The Giants versus the Seahawks is this week’s Monday Night Football game, and the game’s spread is slight. So, it should be a back-and-forth affair. Still, the Giants are a slight underdogs. So, if the game goes according to the betting line, one of Seattle’s running backs might be busy in a good matchup in a positive game script.
The same positive game script would work against the receiving outlook for a youngster in Seattle’s wide receiver corps. And a positive game script for the Seahawks would be a negative one for the Giants, forcing them to air it out and boosting the yardage potential for their No. 1 wideout.

Monday Night Football Prop Bets: Week 4
Here’s a trio of Giants vs. Seahawks player props I like for Monday’s primetime matchup:
Kenneth Walker Over 64.5 Rushing Yards (-113)
Kenneth Walker isn’t a bellcow rusher. However, he’s Seattle’s lead running back and handles a sizable portion of the rushing work. In fact, Walker has accounted for 69.1% of Seattle’s rushes by running backs this year.
He’s parlayed his juicy workload into 68.0 rushing yards per game and a median of 64.0 rushing yards this season. Furthermore, he’s played over 50% of Seattle’s offensive snaps 15 times since he was drafted last year and eclipsed 64.5 rushing yards eight times.
The matchup is superb for Walker tonight. According to The 33rd Team, running backs have averaged 117.7 rushing yards per game against the G-Men in 2023. Tony Pollard (70 rushing yards), James Conner (106 rushing yards), and Christian McCaffrey (85 rushing yards) each exceeded 64.5 rushing yards against Big Blue this season.

Darius Slayton Over 38.5 Receiving Yards (-113)
The Giants are rotating wide receivers, with one exception. According to Pro Football Focus (PFF), Darius Slayton leads the Giants in routes (98). He also led the team in routes (30) last week when Wan’Dale Robinson debuted.
The speedy Slayton is a mainstay on the field and averages 36.3 receiving yards per game this year, with a median of 32.0. Obviously, his average and median are below his line for this contest. Slayton should best those marks in a cushy matchup.
The Seahawks have allowed 255.0 receiving yards to wide receivers this season.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Under 29.5 Receiving Yards (-113)
Jaxon Smith-Njigba hasn’t hit the ground running in his rookie season. In fairness, he hurt his wrist before the season, and getting any reps to this point is valuable to his development. Still, he’s had only a minor role in the offense.
Per PFF, Smith-Njigba is third on the Seahawks in routes (71). Yet, he’s significantly behind Tyler Lockett (101 routes) and DK Metcalf (96). JSN also has a tiny 2.4-yard average depth of target (aDOT) and only one target that traveled at least 10 air yards.
The Seahawks are still using multiple tight ends regularly despite spending a first-round pick in this year’s draft on Smith-Njigba, capping his receiving output. The rookie wideout averages only 19.0 receiving yards per game, with a median of 13.
