</h3><p>Perhaps attacking the top of the Dodgers' lineup will be a mistake, but neither team scored a run in the first inning of Game 1.

</h3><p>The Packers were underwhelming in their last four games, failing to cover as favorites each time and going 2-1-1 over that span. However, they're a far superior team to the Steelers, and 2.5 points isn't a lot to cover, even in a difficult road environment.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>The Steelers' defense also has major concerns. While it's full of veterans, it showed last week that it lacks the speed to keep up with opposing offenses. Pittsburgh allowed Joe Flacco to throw for 342 yards, giving up 161 yards to Ja'Marr Chase and 96 to Tee Higgins. Green Bay doesn't have the same explosive receivers as the Bengals, but Love still has plenty of weapons at his disposal to overwhelm Pittsburgh.</p><p>Here's something even more concerning: Although Chase Brown has struggled to find any room to run this season, he rushed all over the Steelers last week. Packers running back Josh Jacobs has scored two touchdowns in three straight games, and he should continue his dominance against Pittsburgh.</p><p>On the other side of the field, Micah Parsons had his coming-out party last week, with the Defensive Player of the Year favorite posting three sacks. Rodgers will have his hands full trying to stay upright against the Packers' pass rush.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=55e55564-cd6c-4caa-af87-721e03f47633&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=41&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=21&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F7b9276ff-329e-4aad-921b-0ab4bf22fd63&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3376260">Bet: Over 32.5 passing attempts</a>

</h3><p>Green Bay started the year by spreading the ball around to several different receivers, but Love's passing tree has shrunk with Jayden Reed sidelined and Dontayvion Wicks struggling to produce.

<p>The Dodgers and Blue Jays face off Friday night for Game 1 of the World Series.

</h3><p>Snell has been dealing this postseason. In three starts, he's allowed only two runs through 21 innings pitched, including 14 straight scoreless frames. L.A. has played in five consecutive games with seven or fewer runs and has the capability to shut down the Blue Jays' lineup.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>This bet comes down to Yesavage's performance. If he gets shelled early, this contest will likely go over. But the rookie has shown an ability to rise to the occasion and should give the powerful Dodgers lineup all it can handle.</p><h3>⚾️ <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=b4c8f9aa-d67d-4e5a-81da-215066d996fc&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=2&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=1&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Fbaseball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fmlb%2Fevent%2F3d0ef408-c84a-4439-b255-bd0a2b0855c5&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3376862">Bet: 1st 5 innings total - Under 3.5 (+100)</a>
</h3><p>Since I like both starting pitchers' chances of having solid outings, taking the under for the first five innings is a logical bet. Toronto also has a suspect bullpen, which could push the total over for the full game. Backing the first five innings will hopefully remove some shaky Jays arms from the equation.</p><h3>⚾️ <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=3d2bd099-1003-4343-a3d8-c44f1b79b5f1&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=12&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=5&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Fbaseball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fmlb%2Fevent%2F3d0ef408-c84a-4439-b255-bd0a2b0855c5&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3376862">Bet: 1st team to score - Blue Jays (+140)</a>
</h3><p>The value of this bet is too good to pass up. If Yesavage can escape the first inning unscathed, then the Blue Jays have a much better shot to be the first team to score a run than their odds imply. Toronto hits lefties well and could get to Snell early before he settles into a rhythm. Either way, +140 odds suggest an implied probability of 41.7%, which should be closer to 50-50 if Yesavage is on his game. </p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Houston Texans (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-yjqYo" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/yjqYo/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>⚾️ <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=88ac7e42-bf71-4e5f-9111-f7a0c285832b&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=47&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=27&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Fbaseball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fmlb%2Fevent%2F3d0ef408-c84a-4439-b255-bd0a2b0855c5&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3376862">Bet: Under 14.5 outs recorded (-135)</a>
</h3><p>This is a slight hedge against the unders previously laid out, but it can also be a winner even if the game doesn't have many early runs. Blue Jays manager John Schneider has notoriously had a short leash for his starting pitchers and doesn't like his guys going through the opposing order a third time. There's a chance that Yesavage pitches well and still gets pulled before the fifth inning ends.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Houston Texans (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-TkJmw" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/TkJmw/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>⚾️ <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=f6bba61c-4bcb-4286-b512-290840757182&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=43&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=20&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Fbaseball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fmlb%2Fevent%2F3d0ef408-c84a-4439-b255-bd0a2b0855c5&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3376862">Bet: Over 0.5 walks (+115)</a>
</h3><p>George Springer drew a walk in back-to-back games and has nine in his last 15 contests. As the Blue Jays' leadoff hitter, Springer's job is not only to get on base but also to make the opposing pitcher work hard for an out. He'll likely see a lot of pitches in his first at-bat to give the rest of the Jays' lineup a sense of Snell's stuff.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Houston Texans (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-lukEj" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/lukEj/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>⚾️ <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=c81de200-986b-423c-976a-f6379871938f&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=11&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=4&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Fbaseball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fmlb%2Fevent%2F3d0ef408-c84a-4439-b255-bd0a2b0855c5&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3376862">Bet: Over 1.5 total bases (+175)</a>
</h3><p>Erine Clement has been one of the Jays' best hitters this postseason, batting .429 with 18 hits in 45 plate appearances. He also hit lefties well all season, posting a .326 average against southpaws. We'll take a shot on Clement to earn two total bases with either two singles or at least a double.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Houston Texans (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-oKMk8" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/oKMk8/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>⚾️ <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=d6f65b85-3f3f-48eb-afea-6d33f2af8514&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=21&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=5&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Fbaseball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fmlb%2Fevent%2F3d0ef408-c84a-4439-b255-bd0a2b0855c5&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3376862">Bet: Over 1.5 total runs (+320)</a>
</h3><p>As a Blue Jays fan, I'll reluctantly back the best player in baseball to score two runs as the leadoff hitter in a dangerous lineup. Ohtani can do this himself with two homers. However, Toronto may not be comfortable pitching to him, and he could end up on base multiple times. The odds on Ohtani to score twice are too good to pass up.</p><p><em>US: Must be 21+.

</h3><p>With more and more tape available on Carson Wentz as a Viking, he's beginning to regress to the turnover-prone quarterback that's bounced around the league the last few years. Wentz was sacked twice and threw two interceptions against the Eagles last week, increasing his season total to 14 sacks and four interceptions in four starts.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>The Chargers proved they can still score by putting up 24 points against a strong Colts defense. Meanwhile, Jim Harbaugh's defense will have an easier time handling Wentz compared to a revitalized Daniel Jones and the Colts' offense.</p><p>Joe Alt is trending toward playing, providing a huge boost for a struggling Chargers offensive line. His return will help Justin Herbert operate efficiently, and Herbert should be able to put up enough points on the Vikings to cover 3.5 points at home over a far inferior quarterback.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Minnesota Vikings (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-Fm988" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/Fm988/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=8f82d1a4-f0f9-4778-98d8-ab979175508b&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=23&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=13&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F81f29600-3a67-4307-bb26-6443dedee652&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3373975">Bet: Over 5.5 receptions</a>

</h3><p>Gadsden has emerged as the best tight end on the Chargers' roster and has earned his quarterback's trust. In the past two games, Herbert has targeted the fifth-round rookie 17 times, which Gadsden has turned into 14 catches for 232 yards. There's no reason to expect Herbert to move away from the production Gadsden is supplying.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Los Angeles Chargers (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-QRjNS" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/QRjNS/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=74e210b2-904a-4487-887f-2937c72dca08&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=43&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=20&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F81f29600-3a67-4307-bb26-6443dedee652&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3373975">Bet: Over 19.5 rushing yards</a>
</h3><p>Herbert has been running much more this year, surpassing 19.5 rushing yards in five of seven contests. His offensive line is still beat-up, so he'll likely need to scramble more often than he'd like. The Chargers' lack of rushing attack also means Herbert will drop back to pass more often, increasing the chances he's forced to take off and run.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796854/Touchdown_Scorers-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583302" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796854/Touchdown_Scorers-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583302 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796854/Touchdown_Scorers-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583302 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796854/Touchdown_Scorers-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583302 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796854/Touchdown_Scorers-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583302 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796854/Touchdown_Scorers-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583302 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><p><em>NFL news editor Brenden Deeg will provide touchdown scorer props all season long.</em></p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Los Angeles Chargers (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-mjqYF" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/mjqYF/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🙌 <a href="http://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F81f29600-3a67-4307-bb26-6443dedee652&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3373975">Bet: Anytime TD (+165)</a>
</h3><p>We're going right back to Allen after he hit for us in Week 7. Minnesota's defense just got torched by A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith and now has a short turnaround against a veteran wideout who's been awesome since returning to the Chargers. Allen leads the team in targets (65), receptions (44), and receiving yards (435) while scoring four touchdowns. His +165 number is great value considering his production this season.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Minnesota Vikings (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-Jc0Rr" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/Jc0Rr/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="93" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🙌 <a href="http://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F81f29600-3a67-4307-bb26-6443dedee652&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3373975">Bet: Anytime TD (+440)</a>
</h3><p>We'll take a swing on Minnesota in this game. Even with Jordan Addison returning to the lineup, Nailor has remained a key part of the offense. The 26-year-old wideout has played over 74% of the Vikings' offensive snaps and leads the team in red-zone targets this season.</p><p><em>US: Must be 21+. Gambling problem?

</h3><p>Hand up: I can't figure out the Buccaneers. The only time I backed them against the spread, they barely squeaked out a victory over the Jets. Their magical season continued last week with a win over the 49ers, and now they head to Detroit, where Baker Mayfield can really strengthen his MVP case.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>The Lions return home after losing to the Chiefs 30-17. They are the deserved favorite in this meeting, but their secondary is extremely beat-up, and Brian Branch will miss this game due to a suspension. The Bucs' wide receiver room is also dealing with injuries, but Mike Evans is available, giving Mayfield his favorite target.</p><p>This game has a 52.5 point total, so oddsmakers are expecting plenty of scoring from both sides. Mayfield has been playing at an elite level this season, and he should be able to maintain it against a porous Lions secondary. The Buccaneers should be able to keep this game close, and could even pull off the upset.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Game 5 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-5BinJ" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/5BinJ/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="126" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=8f6fe226-de98-48da-a6a9-d65d5d096140&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=41&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=20&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3368474">Pick: Seahawks (-3.5)</a>
</h3><p>The last time we saw the Texans, they steamrolled a lifeless Ravens team on the road. Before that, they beat up the Titans 26-0. In hindsight, those two victories are not overly impressive considering the state of their opponents. The Texans still have one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL and won't be able to protect C.J. Stroud from a good Seattle defense.</p><p>Yes, Houston has the rest advantage and a slightly better defense, but the Seahawks' defensive unit is stout, and their offense is clicking with Sam Darnold under center. Jaxon Smith-Njigba is unguardable, and Seattle will be able to be move him around the field enough to avoid the Texans' Derek Stingley Jr.</p><p>The Seahawks put forth a great effort every week, and the Texans haven't done nearly enough offensively to warrant any trust on the road against a good defense.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-h3JzS" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/h3JzS/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=d997eca0-dea4-467b-87de-80006ea322ac&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=11&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=6&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F856411a6-e18e-4de0-b8bd-e49e79d87a3d&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3368474">Bet: Over 20.5 receiving yards</a>
</h3><p>White surpassed this total in his last three games, serving as the starting running back in two of them. Bucky Irving remains out this week, meaning White will get a full workload again. In a game with shootout potential where the Buccaneers are expected to be trailing, this is a very low total for a good pass-catcher out of the backfield who could see a bunch of dump-offs.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Detroit Lions" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-X1ebQ" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/X1ebQ/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=5edc4e16-3ec6-419e-89de-360e46702eac&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=21&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=11&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F856411a6-e18e-4de0-b8bd-e49e79d87a3d&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3368474">Bet: Over 45.5 receiving yards</a>
</h3><p>The Lions finally got Williams involved last week against the Chiefs. He caught six passes for 66 yards and a touchdown on seven targets. The best way to attack the Bucs' defense is through the air, and he can take the top off opposing secondaries and hit this over on one catch.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Seattle Seahawks (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-bzBAS" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/bzBAS/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=d12c7f14-fe25-416c-9842-d6574e90f005&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=41&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=21&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F271a8c68-65fc-44c5-b33e-3a66deb55a0f&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3368474">Bet: Over 6.5 receptions</a>
</h3><p>Smith-Njigba received 13 targets from Darnold last week for a 48% target share. They've quickly formed a fantastic connection to help Smith-Njigba lead the NFL in receiving yards (696). As mentioned, the third-year wideout should be able to avoid shadow coverage from Stingley and should see another high-volume game. He's caught seven or more passes in four of six games this season.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Houston Texans (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-xfzDb" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/xfzDb/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=15d6bae5-eb00-4e44-87be-69596669d6e0&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=11&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=5&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F271a8c68-65fc-44c5-b33e-3a66deb55a0f&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3368474">Bet: Over 19.5 receiving yards</a>
</h3><p>Woody Marks made a statement in Week 4 against the Titans, receiving 21 touches for 119 total yards. He's shown way more explosiveness than Nick Chubb, and the hope here is that the coaching staff leans on him more heavily after the bye. If the Texans are trailing in this game (which is expected), Marks should be on the field more often than Chubb, as he plays in passing situations.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><p><em>NFL news editor Brenden Deeg will provide touchdown scorer props all season long.</em></p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-T3hSJ" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/T3hSJ/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🙌 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=a36d84d7-c3c8-41fd-88b2-ebca9c372a39&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=9&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=4&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F856411a6-e18e-4de0-b8bd-e49e79d87a3d&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3368474">Bet: Anytime TD (+125)</a>
</h3><p>The veteran wideout is back in the lineup after missing time with a hamstring injury. He was Mayfield's go-to pass-catcher to start the year, racking up 28 targets in three games. With Emeka Egbuka banged up and Chris Godwin Jr. out, we expect Evans to immediately take on a heavy workload.

</h3><p>The 49ers are 4-2 despite dealing with a bunch of key injuries on both sides of the ball. However, as more and more absences mount, San Francisco may no longer be as competitive versus solid opponents.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>Fred Warner is the latest player to fall victim, adding to a list that includes Nick Bosa, Brock Purdy, George Kittle, and Ricky Pearsall. Jauan Jennings is playing through broken ribs and an ankle sprain, and backup quarterback Mac Jones, who will start again in relief of Purdy, has a hurt knee. Kittle is returning for this game, but the team will certainly feel the effects of losing Warner - the heartbeat of its defense.</p><p>The Falcons, meanwhile, are playing impressive football, with their biggest win of the season coming against the Bills on Monday Night Football. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is still going through some growing pains in his second year, but being able to rely on Bijan Robinson on the ground and through the air is a huge safety net. Robinson is primed for another monster game in a matchup featuring two of the best running backs in the league.</p><p>While the third-year back receives much of the attention, the Falcons' defense deserves a ton of credit for the team's recent victories. The unit most recently held reigning MVP Josh Allen to only 180 passing yards and forced two interceptions while sacking him twice. Atlanta is allowing the fewest passing yards per game (139.4) and the fewest total yards against (270.4) in the league.</p><p>The Niners may have the coaching advantage, but this is a rare instance in which the Falcons can outclass their opponent on both sides of the ball.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Atlanta Falcons" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-JCL7O" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/JCL7O/5/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=ba5c4845-dc28-4aea-88ab-0d1665c56774&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=41&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=21&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F5f81e120-71b9-4deb-a17a-ad72cfddab1c&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3368473">Bet: Over 39.5 receiving yards</a>
</h3><p>Robinson went off for 68 and 106 receiving yards in his last two games, respectively, and he's had at least 39 receiving yards in four of five games this season. The Falcons' entire offense is game-planned around Robinson, and the coaching staff is doing a great job of getting him the ball in a variety of ways.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="San Francisco 49ers (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-8GdDi" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/8GdDi/2/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=01b14959-4248-471f-95a0-b55ef26a2eed&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=11&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=6&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F5f81e120-71b9-4deb-a17a-ad72cfddab1c&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3368473">Bet: Over 111.5 rushing + receiving yards</a>
</h3><p>Even with Kittle back in the mix, Christian McCaffrey remains the focal point of this offense. He's recorded at least 111 total yards in five of six games. (He gained 107 in the other contest.) The 49ers are still limited at wide receiver. Expect McCaffrey to handle the brunt of their offensive workload once again.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Atlanta Falcons (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-y5fYW" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/y5fYW/2/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=6fd4e866-bbed-4fd4-a92d-53855aa217ed&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=47&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=27&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F5f81e120-71b9-4deb-a17a-ad72cfddab1c&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3368473">Bet: Over 5.5 receptions</a>
</h3><p>The Falcons have force-fed Drake London the last two games and have found plenty of success doing so. He's caught 18 passes for 268 yards on 26 targets during that stretch. There's no reason to believe they won't look his way often against a Niners defense that hasn't given opposing teams much trouble in the passing game.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><p><em>NFL news editor Brenden Deeg will provide touchdown scorer props all season long.</em></p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Atlanta Falcons (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-y5fYW" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/y5fYW/2/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🙌 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=cf578d4e-43a5-42b7-a87d-81a321323c50&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=53&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=20&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F5f81e120-71b9-4deb-a17a-ad72cfddab1c&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3368473">Bet: Anytime TD (+160)</a>
</h3><p>Robinson and London accounted for 89% of the Falcons' offensive yards in their win over Buffalo. This offense is a two-man show, and London at +160 is the clear best touchdown bet for this game. He's found the end zone in back-to-back contests and faces a 49ers defense that's ravaged by injuries.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="San Francisco 49ers (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-8GdDi" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/8GdDi/2/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🙌 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=1aa569a6-c16b-4f1c-a85d-6d44b1fd6c49&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=23&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=5&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F5f81e120-71b9-4deb-a17a-ad72cfddab1c&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3368473">Bet: To score 2+ TDs (+350)</a>
</h3><p>San Francisco is a nightmare to predict touchdown scorers for right now, so we'll stick with what we know: McCaffrey is guaranteed to get a heavy workload. The star running back leads the league in touches with 154 and has found the end zone in three straight games. With the team's offensive weapons severely banged up, taking McCaffrey to score twice at these odds is a great look.</p><p><em>US: Must be 21+. Gambling problem? Call 1-800-GAMBLER; Hope is here.

</h3><p>Flacco was traded from Cleveland to Cincinnati last Tuesday and got four days to learn the Bengals' playbook and prepare for the Packers. It was a slow start, but he found his rhythm late by heavily targeting Ja'Marr Chase (as one should when playing quarterback for the Bengals) and kept the game relatively close. Cincinnati still lost to Green Bay, which is considered a top-tier NFC team, but did cover the 14.5-point spread.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>It's another short week for Flacco, although he's familiar with the Steelers thanks to his time with the Ravens and Browns. Still, even just a few more days of practice will help him get acclimated.</p><p>The Steelers have been playing some solid football this season.

</h3><p>Through five weeks, perhaps the Bills aren't as good as everyone was led to believe. Buffalo is still considered the Super Bowl favorite but is coming off a loss to the Patriots and hasn't covered a spread in three consecutive games.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>Meanwhile, the Falcons are fresh off a bye, and the betting market may still have a bad taste in its mouth after their 30-0 loss to the Panthers in Week 3. The Falcons hung tough with the Buccaneers to open the season, picked up an impressive road victory against the Vikings, and handled the Commanders with ease in their last matchup.</p><p>This could be Atlanta's best defensive unit in a very long time - it's allowing the NFL's fewest yards per game (259.5). The Falcons are a borderline playoff team, and anytime you can back a club of that caliber getting 4.5 points at home, take the value and run.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Game 5 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-ixA8O" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/ixA8O/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="126" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}})}();

</h3><p>Jayden Daniels returned last week and led the Commanders to a convincing road victory over the Chargers. While Daniels' return was extremely important, Jacory Croskey-Merritt will be vital for the Commanders' chances Monday night against the Bears.</p><p>Croskey-Merritt ran for 111 yards on 14 carries last week, finally realizing the potential that earned him so much hype during training camp. The fact that the Commanders now have a lead back they can rely on will help the offense tremendously, especially against a Bears defense that allows 164.5 rushing yards per game, second most in the league.</p><p>The Bears have made strides under new head coach Ben Johnson, and coming off a bye will help their preparation. But Chicago's defense remains a huge liability, and the Commanders will be able to exploit that weakness on the ground, opening up the passing attack for Daniels.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Buffalo Bills" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-oCoXU" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/oCoXU/2/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=87ec2290-a6a0-4b8c-8103-43f4324f3b44&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=43&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=23&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F7581f87b-40d1-4414-ac10-4e7bd4ffbcd7&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3362488">Bet: Over 229.5 passing yards</a>
</h3><p>Allen has only surpassed this total twice this season, both times in games where the Bills needed him to throw. He didn't throw for 230 yards against the Jets, Dolphins, or Saints - and those contests weren't very competitive. Expect Allen to be forced to air it out, since the Falcons' offense is capable of scoring and the Bills could be trailing.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Atlanta Falcons" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-JCL7O" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/JCL7O/3/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://espnbet.app.link/integrations?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=96fbb779-9806-4804-9876-ef64f4a515c2&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=9&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=5&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F7581f87b-40d1-4414-ac10-4e7bd4ffbcd7&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3362488">Bet: Over 109.5 rush + receiving yards</a>
</h3><p>The Bills allow the fifth-most rushing yards per game (145.6), and the Falcons will lean on Robinson heavily to keep them in the game. Robinson could surpass this number on the ground alone, but he's also one of the best pass-catching backs in the league. He's combined for 110 or more total yards in all four games he's played this season.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Washington Commanders (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-ORQzu" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/ORQzu/3/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=6f52fddc-a76b-47d3-b884-4330b639130e&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=43&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=23&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2Fa0fbf8ac-7760-4c68-930b-80aba282782b&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3362488">Bet: Over 64.5 rushing yards</a>
</h3><p>Croskey-Merritt is averaging 6.6 yards per carry this season, so he'd only need 10 carries in this game at his current average to hit the over. He'll likely see closer to 15 carries after last week's breakout, especially with Chris Rodriguez Jr., his backfield competition for touches, dealing with a calf injury. The Bears can't stop the run, setting up Croskey-Merritt for another big game.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Chicago Bears (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-SCCK8" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/SCCK8/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://espnbet.app.link/integrations?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=ba4f94f8-2d86-4bb3-a0b7-f39f22a5e32a&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=21&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=11&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2Fa0fbf8ac-7760-4c68-930b-80aba282782b&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3362488">Bet: Longest reception over 24.5 yards</a>
</h3><p>Odunze leads all Bears receivers in yards, receptions, touchdowns, and targets this season, clearly becoming Caleb Williams' No. 1 option. He's caught a reception for over 24.5 yards in three of his last four games, and the Commanders are susceptible through the air, especially deep.

</h3><p>Sunday night will be the third game in a row where the Chiefs are favored by less than a field goal at home. They lost to the Eagles in Week 2, then dismantled a beat-up Ravens team two weeks ago. It's hard to see them dropping another game at Arrowhead this season.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>Despite losing to the Jaguars on Monday night, the Chiefs look like their old selves. A rare Patrick Mahomes interception on the Jags' goal line was returned 99 yards for a touchdown, which ultimately won Jacksonville the game. Mahomes doesn't make those kinds of mistakes in back-to-back contests. The Chiefs gained 476 total yards against a stout Jaguars defense.</p><p>The Lions' secondary is also banged up. Cornerback Terrion Arnold will miss this game. Safeties Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch are both dealing with injuries, and their status for Sunday is in doubt. The Lions allowed Jake Browning, who was benched for Joe Flacco, to throw for 251 yards and three touchdowns last week. Mahomes should have a field day passing all over this depleted secondary.</p><p>Lastly, the Lions haven't faced a defense this talented on the road since Week 1, when they scored just 13 points against the Packers. Detroit scored at will at home and on the road against poor Ravens and Bengals defenses. This will be Jared Goff and Co.'s toughest test in a while.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Kansas City Chiefs (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-Zpta0" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/Zpta0/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://espnbet.app.link/integrations?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=19a081a5-02c2-4c78-b303-f2dc82dc2441&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=23&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=10&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F967d1e5c-7760-4e94-8e0f-4048b8c40630&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3362482">Bet: Over 5.5 receptions</a>

They'd coasted to a 4-0 record while playing football that was mediocre by their standards, and they coughed up a 17-3 lead over Denver.</p><p>This is also a great matchup for Philly. Even with Saquon Barkley banged up, the Eagles' rushing attack should be able to dominate a Giants defense that allows 140 yards per game on the ground (seventh most in the league) and 5.3 yards per carry. Barkley may not be 100%, but Jalen Hurts is a threat with his legs and could help carry the rushing load.</p><p>The Eagles' defense hasn't been overly impressive this season, but it's faced the Cowboys, Chiefs, Rams, Buccaneers, and Broncos to start the season. The Giants' offense doesn't come close to having the same level of firepower as those teams.</p><p>Expect the Eagles to make a statement Thursday night against an inferior division opponent with a rookie quarterback who isn't used to preparing for an NFL team on a short week. </p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/799744/player_props-Green.jpg?ts=1756828039" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/799744/player_props-Green.jpg?ts=1756828039 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/799744/player_props-Green.jpg?ts=1756828039 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/799744/player_props-Green.jpg?ts=1756828039 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/799744/player_props-Green.jpg?ts=1756828039 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/799744/player_props-Green.jpg?ts=1756828039 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Philadelphia Eagles (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-wZAT9" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/wZAT9/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=a76877eb-4bcd-4edd-9c76-cdb83787e65e&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=11&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=6&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2Fb6feef1f-1a9e-4539-a707-c9e3a91db7a2&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3362429">Bet: Over 39.5 rushing yards</a>

TNF bets: Eagles to get back on track vs. Giants

<p>Monday night's meeting between Kansas City and Jacksonville caps the Week 5 action. One of two questions will be answered by the end of this game: Are the Chiefs back? Or are the Jaguars for real?</p><p>Kansas City avoided a 1-3 start last week with a convincing 17-point win over the Ravens. A road victory here would prove that performance wasn't a fluke. Jacksonville, meanwhile, is 3-1 but hasn't beaten anyone of the Chiefs' caliber. If they get past Patrick Mahomes and Co., the Jaguars should be taken seriously in the AFC.</p><p>Let's get to our pick, props, and touchdown scorers for Monday night's contest. </p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796827/Game_Picks-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754581983" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796827/Game_Picks-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754581983 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796827/Game_Picks-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754581983 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796827/Game_Picks-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754581983 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796827/Game_Picks-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754581983 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796827/Game_Picks-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754581983 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Game 5 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-Mmucp" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/Mmucp/2/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="126" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}})}();

</h3><p>The Chiefs finally looked like the team that's had multiple Super Bowl runs the past few years. Their defense held Baltimore's offense to 13 points before Lamar Jackson exited midway through the third quarter due to a hamstring injury, while Mahomes passed for 270 yards and four touchdowns.</p><p>Kansas City looked lost on offense during its first three games of the season. But speedster Xavier Worthy returned last week to provide a passing option that other teams must respect and game plan for. He made an immediate impact, leading the team with five receptions for 83 yards while adding 38 more on the ground. The second-year wideout helped the Chiefs operate efficiently for the first time all season.</p><p>On the other hand, the Jaguars haven't shown enough to get only 3.5 points against a perennial Super Bowl contender. Their three victories have come versus the Panthers, Texans, and a 49ers team led by an injured Brock Purdy. They also lost to the Bengals in a game where Jake Browning took over for Joe Burrow in the second quarter.</p><p>This will be the first big test for new head coach Liam Coen. He hasn't been overly impressive through four games despite being hailed as the savior of Trevor Lawrence's career. Brian Thomas Jr., who has just 12 catches on the year, can't get on the same page as Lawrence. And the team hasn't effectively utilized prized rookie Travis Hunter, playing him on both sides of the ball without much success at receiver or cornerback.</p><p>The Chiefs' defense proved last week that it remains a dominant force, and Mahomes will outclass the Jaguars on offense. This should be a routine win for Kansas City as it continues to move past its slow start to the season.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Kansas City Chiefs (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-Zpta0" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/Zpta0/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}})}();

</h3><p>The Bills may be undefeated, but they're only 2-2 against the spread, having failed to cover in their last two games as double-digit favorites versus the Dolphins and Saints. Buffalo let both teams hang around far too long, and the Patriots are a step up in competition compared to them.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>New England is a scrappy team that's shown the ability to score a lot of points, albeit against the poor Dolphins' and Panthers' defenses. Drake Maye is having a fantastic sophomore season and can do some Josh Allen-like things when it comes to creating something out of nothing. Additionally, the Patriots have yet to lose a game by seven or more points.</p><p>They always seem to play the Bills tight. Their previous four meetings were determined by seven points or fewer, and I'm willing to bet this will be another close one.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="New England Patriots (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-784ee" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/784ee/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}})}();

</h3><p>Maye has rushed at least seven times on two occasions this season, and you can see why he took off running in those games. He had only four carries against the Raiders during a disastrous season opener for the Patriots. In a win over the Dolphins the following week, he took off 10 times. Then Maye had seven rushing attempts in a close loss to the Steelers. In the Week 4 blowout victory over the Panthers, Maye ran just three times.</p><p>The thesis here is that Maye has shown to take more risks when the stakes are higher: the divisional win versus Miami needed to avoid an 0-2 start and the battle with fellow AFC playoff hopeful Pittsburgh. More risks will mean more rushing attempts for Maye rather than him throwing the ball away to avoid contact.</p><h3>🏈 <a target="_blank" href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=881ec018-5c18-4e5b-971f-9c878338e9f6&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=21&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=11&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F2d8c84a7-5b59-4c67-af9c-ad44a9ae5117&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3359325">Bet: Over 29.5 rushing yards</a>
</h3><p>For the same reasons above, I also like Maye to go over 29.5 rushing yards. He's done so in his two games with seven-plus rushing attempts, and the Bills give up the second-most rushing yards per game (164.3).</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="New England Patriots (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-q44rg" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/q44rg/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}})}();

</h3><p>Revenge game for Diggs? The former Bill has been targeted at least five times in three games this season, and he's coming off his best outing as a Patriot. He caught six passes for 101 yards last week. Perhaps that's a sign he's returning to his old form after tearing his ACL last year. If the Patriots have to push the pace to keep up with the Bills, Maye will drop back to pass often, setting up Diggs for a heavy workload.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Buffalo Bills (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-d08UB" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/d08UB/2/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}})}();

</h3><p>James Cook has caught at least three passes in three games this year. The only matchup in which he didn't was the Bills' 30-10 victory over the Jets, where he dominated on the ground instead. Cook is becoming a reliable check-down option for Allen, even though the quarterback likes to take off and run. At plus-money, the value on this wager is too good to ignore.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796848/Touchdown_Scorers-Blue.jpg?ts=1754583115 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><p><em>NFL news editor Brenden Deeg will provide touchdown scorer props all season long.</em></p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Buffalo Bills (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-RGnag" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/RGnag/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}})}();

</h3><p>We've taken Kincaid in back-to-back weeks, so why stop now when he's hit both times? The 25-year-old still has great odds despite leading all Buffalo pass-catchers in touchdowns, and this matchup is another solid opportunity for him.

</h3><p>We'll take a swing on a long-shot bet here, as these odds are too high for a quarterback who's already run for two touchdowns this season. Maye is the Patriots' second-leading rusher heading into Week 5, and the Bills have allowed the most rushing yards to opposing signal-callers this season.</p><p><em>US: Must be 21+. Gambling problem?
