Saints vs Chiefs NFL Player Props: Best Player Prop Bets for MNF

Patrick Mahomes is back in primetime for Monday Night Football. The surprisingly solid New Orleans Saints (+5.5) travel to Arrowhead Stadium to take on the Kansas City Chiefs, and we see a total of 43.5 for this matchup. Sophomore WR Rashee Rice has moved to IR, joining RB Isiah Pacheco as key pieces for the Chiefs sidelined. Kareem Hunt has returned to his old team in Kansas City and performed well last week. Let’s see how I approach him in Monday night’s matchup with my best Saints vs Chiefs player prop bet, while you also check out our Saints vs. Chiefs predictions on the side and total for MNF.

Kareem Hunt (KC) over 40.5 rushing yards (-115)

Line available on BetMGM at time of publication.

Hunt returned to the Chiefs last week as if he never left, rushing for 14 carries and 69 yards on 45% of snaps. He led all RBs in touches against a division rival in a close game: Those are all big things for me taking over. Mahomes and Reid spoke highly of Hunt this week about the way he performed. Mahomes specifically said, “I think as the year goes on he’ll get more and more comfortable and he’ll be a factor in our offense.” It will be hard for Reid to justify playing rookie Carson Steele in primetime after a fumble last week and Hunt as a better receiver in the backfield. It allows them to disguise things better than if it were a Perine/Steele rotation. According to PFF, the Chiefs O-Line has a significant advantage over the Saints D-Line in rushing offense. This is a 1 unit play of mine.
