Bettors are all over New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara to turn in a strong performance against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football, but that’s not indicative of where the money is for the game itself.
With the Ravens set to travel to Caesars Superdome for the last game of the Week 9 slate, let’s take a look at where bettors are placing their wagers.
Ravens-Saints MNF Betting Odds & Trends
According to BetMGM, the Ravens (-1.5) are getting most of the money placed on them as the road favorite for MNF. Right now, 59% of bets and 61% of money is on the Ravens to cover the spread, but the money line is a different story. At +110 to win the game, the Saints are garnering 55% of bets and 60% of money.
Bettors are also flocking to take the under. Set at 46.5, the under is receiving 73% of bets with 83% of the money. Through Week 8, the under was 15-9 in prime time games, with last night’s Titans-Chiefs game coming in well under the total, as well.
Alvin Kamara Leads Most Bet Props For MNF
Per the report, the top three props for Monday Night Football are Kamara first touchdown (+600), Kamara anytime touchdown (-120) and Kamara over 36.5 receiving yards (-120).
Kamara comes into tonight’s game against the Ravens after one of his biggest performances of the year in the Week 8 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He ran 18 times for 62 yards and a touchdown, adding nine receptions for 96 yards and two touchdowns.
“I think [the swagger] is probably on its way back. We had a nice performance right there. But swag ain’t s— if it’s not consistent,” Kamara said after the 24-0 win to ESPN. “You can do it one time, but you’ve got to be able to string it together. We’re looking for the same type of preparation this week. I know I am. I’m ready to go. I’m ready for the next time. I ain’t trying really to celebrate this one. I expect to win every week, so I’m not like, ‘hip, hip hooray” right now.’ I’m like, ‘OK cool, we put it together. Let’s see if we can do it again.'”
If the Saints (3-5) pull off the upset win on Monday night, they’ll move into a three-way tie with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Atlanta Falcons for first place in the NFC South. The Ravens (5-3) will look to build on their 27-22 win over the Buccaneers last week to extend their lead in the AFC North.
