to his season average of 73.6 rushing yards per game.
