Bettors hitting player props on Monday Night Football are planning on a correlation between the big spread and high total favoring the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the New York Giants.
All three of the most popular prop bets at BetMGM on Monday night have Bucs players scoring touchdowns.
According to data released by BetMGM, Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski and Leonard Fournette are the three most-bet players of the night.
We start with Fournette scoring the first touchdown of the game at +600 (bet $100 to win $600). Fournette has scored in just three games this year, and only one of them has been the first touchdown of the game. His last touchdown was in a blowout win over the Chicago Bears on Oct. 24.
Gronkowski has played in only four games this year and hasn't seen a snap since Oct. 31, but the tight end is expected to return on Monday. When he plays, he's always one of Brady's favorite targets near the end zone. Gronk has four touchdowns in four games. In fact, 25% of his catches this year have been for scores.
Gronkowski to score a touchdown at any time on Monday night is +150.
Finally, if the Buccaneers are going to cover as 11.5-point favorites with a total of 50.5 (check real-time NFL odds here), Brady having a big game seems likely to bettors. The third prop seeing the most action is on Brady throwing more than 2.5 touchdowns (+115).
Brady has hit this mark in five of nine games this season and three times in his last five games. On the year, Brady has 27 touchdowns to 7 interceptions.
