🏈 Bet: Over 59.5 receiving yards

Evans returned from a nearly two-month absence and immediately regained his chemistry with Baker Mayfield. Evans recorded six catches for 132 yards, and the Buccaneers produced their highest point total in four weeks. The defense has been a disaster for Tampa Bay, but its offense still relies on Mayfield's arm. There should be plenty of opportunities to find Evans against the Panthers' average passing defense.

🏈 Bet: Over 224.5 passing yards

The Saints might have found something in Shough. Turnovers are an issue, but the rookie's arm talent is impressive. He's thrown for at least 225 yards in four of his last five starts. The Jets have a solid passing defense, but they just allowed 48 points and 330 passing yards to Trevor Lawrence. New York's priority is obtaining a higher draft pick, not winning games.

🏈 Bet: Under 54.5 receiving yards

Do we really think Quinn Ewers will successfully move the ball down the field in his debut? Probably not. Benching Tua Tagovailoa was the right move, but that doesn't mean an upgrade is coming under center. Waddle hasn't reached 55 receiving yards in his last four games. Although the Bengals' passing defense is abysmal, I wouldn't expect a Waddle breakout to happen in a week when the playbook will likely be limited for a rookie quarterback.

🏈 Bet: Over 35.5 pass attempts

The Cowboys' offense is predicated on Prescott's arm carrying them throughout drives. He's attempted at least 36 passes in five of his last six games. The Chargers have an elite defense, but quarterbacks have had success throwing it over the top in recent games. This is a must-win contest for Dallas to keep its division title hopes alive (they also need the Eagles to lose Saturday), so look for the Cowboys to go down letting Prescott sling it.

🏈 Bet: Over 69.5 receiving yards

Williams is talented enough to be the first option in Detroit's passing attack but benefits from the reduced attention of a second option because he lines up alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown. That leads to a ton of targets and receptions for Williams, whom Jared Goff trusts. Williams has recorded at least 88 receiving yards in his last five games. There will be plenty of opportunities for the Lions' wideouts against the Steelers' sixth-worst passing defense.

🏈 Bet: Under 52.5 rushing yards

The Broncos boosted Harvey's workload over the last month, but he's only rushed for more than 4 yards per carry once over the previous four games. This Sunday, Harvey and the Broncos' offensive line have their toughest test yet against the Jaguars, who allow the fewest rushing yards per game in the NFL.
