Slop's Premium YOLO Pick for MNF Eagles vs Commanders

YOLO Play Terry McLaurin 70+ (+225) Receiving Yards. Bet $100 to collect $325. FanDuel has the best odds, click here to bet

We're going to go over to FanDuel and move on this one because they are giving the best prices on their ladders. DraftKings is still learning how to price these things but they've currently got 75+ (+205). I could see doing that if that's the only place you can play but it still sucks. Especially when you could get wild at FanDuel with 80+ (+350), 90+ (+490), and 100+ (+680). If this is your "irresponsible" responsible bet, then we might as well get a good number. Feels like the right thing to do.

So here's the thing, this is likely going to sound crazy but I think McLaurin can get home on 70+ tonight. It's a YOLO play but at the same time, it's not that crazy. For starters, McLaurin has done this five times already this season. It doesn't matter if it's Carson Wentz throwing the ball at him or Taylor Heinicke. The man can catch anything and he's fast. Real fast. On top of that, he's a contested catch guy too and Heinicke isn't afraid to throw jump balls. We've got a good situation here.

The haters are going to say that McLaurin will be shadowed by Darius Slay in this game and that the Eagles have allowed the second-fewest yards in the NFL to the wide receiver position. All that is true but the last time these two teams met, McLaurin hung 100+ on Slay and these Eagles. I know some of the haters have said that game doesn't count since McLaurin only caught one ball in the first half, but we know better. Every receiving yard counts.

Honestly, though, I get why the haters are saying the last game doesn't count. They're wrong but I get it. They're saying it was a game script game. The thing they're missing is the fact this should be a game script game too. I mean the Commanders are 11-point dogs right now. They could easily get their asses kicked and have to throw the whole time. And the Eagles just gave up 69 yards to Phillip Dorsett so let's not act like it's crazy that McLaurin could do the same thing. At the end of the day, this should not be +225.
