Falcons vs. Buccaneers: Best bets for TNF

Which are the best? We have a few ideas for the best Thursday Night Football bets for this week:

Bijan Robinson, RB, Falcons – Anytime touchdown at -115

This could be a breakout game for Robinson. Atlanta has not been able to establish a significant running game this season. They barely average 100 yards per game and have only recorded one rushing touchdown.

But teams are averaging 135 ypg against Tampa Bay's defense on the ground. Seven of the eight touchdowns scored by the Buccaneers defense came rushing. Caesars Sportsbook has set the line for this prop at -115.

Tyler Algeier, RB, Falcons – O/U 31.5 rushing yards at -115/-115

Robinson is the Falcons' leading back, but Algeier has averaged eight carries for 48 yards in his last three games, with a low of 32 (against the Chiefs). Against a good run defense, we would say we should pass in this market. But against the Bucs' No. 22 run defense, we want Algeier to easily exceed his point total.

BetMGM Sportsbook has set the line for this prop at -115.

Bucky Irving, RB, Buccaneers – O/U 43.5 rushing yards at -117/-117

Tampa Bay is known for being more of a passing team, but the Bucs are not a bad rushing team. Bucky Irving is averaging 8.5 carries and 50+ ypg this season and has had 43.5+ in three of four games. He will find room to run against the Falcons' 25th-ranked run defense (145.5 ypg allowed). Take the OVER.

Baker Mayfield, QB, Buccaneers – O/U 236.5 passing yards at -114/-114

It's been feast or famine for Mayfield and the Bucs' passing game, with two games over 300 yards through the air and two games under 200 yards. Atlanta's defense held Jalen Hurts under 200, Patrick Mahomes to 217 and Derek Carr to 239. The Falcons are giving up fewer than 200 passing yards per game this season.

But the Falcons didn't have a good quarterback with two elite targets to throw to. We lean towards OVER.

Drake London, WR, Falcons – O/U 5.5 receptions at +122/-160

London are averaging just four players per game so far this season. But he had six goals in each of his last three games. His targets and catches will likely increase as Kirk Cousins ​​becomes more accustomed to the offense and becomes more comfortable with his receivers.

The Bucs defense held the Commanders and Eagles offense to seven receptions by their wide receivers, but the Lions had 21 and the Broncos 18. Take the OVER.
