Last week on Sunday Night Football, Russell Wilson shined in his debut for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Wilson led the Steelers to a massive 37-15 victory over the New York Jets. Another week, another prime-time game for Wilson as the New York Giants head to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers on Monday Night Football.
Wilson totaled 264 yards while throwing two touchdown passes. This was an impressive debut for Wilson with the Steelers, who are now 5-2. Here are my favorite Russell Wilson prop bets for Monday Night Football. The Steelers are -6 against the New York Giants on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Best Russell Wilson Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Russell Wilson over 202.5 yards (-115)
Wilson had an excellent debut performance last Sunday for the Steelers. During the first quarter, he showed growing pains but he continued to look more comfortable in his new offense throughout the game. After throwing 264 yards against the Jets, it is surprising to see his over-under in yards at 202.5 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
The Giants have a top-five great passing defense, but they have allowed over 202.5 passing yards to opposing quarterbacks in five of seven games this season. Wilson likely will continue to improve each week as he becomes familiar with the Steelers.
Russell Wilson 2+ Passing Touchdowns (+145)
Wilson had two passing touchdowns last week against the Jets. Dating back to last season with the Denver Broncos, Wilson has thrown at least two touchdowns in three of his previous four games. To get Wilson at +145 on DraftKings Sportsbook to throw two touchdowns is excellent value, considering how well he played a week ago.
Also, Wilson only completed 16 of 29 (55%) passes last week. Wilson’s production will increase as his completion percentage rises. The Giants are on a downward spiral, and this is a great matchup for Wilson’s second game starting for the Steelers.
