This isn’t the most exciting primetime game we’ve ever seen, as the Jacksonville Jaguars are massive favorites over the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football. However, there are still plenty of player prop bets with value in this game, and I’ve chosen a pair of best bets for my favorite MNF player prop picks. Without any further ado, let’s get right into them, and make sure to check out our full Bengals vs Jaguars predictions.
Calvin Ridley over 55.5 receiving yards (-110)
It was a slow start to the season for Calvin Ridley, and the same could be said for this Jacksonville offense as a whole. However, the wideout has emerged in a massive way over the last 4 games, clearing 80 receiving yards in 3 of the last 4 contests to go along with 22 receptions on 29 targets in that span. As the connection between Trevor Lawrence and Ridley grows, so do the possibilities that Jacksonville might be good enough to steal an AFC Championship out from under the noses of the Chiefs, Ravens or Dolphins. On Monday, Ridley’s prop is set a hair too low in my estimation, especially against a Bengals pass defense that is 20th in the NFL in opposing passing yards allowed. Look for another 70+ receiving yard effort from Ridley under the lights.

Jake Browning under 33.5 pass attempts (-113)
This is a difficult situation for Jake Browning as he makes his second start for the Cincinnati Bengals under center this season. Given that the Bengals are massive underdogs on the road, I expect Zac Taylor and company to opt for a more conservative game script to get Browning and this offense settled in. The Bengals were trailing for a good chunk of last Sunday’s game against the Steelers, and even in a negative game script, Browning still threw the ball just 26 times against Pittsburgh. I don’t expect that number to drastically increase in a game where Jacksonville should control the clock and grind out a victory over an inferior opponent. This one will likely be a sweat but let’s go with the under.
