For Week 15’s edition of Monday Night Football, the Vikings are hosting the Bears for a NFC North matchup. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Minnesota is favored by seven points and this game’s total is set at 44 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Sam Darnold prop to consider from this contest.

Best Sam Darnold Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Sam Darnold O 253.5 Passing Yards (-115)

Darnold has been excellent with the Vikings this season, ranking third in yards per pass (8.6), seventh in completion percentage (68.4%) and eighth in passing yards (3,329). Minnesota ranks third in pass rate over expectation with Darnold at the helm this season and Monday’s matchup being in Minnesota bodes well for the quarterback, as he has topped 253.5 passing yards in three of his past four starts at home.

The Bears are also a great matchup. This season, Chicago is giving up the second-most yards per pass (7.4) and opposing quarterbacks have had the second-highest average time to throw in the league when facing the Bears.

When these two NFC North rivals just met last month in Chicago, Darnold shredded the Bears for a season-high 330 passing yards. The quarterback’s success against the Bears should continue on his home turf Monday and he is a terrific bet to surpass this 253.5-passing yard line on the DraftKings Sportsbook.
