Get in on the action outside the moneyline.
#10 – Jordan Mason
Carson Wentz is stepping back into the game now that JJ McCarthy is down.
This means you can count on a rusty Wentz and a Vikes offense that will rely heavily on Mason, who’s also in because of an injury to Minnesota’s RB1 Aaron Jones.
It’s a safe bet that with so many touches, Mason (-176) will be a player to score a touchdown in the Vikings-Bengals game.
#9 – Chase Brown
Same game, different side of the ball for this one.
The Minnesota-Cincinnati game is loaded with injured star players, with Bengals’ QB Joe Burrow topping the list.
But don’t sleep on backup QB Jake Browning. He’s ranked in the Top 3 of backup quarterbacks in the NFL at the moment, and with Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins at wide receiver and RB Chase Brown catching balls out of the backfield, Browning has all the weapons he needs to put up numbers right from the opening drive.
Brown at +180 to make a reception on the first drive? When the backup QB is being cautious and is likely to use his running back as a safety valve? We like it.
#8 – Daniel Jones
The Colts’ QB has been one of the big stories so far this NFL season.
He’s led the team to 2-0 and they’ve put up an average of 31 ppg. Jones himself can run it as well as he can throw it.
At +210 to score a touchdown during the Colts-Titans game, it’s a solid payday for bettors. He’s coming in against a Titans’ D that is 30th in the league against the run, allowing 5.5 yards per rush. It’s easy to imagine him waltzing into the end zone from anywhere inside the five.
#7 – Indianapolis vs. Tennessee
Fun fact: The Colts just became the first team to not record a punt through their first two games of the season.
How do you turn that into a prop bet? You have to figure regression is hitting soon for Indy, and it’s the Colts’ game against Tennessee where we’re wagering on it.
There are different first drive parlays for this weekend’s AFC South battle (pro tip: props make the AFC South more watchable). Take your pick. At +1100 for a Titans’ FG attempt combined with an Indianapolis punt on each team’s first drive, it might be time for Rigoberto Sanchez to earn his paycheck.
Teams have two weeks of game film on Indianapolis and how to slow down Daniel Jones and Jonathan Taylor.
#6 – Dallas vs. Chicago
This one is for players who aren’t interested in nickel and diming their props.
That’s why the Cowboys-Bears bet of either team to win the moneyline and both teams to score 30+ points is what we’re rolling with. At +900, whether you think the Cowboys or Bears will win, this wager has a shot.
Dallas is depleted on D, first losing Micah Parsons in the trade and now being down their top two corners. On the other side, Cowboy’s RB Javonte Williams is having a great season, George Pickens showed signs of life with a TD last weekend, and CeeDee is CeeDee.
The Bears have given up 27 and 52 in their first two games. The Cowboys, 24 and 37. It’s not hard to picture both teams driving up and down the field and cruising past 30 points each.
#5 – Rachaad White
The Tampa Bay-New York Jets matchup could be another big hit for the Over, not to mention TD scorers.
The Jets just gave up 132 yards rushing to James Cook on the Bills, and they’ve allowed 34 and 30 points on their first two games. The Bucs’ offense is high-octane, and White can run and catch equally well. He picked up a TD to go with 65 rushing yards and 2 catches last week.
All that spells end zone against the soft Jets. White at +250 to pick one up could be the play.
#4 – Travis Kelce
How you play this prop bet depends on how much faith you have left in the old dog.
Kelce’s shown a decline in recent years from his epic run in KC’s golden era since 2018.
But after last week’s brutal goal line drop, you can bet he’s extra motivated to silence the critics who say he’s washed. And Mahomes will do everything he can to restore his TE’s confidence. (That, and Mahomes has no one else to throw to this weekend).
The Chiefs-Giants game might not be a scoring festival. But Kelce at +120 to score a TD looks like great value.
#3 – Rome Odunze
The Cowboys-Bears game could be a shootout.
Dallas is coming off a wild game against the Giants where they could barely stop a pretty mediocre New York offense. The Cowboys are giving up an average of 31 points per game, while Chicago just had 51 points hung on them too.
The Bears are 0-2 and will be desperate not to get to 0-3, where barely any team recovers from in order to make the playoffs. Expect both teams to come out firing.
Odunze already has 3 TDs on the season already, and with Dallas’ corners either out or hurting, it’s hard to imaging his +135 not coming through.
#2 – Tyler Warren
The rookie tight end looks like a young George Kittle already.
He had 4 catches in his first-ever NFL game, and seven last week. He’s averaging 14 yards per catch, so he can play the short out or the long pass. Each week Daniel Jones gets more comfortable with him, so it’s easy to see him snagging a pass or two in the opening drive during the Colts-Titans game.
#1 – Blake Corum
One of the tastier payouts we’ve seen, at +500, is for Blake Corum to score a touchdown in the Rams-Eagles game.
With Philly tough on passing (8th in the NFL in yards allowed), even though the Rams’ Matthew Stafford has Puka Nacua to go to, there’s solid chance that LA tries to establish the run.
And Corum’s usage rate has increased to the point where he’s getting 30% of the offensive snaps. In Week 2, he scored a touchdown and averaged over 9 yards per carry. The ROI at +500 seems too good to pass up.
