Munaf Manji and SleepyJ break down NFL Week 17 player props. The guys also preview Monday Night Football and give out a best bet.

MVP Race Analysis

• 
  Munaf Manji (0:00 - 5:28 ) kicks off the show with a preview of the NFL MVP race between Lamar Jackson (+155) and Josh Allen (-200).


• 
  Key Quote: “Josh Allen has done more this season with less than Lamar Jackson.”


• 
  Insights: Lamar Jackson played a standout Thanksgiving game, and his stats now rival Josh Allen’s. However, Allen remains the favorite because of his ability to perform under tougher conditions and Buffalo’s push for the playoffs.


• 
  SleepyJ (2:49 - 5:28 ) adds that the MVP award is largely quarterback-focused and dismisses Saquon Barkley’s candidacy despite potentially breaking Eric Dickerson's rushing record.


• 
  Key Quote: "If Saquon Barkley breaks the record, I still don’t think he gets the MVP because it’s been a quarterback award for over a decade.”

Player Props Breakdown

Quarterback Props

• 
  Justin Herbert (Over 20.5 Completions):


• SleepyJ (9:24 - 10:54 ): Herbert is expected to rely on short passes against a weak Patriots pass rush due to the Chargers' running back injuries.


• 
  Key Stats: Patriots rank second-worst in sacks.


• 
  Jordan Love (Over 247.5 Passing Yards):


• Munaf Manji (10:54 - 13:56 ): Love’s strong history against the Vikings and the Vikings’ elite rush defense forces the Packers to throw more.


• 
  Key Stats: Vikings allow 269 passing yards per game; Love recorded 389 yards against them earlier this season.

Running Back Props

• 
  Alexander Madison (Over 44.5 Rushing Yards) and Amir Abdullah (Over 25.5 Rushing Yards):


• SleepyJ (15:34 - 17:25 ): The Saints’ weak rush defense (ranked 3rd worst) makes this a favorable matchup for Raiders’ backs.


• 
  Key Quote: “This is a game where the Raiders just turn around and hand the ball off.”


• 
  Jonathan Taylor (Over 97.5 Rushing Yards):


• Munaf Manji (17:25 - 20:49 ): Taylor has exceeded 96 yards in the last three games and faces a Giants defense allowing 115 rushing yards per game.


• 
  Key Stats: Taylor ran for 218 yards against the Titans in Week 16.

Wide Receiver Props

• 
  Jerome Ford (Over 17.5 Receiving Yards):


• SleepyJ (21:31 - 23:26 ): With Cleveland’s injuries, Ford becomes a key check-down option for Dorian Thompson-Robinson.


• 
  Key Stats: Ford recorded 39 receiving yards last week on 5 catches.


• 
  Mike Evans (Over 78.5 Receiving Yards):


• Munaf Manji (23:26 - 26:49 ): Evans thrives against the Panthers, and Tampa’s reliance on him increases in a must-win situation.


• 
  Key Stats: Evans has averaged 114.5 yards per game against the Panthers in their last six matchups.

Tight End Props

• 
  Jake Ferguson (Over 4.5 Receptions):


• SleepyJ (28:22 - 30:19 ): With CeeDee Lamb out, Ferguson becomes a primary option for Dallas, especially against Philadelphia’s strong run defense.


• 
  Key Quote: "Dallas will have to play it safe, and Ferguson is their safest bet."


• 
  Chigoziem Okonkwo (Over 36.5 Receiving Yards):


• Munaf Manji (30:20 - 33:38 ): Okonkwo benefits from Mason Rudolph’s reliance on him, recording 81 yards last week.


• 
  Key Stats: Jaguars allow 57 receiving yards per game to tight ends.

Monday Night Football Preview

Matchup: Detroit Lions vs. San Francisco 49ers

• 
  Game Analysis:


• 
  SleepyJ (37:01 - 38:50 ): Predicts Detroit (-3.5) to win due to superior motivation and the 49ers’ injury issues. The Lions are vying for playoff positioning, while the 49ers have “nothing to play for.”


• 
  Key Quote: “This line feels wrong. Detroit should be favored by at least seven.”


• 
  Player Prop Best Bet:


• 
  Brock Purdy (Over 254.5 Passing Yards):


• Munaf Manji (40:58 - 43:12 ): Purdy will likely rely on passing due to Detroit’s strong rush defense and San Francisco's depleted backfield.


• 
  Key Stats: Opposing QBs average 255 passing yards per game against Detroit.
