• We’re staring at one of the greatest possible matchups we could get with the Saints/Chiefs on Monday Night Football tonight
• Sides and totals are fun but my favorite way to get down on the NFL is by betting player props
• See below to find two of my favorite Saints vs Chiefs player props to bet for this MNF matchup

What we need tonight are winners. Monday Night Football was invented so gamblers could get one more lick in on the books before the next week begins. After having two games in each of the last two weeks, we’re back to just one but I don’t think that should stop us. We have to be able to find something. We’re gamblers, that’s what we do.

The good news is, we’re looking at what could be the greatest game we’ve ever seen. Though the New Orleans Saints vs Kansas City Chiefs odds show a game total of just 43.5, there is star power all over the place. Lucky for us, I think I may have stolen the script. I didn’t mean to, it just happened. This could easily be the greatest night of our lives. Feels right.

Saints vs Chiefs Player Prop Picks

Both of tonight’s Saints vs Chiefs player prop picks focus on KC running back Kareem Hunt, who’s back where he started his career after five mediocre seasons with the Browns.

Kareem Hunt Should Be Busy

The Kansas City Chiefs have been ravaged by injuries lately. First, it was Isaiah Pacheco, then last week they lost Rashee Rice. Most teams don’t recover well from losses like that but we’re talking the Kansas City Chiefs here people. They know what they’re doing.

Plus, they have the help from a familiar face that doesn’t mind doing the dirty work.

If I were the Chiefs, I would want to keep the ball out of the hands of the New Orleans Saints offense tonight. It’s tough to score without the ball. That’s just a big ole fact. One way to do that is to keep the ball on the ground. It’s a strategy as old as time.

We saw them utilize this strategy last week at the beginning of the second quarter. Kareem Hunt got his first carry at that point of the game, then went on to tote the rock 14 times. They were down 10-0 and ended up winning the game 17-10. Remember, Hunt didn’t carry the ball even once in the first quarter. Tonight, without Clyde Edwards-Helaire making his season debut, I’d think it’s the Kareem Hunt show again.

If we’re being honest, we could be looking at the greatest bet of all time here people. Look alive.

• The Pick: Kareem Hunt 13+ Rushing Attempts (+188) at Caesars

Kareem Hunt Will Be Effective

It’s one thing to say a guy will have volume, but it’s a totally different thing to say that volume will lead to production. After all, this is the NFL. Just because you have a jersey, doesn’t mean you’ll be able to excel.

Lucky for us, the man we’re backing, doesn’t give up easy.

This one is simple, the Chiefs won’t see a ton of stacked boxes because they have Patrick Mahomes. He’s good. So when they run the ball, theoretically, it should be into less people at the line of scrimmage. That helps a guy like Hunt who doesn’t really dance. He sees his target and he hits it. It’s just how he rolls.

The Saints have had a hard time against the run all season. Just last week, we saw Tyler Allgier break them off for 60 rushing yards on just eight carries. The week before, Saquon Barkley went for 147 on them. Keep in mind, we only need 50+ out of Kareem Hunt tonight.

Even if Hunt is past his prime, he is still good enough for 50+ rushing yards. He just had almost 70 last week and he was fresh off of his couch. Feels right.

• The Pick: Kareem Hunt 50+ Rushing Yards (+135) at ESPNBet
