Ryan Mathews ChargersOur Indianapolis Colts vs. San Diego Chargers picks are set and ready to go at Bankroll Sports, but if you’re looking for a bit of a different way to take advantage of some of the Monday Night Football prop bets, you’ve come to the right place. Today, we’re going to be breaking down some of the best NFL props on the board for Monday Night Football, all of which come courtesy of Diamond Sportsbook.

Andrew Luck Under 280.5 Passing Yards – We’re really not all that sure at what the oddsmakers have been looking at here with Luck. He hasn’t come anywhere near this total of passing yards but once all season long in a game, and though he is going against a bad secondary, he also is only throwing the ball right around 30 times per game on the season. If Luck is only going to put the pill in the air 30 times in this game, he is going to have to average right around nine yards per attempt, and we know that he isn’t going to do that more often than not. Especially at +100 odds, we have to think that this is a winning bet more than half the time to make us winners.

Coby Fleener To Score a Touchdown (+125) – Fleener has had himself a good second season, and without TE Dwayne Allen there to steal his targets, the Stanford grad is really shining. He has scored a touchdown in two of his three games this year, but he has been targeted in the end zone in four of the five. Luck is going to complete more of his shots into the end zone than you’d think, and we have to remember that this San Diego defense has had no luck whatsoever defending against tight ends this year. Remember Monday Night Football the first time that the Chargers played on it this year? They allowed three touchdowns to the tight ends of the Houston Texans. We only need one in this one, and we think that Fleener is going to be the man that gets it in at least half of his games.

Philip Rivers Under 290.5 Passing Yards – Rivers has put up three games with at least 400 passing yards this year, but this is a very good Indianapolis secondary that he is going up against that ranks fifth in the NFL against the pass. Sure, Rivers could rack up a bunch of garbage yards, and that might end up beating us, but we are believers that this is going to be a close game one way or the other. Remember that in the two games where Rivers didn’t throw for 400 yards, he also didn’t even throw for 200 yards. Eventually, he’ll settle somewhere in the middle, and we have to think that right around 250 yards is about right for the man from NC State.

Keenan Allen Over 4 Receptions – Asking Allen to get to four receptions to push and five to win seems like a decent bet to us at this point. The rookie out of Cal has had 11 receptions, but more importantly 19 targets in his last two games, proving that he is the man that Rivers is going to love to throw the rock to when he gets the chance to do so. Some of the shots have been deep that Allen has gotten, and though that isn’t really going to help us in terms of receptions, we do think that quantity in this case will be good enough to outshine the lack of quality that some of the throws have had to Allen over the course of the last two weeks.

Antonio Gates To Not Score a Touchdown – It’s only a pick ’em prop, and we think that “no” should be the favorite here by a sizeable margin. The Colts haven’t allowed a tight end to find the end zone against them this year, and in most of the games that they have played, tight ends have caught two passes or fewer. Gates has had himself a good season, but he isn’t getting all of the looks from Rivers in the end zone as he used to. We think that this is a man that could be in for a decent night, but the end zone isn’t in the cards more often than not in all likelihood.

AL LogoThe Boston Red Sox and the Detroit Tigers are left standing as the two teams to battle it out on the ALCS odds in 2013. Which one will advance to fight it out on the World Series lines? We have all of the answers for you here at Bankroll Sports!

The Boston Red Sox (AL Championship Odds: 1.05 to 1 @ 5Dimes Sportsbook) have officially come back from the dead. They were all but down 2-0 in the ALCS before getting some more Red Sox magic. We’ve seen this team do it time and time again, but in this case, they got a grand slam from DH David Ortiz to save this series. Ortiz went on to ultimately win the game in the ninth inning. We think that this one proved for sure that the Sox have the better bullpen and the better clutch hitting in this series. The question is going to be whether the starting pitching can really keep up. The truth of the matter is that every single game in this series is going to feature better starting pitching for the Tigers than the Red Sox. They’re going to have to find ways to keep these games close down the stretch and ultimately win them late on, because they aren’t likely to get the better starting pitching. That said, it really feels like that win in Game 2 might be what propels this team to the next level once again. The World Series might be beckoning once again in Beantown, and you can bet that the fans there are going to make life a living hell on Detroit if this series goes back to Fenway Park.

The Detroit Tigers (2013 Odds To Win AL Championship: 1 to 1.25 @ 5Dimes Sportsbook) though, do have the home field advantage in this series from here, and that can’t be forgotten. It also can’t be forgotten that the team should be up 2-1 at the end of the night on Tuesday, knowing that RHP Justin Verlander is going to be on the mound. Verlander has put up 28 straight zeroes, and not only is he slated to pitch Game 1 of this series, but Game 7 as well if it gets that far. Detroit would like to think that winning two games here in Motown would be good enough to have this series at least in command up 3-2. However, there are still some issues. This offense hasn’t had a remarkable game in this postseason yet, save for Game 4 against the Oakland Athletics in the ALDS, and inevitably, this is going to have to be what picks this team up. It has to be nice to know that a ton of pitchers combined on a no-hitter in Game 1 of this series, but it has to be just a demoralizing that four relievers each gave up one run apiece against the Sox in Game 2 to blow what should have been the game to go up 2-0. The Tigers have a lot of work to do, but they are the favorites for the time being in this fantastic series.

This Week’s Thursday Night Football Game Preview
Seattle Seahawks -6
Arizona Cardinals +6
Over/Under 41

The Seattle Seahawks are starting to pull away from the rest of the pack in the NFC West, and there is no reason not to think that they won’t win the division title from here. They have the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday Night Football this week, and this battle is going to be stingier than you are probably thinking.

Head Coach Bruce Arians has the Cardinals really believing that they belong to be playing in games like these. They really had a chance against the San Francisco 49ers last week, and if not for four turnovers, they probably would have won the game. Instead, they are just 3-3, and though they are on the outside of the playoffs looking in, there is a real chance to make some noise over the course of these next three games. The team doesn’t leave home now for a month, and it has to capitalize even though it might be an underdog in all three of these clashes ahead with Seattle, the Atlanta Falcons, and the Houston Texans. QB Carson Palmer has turned the ball over a ton this year, as he is responsible for 11 picks and a good chunk of the team’s 15 turnovers.

That has to really have this Seattle defense smiling. The Seahawks have forced nine interceptions this year, many of which have come in the fourth quarter of games. DB Richard Sherman has a knack for the big play at the big moment, and you can bet that Palmer is going to want to stay away from him. Seattle hasn’t played nearly as well on the road as it has at home, but the truth of the matter is that the team really has only played one tremendously impressive game this season, that being the 29-3 win over the 49ers in Week 2. A win over the Jacksonville Jaguars was no great shakes, and a victory over the Carolina Panthers in Week 1 wasn’t phenomenal either. Since then, there are three games against AFC South teams, and all three of those games could have been lost, yet all three really should have been won.

The Seahawks have had no luck whatsoever going on the road to the desert. The Cardinals have won and covered six of the last seven meetings between these two. Most remember the fact that Seattle won 58-0 when these two teams met last December, but they don’t remember the fact that a significantly worse Arizona team than this one came away with a win when these two hooked up here at University of Phoenix Stadium in September.
