Ho-ho-ho Merry player props-mas to all of the NFL bettors who celebrate.

“Monday Night Football” comes with a bit more of a twist this week as we get a triple-header of standalone games.

Below, we break down all of the Christmas Day player props and picks for the weekend.

Of course, these picks have some long shot elements to them, as you can see below.

See our three favorite player prop picks ahead of a big set of games on Monday, including the game of the year between the Ravens and 49ers.

“Monday Night Football” Week 16 NFL player props and picks for Christmas Day

Giants vs. Eagles

Saquon Barkley over 55.5 rushing yards -105 (Fanatics) | 125+ rushing yards 16/1 (Bet365)

The Eagles’ defense is faltering rapidly, and Saquon Barkley should be in a position to take a bite out of them on Christmas Day.

Philadelphia has allowed at least one runner to get past this number in six of their last seven games.

Meanwhile, Barkley is over in eight of his last 10 games.

Take over and maybe take a bite out of that ladder in the primetime spot.

Barkley has hit this once this season and the Eagles are allowing 128 rushing yards per game in their last three games, a bottom-10 number in the league.

Ravens vs. 49ers

Gus Edwards over 39.5 rushing yards -115 (BetMGM Sportsbook) | 75+ +650 (Bet365)

Keaton Mitchell is out and this is again Gus Edwards’ backfield.

This should be a grind-it-out battle between the Ravens and 49ers on “Monday Night Football.”

San Francisco is allowing 5.1 yards per carry in their last three games, third worst in the NFL.

Go with Gus this weekend as the Ravens but the 49ers on upset alert.

Look for the Ravens to make use of their run game early and often on "Monday Night Football."

Betting on the NFL?

Lamar Jackson under 220.5 passing yards-115 (BetMGM Sportsbook)

Lamar Jackson should be using his legs moreso than his arm on Monday, as mentioned above with their poor run defense numbers.

Jackson has only cleared this number in seven of 13 games played this season and the matchup certainly suggests that Jackson could be using his legs much more than normal.
