In a special Christmas edition of "Monday Night Football," NFL bettors were treated to a triple-header of standalone games. As fans eagerly anticipated the exciting matchups, experts analyzed the player props and made their picks for the holiday games.

The first game on the schedule was a clash between the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles. One player prop that stood out was Saquon Barkley's rushing yards. With the Eagles' defense struggling, Barkley had a good chance to exploit their weaknesses. In six of their last seven games, the Eagles had allowed at least one runner to surpass 55.5 rushing yards. Barkley had been performing well recently, going over in eight of his last 10 games. Experts advised taking the over on Barkley's rushing yards, with an enticing 16/1 odds for him to reach 125+ yards.

Next up was the highly anticipated game between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers. Experts focused on Gus Edwards' rushing yards, as he was expected to have a significant role in the absence of Keaton Mitchell. The 49ers had been struggling against the run, allowing an average of 5.1 yards per carry in their last three games. With the Ravens expected to engage in a grind-it-out battle, Edwards had a good opportunity to surpass his prop line of 39.5 rushing yards. Additionally, bettors could take a long shot chance on him reaching 75+ yards with +650 odds.

Turning attention to the passing game, experts analyzed Lamar Jackson's prop line for passing yards. With the Ravens' strong run game and the 49ers' poor run defense, Jackson was expected to rely more on his legs than his arm. He had only surpassed 220.5 passing yards in seven out of 13 games this season. Considering the matchup, it was likely that Jackson would prioritize his rushing abilities, making the under a favorable pick.

While the Monday night games stole the spotlight, Week 16 also featured an exciting slate of Sunday games. Experts provided their player prop picks for Christmas Eve Sunday, starting with Bryce Young's passing touchdowns. Despite not throwing a touchdown pass in four weeks, Young had a favorable matchup against the Green Bay Packers' weak defense. In their last four games, the Packers had allowed eight touchdowns, including one from an undrafted free agent. This presented an opportunity for Young to break his dry spell and deliver a passing touchdown.

Another player prop to consider was Tyreek Hill's receiving yards. Assuming he played, Hill was expected to shine in a high-scoring game against the Dallas Cowboys. Hill had his sights set on breaking Calvin Johnson's receiving record and becoming the first to reach 2,000 yards. To achieve this, he needed to average 133 receiving yards per game. The Cowboys played a significant amount of man coverage, which Hill excelled against, converting 72.4 percent of throws as completions. Experts recommended targeting Hill in this game and aiming for him to reach 150+ receiving yards, a ladder that was still within reach for him.

As the regular season football approached its end, fans were advised to cherish every moment of the remaining weeks. With thrilling matchups and enticing player props, Week 16 provided plenty of excitement for NFL enthusiasts. Whether it was the Monday night triple-header or the loaded Sunday schedule, there were ample opportunities for bettors to make their picks and enjoy the holiday football festivities.
