In that matchup, Allen put up only 154 passing yards, and this is likely the big reason why his O/U is where it is. The question for betting on this O/U is whether or not Allen has learned from that experience.
If he has, he could seriously improve in this matchup relative to the last time these two teams played.
That said, it’s hard to take the Over on him given the fact that he only put up 154 pass yards on this team in Week 8.
Josh Allen Rush Yards
- Over 31.5 -114
- Under 31.5 -114
Allen can also make the defense work by using his feet, and he’s set at 31.5 rush yards for Monday's clash. Allen has reached that mark in six of his 15 games, and in the other nine, has fallen short, at times far short.
Indeed, the last time Allen faced off against New England, he managed to gain 23 yards on the ground.
This is a bit of a confusing line, looking at his historical performances. Allen certainly can hit the over, but he doesn’t seem particularly likely to.
Those betting on MNF should look hard at the Under, and also consider why the line is set as high as it is, given Allen has only reached 32 rush yards in six of his games.
