Drake Maye Picks, Predictions & Best Bets for Monday Night Football

Gillette Stadium is the home for Monday Night Football in Week 13, as the New England Patriots and New York Giants are set to square off.

This gives us a chance to watch two of the league’s most exciting young quarterbacks go head-to-head, with our eyes especially on Drake Maye, the sophomore who’s firmly in this season’s MVP conversation.

I’ve taken a close look at the Drake Maye odds to find the best ways for you to get involved with the Patriots QB on December 1.

Drake Maye prop pick

Drake Maye best bet: Over 21.5 rushing yards (-110 at bet365)

It’s been an impressive season for Drake Maye. He’s a serious MVP candidate alongside Matthew Stafford, and his New England Patriots sit atop the AFC East with a 10–2 record.

We saw Maye use his legs often last season, and he’s averaged 6.8 carries over the past seven weeks. Meanwhile, the New York Giants are giving up more rushing yards to opposing quarterbacks than any other team in the NFL. Through 12 games, they’ve allowed quarterbacks to scamper for 302 yards — an average of 25.1 per game.

Maye cleared this week’s rushing line of 21.5 in his last game and has done so in four of his past seven, averaging 25.5 rushing yards per outing this season.

Considering Maye’s rushing ability and the Giants’ struggles against mobile quarterbacks, it’s the smart play on MNF.

In addition to the best bet, we’re taking Maye to throw for Over 244.5 passing yards. The Giants have allowed 227.8 passing yards per game, but Maye has been putting up serious numbers. He’s hit 245 or more passing yards in five straight contests, including nine of 12 overall.

For the final leg, we’re backing Maye to be intercepted at least once. He’s been picked off six times this season, with four of those coming in his past five games, as his ball security has looked a bit shaky.
