Who Will Win the Sunday Night Football Prop Picks?
Evans to score a touchdown (+115) ★★★
Two weeks ago Tampa Bay wideout Mike Evans left the Bucs game against the New Orleans Saints because of an ejection. Due to the fight, the NFL also suspended him for last week’s contest against the Green Bay Packers. Evans is now back and fired up. In his only full game in Week 1, Evans received a team-high 26% of the target share and was the only receiver to score a touchdown.
While the Chiefs’ defense has been decent this season, holding opponents to 227 passing yards per game, they allowed the top opposing WR to get a TD in Weeks 1 and 2. Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady will look to throw to Evans early, making him a great scoring pick.
Each team to score 1 touchdown in each half (+145) ★★★★★
The game didn’t go as planned for the Chiefs the last time these two sides met. Expect head coach Andy Reid and QB Patrick Mahomes eager to get back at the Bucs. The Chiefs are averaging 29.3 points per game, the league's fourth most. While the Bucs only average 17, the Chiefs’ defense is allowing 21.7 PPG.
The Chiefs have scored touchdowns in five of six halves of gameplay. The Bucs have scored touchdowns in only three of six halves. However, Raymond James Stadium should be electric, with both teams looking to make an impression.
Mahomes Over 266.5 passing yards (-115) ★★★★
Even though Mahomes has only exceeded 266.5 passing yards once this season, Kansas City needs to pass the ball to keep up with Tampa. In their last meeting in Super Bowl LV, Mahomes passed for 270 yards. While the Bucs hold opposing teams to 209.7 passing yards a game, they’re only allowing 29.3 rushing yards, while the Chiefs are the 21st worst NFL rushing team. KC's best bet to stay competitive is to keep passing the ball down the field. In 2021, Mahomes threw over 266.5 yards in nine of 17 games.
