Monday Night Prop Bets Galore

Baltimore lays 10 points on the road on the Monday Nighter at Jacksonville, a scary proposition for even the stoutest of favorite backers.

So what is a football bettor to do if he doesn't trust the Jaguars even as a 10.5-point underdog (like they are at TopBet)?

Jacksonville is 2-7 ATS on Monday Night Football going back to 1999. Meanwhile Baltimore has been dominant lately, going 5-1 ATS in six recent prime-time matches.

The Ravens are 7-1 SU against the Jaguars dating back 15 years. Baltimore is also a money-making 8-2 ATS the past 10 times as a favorite and they are a double-digit road chalk here, a rarity on MNF.

But do you dare lay 10 points or more on a road team? Many handicappers avoid this situation or side with the home underdog. But Jacksonville has done little lately to warrant your trust with a 10-point lead.

A more interesting scenario is picking apart of the Monday Night prop odds listings to find value there. For example, if you don’t like the Ravens at -10.5, but you love them at -3.5, you can bet that line.

It costs you a bit more (-210 instead of -110, meaning you need to risk $210 to profit $100 instead of $110).

Or maybe you like the like the fun of picking margin-of-victory odds. You can see from the chart below that Jaguar blowout would pay out huge (22/1). The sweet spot at online sportsbooks such as Bodog seems to be 10-17 points.
