3 Best NFL Prop Bets – Monday, Dec. 25
Here’s a trio of player props I like for the NFL’s Christmas matchups:
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice Over 66.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
Rashee Rice hasn’t merely ascended to the top of Kansas City’s lackluster group of wide receivers. He’s been their most targeted and productive pass-catching weapon lately, surpassing Travis Kelce.
According to Pro Football Focus (PFF), Rice has run the second-most routes (154) for the Chiefs since their bye in Week 10. However, he’s been first on the club in targets (43), receptions (36), and receiving yards (375).
Thus, Rice has averaged 75.0 receiving yards, with a median of 72 in those games. He eclipsed 66.5 receiving yards in three of those contests, including torching the Raiders for a career-high 107 in Week 12. Rice should be busy in Kansas City’s pass-happy attack against a defense that previously had no answer for him.
Where to bet: Rashee Rice over 66.5 receiving yards | -110 BetMGM Sportsbook
Giants WR Darius Slayton Over 27.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
The Giants had a late bye, getting Week 13 off. While they’ve shaken some things up, Darius Slayton has remained a critical player in the passing attack. The veteran speedster has paced the team in routes (70).
Slayton has had 10 targets, six receptions, and 77 receiving yards in his last two games. He’s averaged 36.6 receiving yards per game this season, with a median of 27.5. Slayton’s median is precisely his betting line.
He should surpass his median against Philadelphia’s lousy secondary. According to The 33rd Team, 33 wide receivers have had over 27.5 receiving yards against the Eagles this season. Moreover, CeeDee Lamb and Terry McLaurin had over 27.5 receiving yards against Philadelphia twice this season.
The Giants are double-digit underdogs and will likely have to pass to keep up. Therefore, Slayton should clear the low bar of 27.5 receiving yards today.

Christian McCaffrey Over 83.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
Christian McCaffrey is steamrolling opponents and dominating San Francisco’s backfield’s rushing workload. According to Pro-Football-Reference, CMC has averaged 17.4 rush attempts and 92.3 rushing yards per game this season.
McCaffrey has toted the rock at least 15 times in 12 of 14 contests. He has a median of 94.0 rushing yards per game, besting 83.5 rushing yards nine times. Unsurprisingly, McCaffrey has done his best work as a runner in victories.
McCaffrey has had fewer than 83.5 rushing yards only twice in San Francisco’s 11 victories. The 49ers are favored at home. So, if they handle their business, CMC should have over 83.5 rushing yards tonight.
