Best San Francisco 49ers vs Indianapolis Colts Player Props to Bet on MNF (Week 16)

• The San Francisco 49ers are in Indianapolis, taking on the Colts in the Week 16 edition of Monday Night Football
• What we need to do is get some bets down on this thing, and we need to do it now
• See below to find my best San Francisco 49ers vs Indianapolis Colts straight bets for Dec 22

I know what you’re thinking, “Slop, we’re hotter than fish grease.” Honestly, you’re right, we are. We just hit a +162 SGP last night, so the books know it too. The smartest thing we can do in a situation like this is to lay low. Fly under the radar a little. We don’t have to hit an SGP every single night. Where are we even going to put all the cash? I say, we take a few straight bets from the San Francisco 49ers vs the Indianapolis Colts game tonight. They can both be plus-money, so it’ll be worth our while, but it will also throw the books off our scent. We can’t have these guys knowing our next moves going into Christmas Week. That would be dumb. Feels right.

49ers vs Colts Player Prop Bet #1 – We Have to Bet on Phillip Rivers

Look, guys, whether we like Phillip Rivers or not, we have to be somewhat impressed with the fact that he’s playing meaningful NFL football at the age of 44. That’s crazy, especially considering that he was literally on the couch for the past five years. The guy is a high school football coach at this point in his life.

And from the looks of it, his football team really likes him.

Anytime we see a story like this, we should bet on it. That’s the only way I know of to make it an even better story. The issue is, Phillip looked like a 44-year-old man playing quarterback last week. The arm strength is pretty much gone at this point. Still, I think there is still meat on this bone when it comes to counting stats like passing completions.

Last week, not only did Phillip play his first game in five years, but he also played one of, if not the best, defenses in the NFL on their home soil. The man is lucky to be alive. Not only that, but he managed to complete 18 passes. This week, he’ll get an opportunity at home, with a start under his belt, and against one of the bottom defenses in the NFL.

On top of that, the 49ers could and should play this game with a lead since they’re offense is basically back. All we need to happen is for the Colts to “need” to be in passing situations, and we’re gold. Phillip doesn’t have the arm strength to go downfield anymore, so it’s dink and dunk time tonight. He should complete at least 19 passes tonight. Feels easy.

SF vs IND Player-Prop Pick #2 – Jonathan Taylor Runs Wild

For our second bet, we’re going with one that every casual on the planet will say sucks. That’s my favorite kind of bet. We have to zig when everyone else says zag. That’s the only way to become great. We have to hang our balls out there (figuratively).

People forget that Jonathan Taylor is still in the mix for the NFL rushing crown this season.

The haters are going to say that Taylor hasn’t gone over 100 rushing yards in four straight weeks now. For once, the haters are right. Kind of. What they’re forgetting is the fact that Taylor went up against four of the best defenses in the NFL in those four games. Like Phillip, the man is lucky to be alive.

Tonight, Taylor will catch a break going against the 49ers’ run defense. They’ve been decimated with injuries on that side of the ball, and it’s been noticeable. No offense to Tony Pollard, but we just watched Tony Pollard run for 100+ yards last week against them. The casuals are going to say this bet anti-correlates with the Rivers move, but I think it helps. To sustain drives, Taylor will have to have success on the ground. Feels easy.

• 49ers/Colts Prop Bet #2 – Jonathan Taylor 100+ Rushing Yards (+101) – DraftKings
