Our Top Week 12 MNF Prop Bet: Terry McLaurin Receiving Yards

There haven’t been too many bright spots for this Washington offense this season, but one of them is wide receiver Terry McLaurin. McLaurin is by far Washington’s No. 1 target and appears to be in a prime position for a massive game on Monday Night Football.

In Week 11, Washington faced one of the best pass defenses in the NFL but the Carolina Panthers had no answer for McLaurin, who went off for five catches, 103 yards and a touchdown. This week, he and the Washington Football Team line up against the Seahawks and the worst pass defense in the NFL.

While Washington certainly does not have the most dynamic offense, quarterback Taylor Heinicke has looked much better during a two-game winning streak. Heinicke has thrown for 462 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions in those games. 

Seattle ranks dead last in both total yards allowed per game (413.9) and passing yards allowed per game (279.6). McLaurin is a great receiver in this league and I expect Washington’s top target to have a big night.

In last season’s matchup with the Seahawks, McLaurin caught seven of 12 targets for 77 yards. I expect him to exceed 70 yards receiving once again and top this total.

The Pick: Terry McLaurin OVER 69.5 Receiving Yards (-110)

MNF Prop Bet #2: Tyler Lockett Longest Reception

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett has had stretches in which he has struggled to produce. But when Russell Wilson is behind center, he seems to be much more successful. In two of the last three games, Lockett has exceeded 100 yards receiving, including a 115-yard outing a week ago against the Cardinals.

Lockett has gone over this total for longest reception in four of the seven games Russell Wilson has started. Last week, his average reception was close to 29 yards.

The Washington defense is playing without superstar edge rusher Chase Young. This will give Wilson more time to look downfield and get the ball to his biggest deep threat.

Washington also struggles to defend the passing game, ranking 30th in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game (270.0). Lockett will face the team’s No. 2 cornerback, with D.K. Metcalf drawing the attention of their top coverage man.

I think Lockett gets behind the defense in this one and catches a deep ball to exceed this total.

The Pick: Tyler Lockett OVER 23.5 Longest Reception

MNF Prop Bet #3: Russell Wilson Passing Touchdowns

Yes, Russell Wilson has struggled so far this season. But Wilson is a different player in prime time. And he also has a knack of stepping up in the big games – this is a must-win game for the Seahawks if they want any chance of making the postseason.

Wilson and the Seahawks love playing on Monday Night Football. In his career, the Seahawks are 10-2 on Monday Night Football and he has a touchdown-to-interception ratio of 20:5. Yes, he has struggled of late but it is now or never for the Seahawks, so I expect Wilson to bring his A-game against a team that also ranks 29th in the NFL in points allowed per game (26.7).

If this game goes the way I think it is going to go, the Seahawks will get off to a fast start and score points through the air. I expect Wilson to throw at least two scoring strikes in this one, which will cash in on his total.

The Pick: Russell Wilson OVER 1.5 Touchdown Passes (-130)
