Monday Night Football to put a bow on Week 16 has the Los Angeles Chargers (-4) heading to the Midwest to play the Indianapolis Colts lead by Nick Foles. The Chargers are still playing for their playoff spot while the Colts trotting out Foles in hopes of securing a top 2 pick. The Chargers have played well of late and are 3-1 ATD as Away Favorites. We see this atleast once or twice at the end of regular seasons where teams successfully play spoiler to playoff hopefuls, so the Colts will not go away without a fight. The day after Christmas cou ld prove to have both teams starting sluggish so lets see what impact that may have on player props.
Gerald Everett over 31.5 receiving yards (-120)
I'm going to back to Gerald Everett, but the Colts rank 26th overall in DVOA vs TE. Everett. In the 4 games that Everett has played with Mike Williams and Keenan Allen this year, he averages 6.75 targets 4 receptions and 46 yards per game. On the season, Everett has had 4+ receptions in 9/13(69%) and this this line in 7/13 (53%). The Colts allow 5.8 targets per game to opposing TEs and 46.3 YPG to opposing TEs. What's really drawn me to this is the line being so low considering the Colts have allowed it 12 TEs all season. Everett is athletic enough to make big splash plays on offense and Staley finds ways of getting him the ball in space. 1U
