Every week, I go through game totals, spreads, and player props, looking to find the best NFL bets so I can share them with you. Good luck this week!
He rushed for 83 yards in week one on 16 carries in a game that was pretty much over before it even started. This week, he and the Commanders take on the Giants in a game that should be much more competitive. To me, that means Daniels will be running a ton again, as he is the most dynamic offensive player the Commanders have. Whether it be on designed runs, or in a big spot when they need to pick up a first down, Daniels is going on the move and easily top this number on the ground.
In week one, Williams showed that he is going to be more heavily featured in the Lions offense this season. He saw 9 targets in the win over the Rams, and this week’s game against the Bucs should have a similar game flow. He caught 5 of those 9 targets, which is actually lower than expected. I am confident that even if he only sees 6 or 7 targets this week, he will catch at least 4.
He is one of the best-rushing QBs in the league, and he has elite size and speed to help him do it. He is a huge threat in the red zone because of his size, and I expect to see him take one in like he did last week. He is averaging a TD per game rushing in his career, with 4 in 4 games last year and one in one game this year.
Cooper had a tough week one, going up against a tough corner in Diggs and a Cowboys pass rush that wreaked havoc on QB Deshaun Watson. The good news here is that Cooper saw 9 targets in the passing game, and with Dabid Njoku injured, he could see even more this week. Cooper is a great route runner who will get open often, so expect Watson to target him often again this weekend, but with more accuracy and precision.
**If you decide to play all four player props in a parlay, the current odds are +1600**
The Ravens should lay a beat down on the Raiders this week. Their win and the over 25 points should come pretty handily, and after a quiet week from Zay Flowers in week one, I think he will bounce back and find the end zone. The riskiest pick here to me is Lamar Jackson because I think Derrick Henry could easily vulture his TDs. The odds pay out much better with Jackson scoring, though, and he is dynamic enough to do it.
Godwin can easily get 100 receiving yards any given week. He is a very good WR, and his QB, Baker Mayfield, loves to air it out. The Bucs will have to throw a lot to keep pace with a high-powered Lions offense. The part that makes this a long shot is the Bucs beating the Lions. The Lions are 7 point favorites, but the Bucs are an underrated team.
**If you want to get REALLY crazy, you could combine the big gamble and the long shot at +8600**
Ravens, Seahawks, Chargers, Chiefs, Texans (+399)
