<p>The World Series returns to Toronto after the Blue Jays won Game 5 to take a 3-2 lead over the Dodgers. </p><p>The Blue Jays became World Series favorites during Game 5 and now sit at -250 (71.4% implied probability) to claim the franchise's first title since 1993. However, they are slight underdogs in Game 6, just as they've been in every matchup so far. Toronto will send Kevin Gausman to the mound to close out the series, while Los Angeles hands the ball to Yoshinobu Yamamoto to keep its season alive.</p><p>Let's dive into our favorite bets for Game 6. </p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><blockquote><p>👉 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Fbaseball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fmlb%2Fevent%2Fe61c0b4c-5303-4a55-942d-098ac21682e5&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3383250"><strong>Check out all of the World Series markets available on ESPN BET and theScore Bet here</strong></a></p></blockquote><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796821/Game_Picks-Blue.jpg?ts=1754581734" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796821/Game_Picks-Blue.jpg?ts=1754581734 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796821/Game_Picks-Blue.jpg?ts=1754581734 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796821/Game_Picks-Blue.jpg?ts=1754581734 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796821/Game_Picks-Blue.jpg?ts=1754581734 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796821/Game_Picks-Blue.jpg?ts=1754581734 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><h3>⚾️ <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=b3484e6d-69fa-4a49-b168-af474bd65d73&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=43&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=20&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Fbaseball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fmlb%2Fevent%2Fe61c0b4c-5303-4a55-942d-098ac21682e5&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3383250">Bet: Blue Jays to win (+120)</a>
</h3><p>I think the series ends tonight. The resilience the Blue Jays displayed in winning back-to-back games after losing the 18-inning marathon in Game 3 cannot be overstated. Toronto is a much tougher opponent for the Dodgers than anyone expected, and it will get its redemption against Yamamoto.</p><p>The Dodgers ace has been incredible over his last two starts. He has two consecutive complete games, but let's not forget that Game 2 was 1-1 going into the seventh inning. The previous Yamamoto-Gausman showdown was a lot tighter than the final score reflected.</p><p>The Blue Jays' bats warmed up after Game 3, scoring 12 runs to the Dodgers' three. The top of the Dodgers' order is struggling, a bad sign in a must-win game against Gausman. This should be a low-scoring affair, and I'll take the team swinging it better at the dish.</p><h3>⚾️ <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=3042a820-9d5e-4dec-a5d5-b9ea7dff5a88&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=9&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=5&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Fbaseball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fmlb%2Fevent%2Fe61c0b4c-5303-4a55-942d-098ac21682e5&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3383250">Bet: Scoreless 1st inning - Yes (-125)</a>
</h3><p>The Dodgers scored in the first inning against Gausman last time out, and the Blue Jays jumped on Blake Snell for two home runs in Game 5. But I'd expect a clean inning from both starting pitchers, who were lights-out in their last starts.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Houston Texans (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-Qw0Tm" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/Qw0Tm/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>⚾️ <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=93d20bb5-c9c6-4bdd-8d5b-8d0504192c11&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=43&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=20&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Fbaseball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fmlb%2Fevent%2Fe61c0b4c-5303-4a55-942d-098ac21682e5&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3383250">Bet: Over 1.5 total bases (+115)</a>

</h3><p>The Ravens earned a huge win over the Bears last week with Tyler Huntley starting, keeping their season alive. They're still a desperate group at 2-5, but the uphill battle to collect a playoff spot becomes less daunting with Jackson in the lineup.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>Baltimore's Week 7 bye came at a great time. After losing multiple defensive starters to injury early in the year, the unit is much healthier now. It held Chicago to 16 points, the team's second straight game conceding 17 points or fewer and a drastic improvement from the 44 points allowed to the Texans in Week 5.</p><p>Miami, meanwhile, put up 34 points on the Falcons last week, but I'll choose to ignore that because of Atlanta's putrid effort. The Dolphins are still a mess, having given up at least 27 points in each of its three prior contests. They're a true two-win team, unlike the Ravens.</p><p>The Dolphins allow the fifth-most rushing yards per game, which is a recipe for disaster when facing Jackson and Derrick Henry. Backed by an improving defense, Jackson and Co. can cover 7.5 points against a bad team on a short week.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796843/player_props-Purple.jpg?ts=1754582898" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796843/player_props-Purple.jpg?ts=1754582898 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796843/player_props-Purple.jpg?ts=1754582898 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796843/player_props-Purple.jpg?ts=1754582898 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796843/player_props-Purple.jpg?ts=1754582898 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796843/player_props-Purple.jpg?ts=1754582898 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Baltimore Ravens (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-XRIE3" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/XRIE3/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="93" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=c5f07379-da17-46ee-9753-98bbb023c538&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=43&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=23&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F43abe170-646f-48cd-a81b-496417dfc5e9&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3379896">Bet: Over 89.5 rushing yards</a>
</h3><p>The Dolphins have conceded monster games on the ground to Kimani Vidal, Rico Dowdle, and James Cook this season; two of those players are nowhere near as explosive as Henry, who went for 169 rushing yards in the season-opening loss to the Bills and, more recently, 122 yards against the Rams (without Jackson). The team will lean heavily on the five-time Pro Bowler to ease its quarterback back into action.</p><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=a2aefafd-fbb8-4501-8feb-b5e322e7b6d4&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=9&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=4&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F43abe170-646f-48cd-a81b-496417dfc5e9&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3379896">Bet: Over 19.5 rushing attempts</a>
</h3><p>The same logic from above applies to Henry's rushing attempts. He's had at least 20 carries in back-to-back games and should see another significant workload in Miami. The Ravens could lead for most (or all) of this contest, and there's no better player in the league to control the clock with.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Miami Dolphins" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-xJVEi" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/xJVEi/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=53779afe-5e0d-4622-bd06-bb2ca2a46a92&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=23&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=13&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F43abe170-646f-48cd-a81b-496417dfc5e9&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3379896">Bet: Over 3.5 receptions</a>
</h3><p>Malik Washington has caught at least four passes in four straight games, all since Tyreek Hill went down with an ACL injury. He also had five or more targets in each outing.

<p>The Blue Jays rebounded Tuesday night to level the series after a heartbreaking 18-inning loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 3.

</h3><p>This will be the second time each team has faced the opposing starter, and that familiarity can only help the batters. Game 1 featured 15 runs, and while that's an unlikely total to see again, there's a good chance Snell and Yesavage struggle to pitch deep into the game.

</h3><p>Starters Shohei Ohtani and Shane Bieber may not be the ones giving up runs, but there are tired arms in the bullpens, which were already areas of weakness for both teams.

</h3><p>Whether or not he's pitching well, Bieber will have to work deep in this game. The Blue Jays used every single one of their relievers in Game 3, and while some of them will be OK to pitch on back-to-back days, manager John Schneider won't want to go to his bullpen early.

</h3><p>The Chiefs are back to full strength on offense thanks to Rashee Rice's return. They dominated the Raiders last week, winning 31-0 at home.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>Rice made an immediate impact, receiving 10 Mahomes targets for seven catches, 42 yards, and two touchdowns. He makes the Chiefs much more difficult to defend, and the Commanders won't be up to the task.</p><p>It's been a forgettable season for Washington. Daniels cannot stay on the field, and any improvements the Commanders attempted on defense don't seem to be working. They gave up 44 points to the Cowboys last week and are allowing 381.4 yards per game, the sixth most in the league.</p><p>Without Daniels, there's little hope that the Commanders' offense can keep pace with the Chiefs' attack. Mariota is a serviceable backup, but he's nowhere close to the same kind of threat as Daniels. Even with Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel back in the lineup, Mariota's limitations will hinder their explosiveness.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Kansas City Chiefs (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-MSoqT" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/MSoqT/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=e323a70d-20b1-45e3-9a5c-aa59e1ea7642&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=43&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=20&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2Feda6d197-3c0d-4022-a76b-196ac172159d&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3377110">Bet: Over 6.5 receptions</a>

The AFC isn't the daunting conference everyone expected without MVP-caliber quarterbacks Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson. The Colts, Broncos, and Patriots have emerged as threats, but they all have inexperienced quarterbacks. The Chargers are also in the mix, but would you ever trust Justin Herbert over Patrick Mahomes in a playoff game?</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>Kansas City's biggest threat is the Bills, who have lost four straight playoff games to the Chiefs. Buffalo, which has the next best odds to win the conference at +325, dropped two straight against the Patriots and Falcons before beating the lowly Panthers. Although no one should worry about the Bills' offense with Josh Allen under center, there are legitimate doubts as to whether they have a championship defense. Meanwhile, the Chiefs are finally healthy, and their offense has exploded the last few weeks as Mahomes returns to an MVP level. How can we bet against Mahomes in a weak conference?</p><h3>🏀 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=33a2e3c1-45ed-4e2a-bf2e-bfd25528bb71&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=11&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=7&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Fbasketball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnba%2Fsection%2Fawards&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3375459&amp;tags=Picks&amp;tags=Sports+equinox">NBA futures pick: Victor Wembanyama to win Defensive Player of the year (-280)</a>

This is the surest NBA future. The only scenario in which Victor Wembanyama doesn't win Defensive Player of the Year is if he fails to meet the 65-game requirement. Of course, that's certainly possible - it happened last year. But if a health issue is the only thing that could prevent Wembanyama from winning, it's worth taking him. The French phenom only played 46 games last season and still had 28 more blocks than anyone else.</p><h3>🏒 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=95bc9dc1-55dd-48cf-a7e2-e0b3566ed77e&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=9&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=1&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Fhockey%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnhl%2Fsection%2Ffutures&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3375459&amp;tags=Picks&amp;tags=Sports+Equinox">NHL futures pick: Avalanche to win the Stanley Cup (+800)</a>

</h3><p>The Packers were underwhelming in their last four games, failing to cover as favorites each time and going 2-1-1 over that span. However, they're a far superior team to the Steelers, and 2.5 points isn't a lot to cover, even in a difficult road environment.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>The Steelers' defense also has major concerns. While it's full of veterans, it showed last week that it lacks the speed to keep up with opposing offenses. Pittsburgh allowed Joe Flacco to throw for 342 yards, giving up 161 yards to Ja'Marr Chase and 96 to Tee Higgins. Green Bay doesn't have the same explosive receivers as the Bengals, but Love still has plenty of weapons at his disposal to overwhelm Pittsburgh.</p><p>Here's something even more concerning: Although Chase Brown has struggled to find any room to run this season, he rushed all over the Steelers last week. Packers running back Josh Jacobs has scored two touchdowns in three straight games, and he should continue his dominance against Pittsburgh.</p><p>On the other side of the field, Micah Parsons had his coming-out party last week, with the Defensive Player of the Year favorite posting three sacks. Rodgers will have his hands full trying to stay upright against the Packers' pass rush.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796847/player_props-Yellow.jpg?ts=1754583017 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=55e55564-cd6c-4caa-af87-721e03f47633&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=41&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=21&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F7b9276ff-329e-4aad-921b-0ab4bf22fd63&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3376260">Bet: Over 32.5 passing attempts</a>

</h3><p>Green Bay started the year by spreading the ball around to several different receivers, but Love's passing tree has shrunk with Jayden Reed sidelined and Dontayvion Wicks struggling to produce.

<p>The Dodgers and Blue Jays face off Friday night for Game 1 of the World Series.

</h3><p>Snell has been dealing this postseason. In three starts, he's allowed only two runs through 21 innings pitched, including 14 straight scoreless frames. L.A. has played in five consecutive games with seven or fewer runs and has the capability to shut down the Blue Jays' lineup.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>This bet comes down to Yesavage's performance. If he gets shelled early, this contest will likely go over. But the rookie has shown an ability to rise to the occasion and should give the powerful Dodgers lineup all it can handle.</p><h3>⚾️ <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=b4c8f9aa-d67d-4e5a-81da-215066d996fc&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=2&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=1&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Fbaseball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fmlb%2Fevent%2F3d0ef408-c84a-4439-b255-bd0a2b0855c5&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3376862">Bet: 1st 5 innings total - Under 3.5 (+100)</a>
</h3><p>Since I like both starting pitchers' chances of having solid outings, taking the under for the first five innings is a logical bet. Toronto also has a suspect bullpen, which could push the total over for the full game. Backing the first five innings will hopefully remove some shaky Jays arms from the equation.</p><h3>⚾️ <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=3d2bd099-1003-4343-a3d8-c44f1b79b5f1&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=12&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=5&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Fbaseball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fmlb%2Fevent%2F3d0ef408-c84a-4439-b255-bd0a2b0855c5&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3376862">Bet: 1st team to score - Blue Jays (+140)</a>
</h3><p>The value of this bet is too good to pass up. If Yesavage can escape the first inning unscathed, then the Blue Jays have a much better shot to be the first team to score a run than their odds imply. Toronto hits lefties well and could get to Snell early before he settles into a rhythm. Either way, +140 odds suggest an implied probability of 41.7%, which should be closer to 50-50 if Yesavage is on his game. </p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796841/player_props-Blue.jpg?ts=1754582787 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Houston Texans (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-yjqYo" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/yjqYo/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>⚾️ <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=88ac7e42-bf71-4e5f-9111-f7a0c285832b&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=47&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=27&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Fbaseball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fmlb%2Fevent%2F3d0ef408-c84a-4439-b255-bd0a2b0855c5&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3376862">Bet: Under 14.5 outs recorded (-135)</a>
</h3><p>This is a slight hedge against the unders previously laid out, but it can also be a winner even if the game doesn't have many early runs. Blue Jays manager John Schneider has notoriously had a short leash for his starting pitchers and doesn't like his guys going through the opposing order a third time. There's a chance that Yesavage pitches well and still gets pulled before the fifth inning ends.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Houston Texans (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-TkJmw" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/TkJmw/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>⚾️ <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=f6bba61c-4bcb-4286-b512-290840757182&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=43&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=20&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Fbaseball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fmlb%2Fevent%2F3d0ef408-c84a-4439-b255-bd0a2b0855c5&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3376862">Bet: Over 0.5 walks (+115)</a>
</h3><p>George Springer drew a walk in back-to-back games and has nine in his last 15 contests. As the Blue Jays' leadoff hitter, Springer's job is not only to get on base but also to make the opposing pitcher work hard for an out. He'll likely see a lot of pitches in his first at-bat to give the rest of the Jays' lineup a sense of Snell's stuff.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Houston Texans (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-lukEj" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/lukEj/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>⚾️ <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=c81de200-986b-423c-976a-f6379871938f&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=11&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=4&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Fbaseball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fmlb%2Fevent%2F3d0ef408-c84a-4439-b255-bd0a2b0855c5&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3376862">Bet: Over 1.5 total bases (+175)</a>
</h3><p>Erine Clement has been one of the Jays' best hitters this postseason, batting .429 with 18 hits in 45 plate appearances. He also hit lefties well all season, posting a .326 average against southpaws. We'll take a shot on Clement to earn two total bases with either two singles or at least a double.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Houston Texans (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-oKMk8" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/oKMk8/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>⚾️ <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=d6f65b85-3f3f-48eb-afea-6d33f2af8514&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=21&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=5&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Fbaseball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fmlb%2Fevent%2F3d0ef408-c84a-4439-b255-bd0a2b0855c5&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3376862">Bet: Over 1.5 total runs (+320)</a>
</h3><p>As a Blue Jays fan, I'll reluctantly back the best player in baseball to score two runs as the leadoff hitter in a dangerous lineup. Ohtani can do this himself with two homers. However, Toronto may not be comfortable pitching to him, and he could end up on base multiple times. The odds on Ohtani to score twice are too good to pass up.</p><p><em>US: Must be 21+.

</h3><p>With more and more tape available on Carson Wentz as a Viking, he's beginning to regress to the turnover-prone quarterback that's bounced around the league the last few years.

</h3><p>Herbert has been running much more this year, surpassing 19.5 rushing yards in five of seven contests.

</h3><p>We're going right back to Allen after he hit for us in Week 7. Minnesota's defense just got torched by A.J.

</h3><p>We'll take a swing on Minnesota in this game. Even with Jordan Addison returning to the lineup, Nailor has remained a key part of the offense. The 26-year-old wideout has played over 74% of the Vikings' offensive snaps and leads the team in red-zone targets this season.</p><p><em>US: Must be 21+. Gambling problem?

</h3><p>Hand up: I can't figure out the Buccaneers. The only time I backed them against the spread, they barely squeaked out a victory over the Jets. Their magical season continued last week with a win over the 49ers, and now they head to Detroit, where Baker Mayfield can really strengthen his MVP case.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>The Lions return home after losing to the Chiefs 30-17. They are the deserved favorite in this meeting, but their secondary is extremely beat-up, and Brian Branch will miss this game due to a suspension. The Bucs' wide receiver room is also dealing with injuries, but Mike Evans is available, giving Mayfield his favorite target.</p><p>This game has a 52.5 point total, so oddsmakers are expecting plenty of scoring from both sides. Mayfield has been playing at an elite level this season, and he should be able to maintain it against a porous Lions secondary. The Buccaneers should be able to keep this game close, and could even pull off the upset.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Game 5 (Copy) (Copy) (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-5BinJ" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/5BinJ/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="126" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=8f6fe226-de98-48da-a6a9-d65d5d096140&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=41&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=20&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3368474">Pick: Seahawks (-3.5)</a>
</h3><p>The last time we saw the Texans, they steamrolled a lifeless Ravens team on the road. Before that, they beat up the Titans 26-0. In hindsight, those two victories are not overly impressive considering the state of their opponents. The Texans still have one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL and won't be able to protect C.J. Stroud from a good Seattle defense.</p><p>Yes, Houston has the rest advantage and a slightly better defense, but the Seahawks' defensive unit is stout, and their offense is clicking with Sam Darnold under center. Jaxon Smith-Njigba is unguardable, and Seattle will be able to be move him around the field enough to avoid the Texans' Derek Stingley Jr.</p><p>The Seahawks put forth a great effort every week, and the Texans haven't done nearly enough offensively to warrant any trust on the road against a good defense.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-h3JzS" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/h3JzS/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=d997eca0-dea4-467b-87de-80006ea322ac&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=11&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=6&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F856411a6-e18e-4de0-b8bd-e49e79d87a3d&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3368474">Bet: Over 20.5 receiving yards</a>
</h3><p>White surpassed this total in his last three games, serving as the starting running back in two of them. Bucky Irving remains out this week, meaning White will get a full workload again. In a game with shootout potential where the Buccaneers are expected to be trailing, this is a very low total for a good pass-catcher out of the backfield who could see a bunch of dump-offs.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Detroit Lions" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-X1ebQ" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/X1ebQ/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=5edc4e16-3ec6-419e-89de-360e46702eac&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=21&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=11&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F856411a6-e18e-4de0-b8bd-e49e79d87a3d&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3368474">Bet: Over 45.5 receiving yards</a>
</h3><p>The Lions finally got Williams involved last week against the Chiefs. He caught six passes for 66 yards and a touchdown on seven targets. The best way to attack the Bucs' defense is through the air, and he can take the top off opposing secondaries and hit this over on one catch.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Seattle Seahawks (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-bzBAS" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/bzBAS/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=d12c7f14-fe25-416c-9842-d6574e90f005&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=41&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=21&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F271a8c68-65fc-44c5-b33e-3a66deb55a0f&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3368474">Bet: Over 6.5 receptions</a>
</h3><p>Smith-Njigba received 13 targets from Darnold last week for a 48% target share. They've quickly formed a fantastic connection to help Smith-Njigba lead the NFL in receiving yards (696). As mentioned, the third-year wideout should be able to avoid shadow coverage from Stingley and should see another high-volume game. He's caught seven or more passes in four of six games this season.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Houston Texans (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-xfzDb" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/xfzDb/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=15d6bae5-eb00-4e44-87be-69596669d6e0&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=11&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=5&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F271a8c68-65fc-44c5-b33e-3a66deb55a0f&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3368474">Bet: Over 19.5 receiving yards</a>
</h3><p>Woody Marks made a statement in Week 4 against the Titans, receiving 21 touches for 119 total yards. He's shown way more explosiveness than Nick Chubb, and the hope here is that the coaching staff leans on him more heavily after the bye. If the Texans are trailing in this game (which is expected), Marks should be on the field more often than Chubb, as he plays in passing situations.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><p><em>NFL news editor Brenden Deeg will provide touchdown scorer props all season long.</em></p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-T3hSJ" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/T3hSJ/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🙌 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=a36d84d7-c3c8-41fd-88b2-ebca9c372a39&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=9&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=4&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F856411a6-e18e-4de0-b8bd-e49e79d87a3d&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3368474">Bet: Anytime TD (+125)</a>
</h3><p>The veteran wideout is back in the lineup after missing time with a hamstring injury. He was Mayfield's go-to pass-catcher to start the year, racking up 28 targets in three games. With Emeka Egbuka banged up and Chris Godwin Jr. out, we expect Evans to immediately take on a heavy workload. Detroit entered Week 7 with the second-most touchdowns surrendered to opposing wide receivers.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Detroit Lions (Copy) (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-YBFyF" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/YBFyF/1/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🙌 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=0fa57a62-20d2-4599-a2f8-cf6259fbbef3&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=13&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=5&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F856411a6-e18e-4de0-b8bd-e49e79d87a3d&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3368474">Bet: Anytime TD (+160)</a>

</h3><p>The 49ers are 4-2 despite dealing with a bunch of key injuries on both sides of the ball. However, as more and more absences mount, San Francisco may no longer be as competitive versus solid opponents.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>Fred Warner is the latest player to fall victim, adding to a list that includes Nick Bosa, Brock Purdy, George Kittle, and Ricky Pearsall. Jauan Jennings is playing through broken ribs and an ankle sprain, and backup quarterback Mac Jones, who will start again in relief of Purdy, has a hurt knee. Kittle is returning for this game, but the team will certainly feel the effects of losing Warner - the heartbeat of its defense.</p><p>The Falcons, meanwhile, are playing impressive football, with their biggest win of the season coming against the Bills on Monday Night Football. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is still going through some growing pains in his second year, but being able to rely on Bijan Robinson on the ground and through the air is a huge safety net. Robinson is primed for another monster game in a matchup featuring two of the best running backs in the league.</p><p>While the third-year back receives much of the attention, the Falcons' defense deserves a ton of credit for the team's recent victories. The unit most recently held reigning MVP Josh Allen to only 180 passing yards and forced two interceptions while sacking him twice. Atlanta is allowing the fewest passing yards per game (139.4) and the fewest total yards against (270.4) in the league.</p><p>The Niners may have the coaching advantage, but this is a rare instance in which the Falcons can outclass their opponent on both sides of the ball.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796845/player_props-Red.jpg?ts=1754582951 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Atlanta Falcons" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-JCL7O" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/JCL7O/5/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=ba5c4845-dc28-4aea-88ab-0d1665c56774&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=41&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=21&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F5f81e120-71b9-4deb-a17a-ad72cfddab1c&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3368473">Bet: Over 39.5 receiving yards</a>
</h3><p>Robinson went off for 68 and 106 receiving yards in his last two games, respectively, and he's had at least 39 receiving yards in four of five games this season. The Falcons' entire offense is game-planned around Robinson, and the coaching staff is doing a great job of getting him the ball in a variety of ways.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="San Francisco 49ers (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-8GdDi" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/8GdDi/2/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=01b14959-4248-471f-95a0-b55ef26a2eed&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=11&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=6&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F5f81e120-71b9-4deb-a17a-ad72cfddab1c&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3368473">Bet: Over 111.5 rushing + receiving yards</a>
</h3><p>Even with Kittle back in the mix, Christian McCaffrey remains the focal point of this offense. He's recorded at least 111 total yards in five of six games. (He gained 107 in the other contest.) The 49ers are still limited at wide receiver. Expect McCaffrey to handle the brunt of their offensive workload once again.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Atlanta Falcons (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-y5fYW" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/y5fYW/2/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=6fd4e866-bbed-4fd4-a92d-53855aa217ed&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=47&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=27&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F5f81e120-71b9-4deb-a17a-ad72cfddab1c&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3368473">Bet: Over 5.5 receptions</a>
</h3><p>The Falcons have force-fed Drake London the last two games and have found plenty of success doing so. He's caught 18 passes for 268 yards on 26 targets during that stretch. There's no reason to believe they won't look his way often against a Niners defense that hasn't given opposing teams much trouble in the passing game.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796852/Touchdown_Scorers-Red.jpg?ts=1754583246 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><p><em>NFL news editor Brenden Deeg will provide touchdown scorer props all season long.</em></p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Atlanta Falcons (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-y5fYW" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/y5fYW/2/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🙌 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=cf578d4e-43a5-42b7-a87d-81a321323c50&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=53&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=20&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F5f81e120-71b9-4deb-a17a-ad72cfddab1c&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3368473">Bet: Anytime TD (+160)</a>
</h3><p>Robinson and London accounted for 89% of the Falcons' offensive yards in their win over Buffalo. This offense is a two-man show, and London at +160 is the clear best touchdown bet for this game. He's found the end zone in back-to-back contests and faces a 49ers defense that's ravaged by injuries.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="San Francisco 49ers (Copy)" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-8GdDi" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/8GdDi/2/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🙌 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=1aa569a6-c16b-4f1c-a85d-6d44b1fd6c49&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=23&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=5&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F5f81e120-71b9-4deb-a17a-ad72cfddab1c&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3368473">Bet: To score 2+ TDs (+350)</a>
</h3><p>San Francisco is a nightmare to predict touchdown scorers for right now, so we'll stick with what we know: McCaffrey is guaranteed to get a heavy workload. The star running back leads the league in touches with 154 and has found the end zone in three straight games. With the team's offensive weapons severely banged up, taking McCaffrey to score twice at these odds is a great look.</p><p><em>US: Must be 21+. Gambling problem? Call 1-800-GAMBLER; Hope is here.

</h3><p>Flacco was traded from Cleveland to Cincinnati last Tuesday and got four days to learn the Bengals' playbook and prepare for the Packers. It was a slow start, but he found his rhythm late by heavily targeting Ja'Marr Chase (as one should when playing quarterback for the Bengals) and kept the game relatively close. Cincinnati still lost to Green Bay, which is considered a top-tier NFC team, but did cover the 14.5-point spread.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>It's another short week for Flacco, although he's familiar with the Steelers thanks to his time with the Ravens and Browns. Still, even just a few more days of practice will help him get acclimated.</p><p>The Steelers have been playing some solid football this season. They're winners of three straight, and Aaron Rodgers is operating the offense effectively. But their defense, while not nearly as bad as the Bengals', still has some question marks and is far from the Pittsburgh defenses of old.</p><p>Divisional games can often be tightly contested, and backing the home underdog in those games is never a bad option. Add in the fact that it's a short week - which can lead to sloppier, lower-scoring games - and the Bengals are the side to take.</p><figure class="article-segment--image"><img src="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796842/player_props-Orange.jpg?ts=1754582852" srcset="https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796842/player_props-Orange.jpg?ts=1754582852 220w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796842/player_props-Orange.jpg?ts=1754582852 320w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796842/player_props-Orange.jpg?ts=1754582852 640w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796842/player_props-Orange.jpg?ts=1754582852 768w, https://assets-cms.thescore.com/uploads/image/file/796842/player_props-Orange.jpg?ts=1754582852 1080w"><figcaption class="article-segment--image-caption"> <span class="article-segment--image-attribution"></span></figcaption></figure><figure class="article-segment--embed"><iframe title="Cincinnati Bengals" aria-label="Table" id="datawrapper-chart-BSeB3" src="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/BSeB3/3/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;" height="99" data-external="1"></iframe><script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});</script></figure><h3>🏈 <a href="https://about.espnbet.com/sportsbook-redirect/?market_selection_id%5B0%5D=92e8ecf6-53d9-4db2-8001-6ea21ad6459e&amp;odds_numerator%5B0%5D=23&amp;odds_denominator%5B0%5D=13&amp;%24canonical_url=%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Forganization%2Funited-states%2Fcompetition%2Fnfl%2Fevent%2F3da537a8-b6eb-48d7-b3a0-45a1b39110dd&amp;campaign=thescore_content&amp;customer_campaign=article&amp;%7Echannel=thescore-content&amp;tags=3368442">Bet: Over 6.5 receptions</a>
</h3><p>Flacco targeted Chase 12 times in the duo's first game together. A savvy vet like Flacco clearly understands the importance of getting the ball in the hands of the team's best player. Chase had 10 catches last week and has at least five in five of his six games this season despite some shoddy quarterback play.
