Who Will Win the Sunday Night Football Prop Picks?

Evans to score a touchdown (+115) ★★★

Mike Evans was ejected from the Bucs game against the Saints two weeks ago and suspended for the following game against the Packers. Now back, he is eager to make an impact. In Week 1, Evans had the most targets on the team and scored the only touchdown as the wideout.

Although the Chiefs’ defense has been solid this season, limiting opponents to an average of 227 passing yards per game, they have given up touchdowns to the top opposing wide receivers in both Weeks 1 and 2. Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is likely to target Evans early in the game, so he would be a smart choice for fantasy football scoring.

Each team to score 1 touchdown in each half (+145) ★★★★★

Last time they faced off, the Chiefs didn’t come out on top as expected. Head coach Andy Reid and QB Patrick Mahomes will be looking for redemption against the Bucs. The Chiefs are currently scoring an average of 29.3 points per game, the fourth highest in the league, while the Bucs are only averaging 17 points. Despite their strong offense, the Chiefs’ defense is allowing an average of 21.7 points per game.

The Chiefs have scored touchdowns in five out of six halves, while the Bucs have only scored in three. Despite this, Raymond James Stadium is expected to be buzzing as both teams aim to leave their mark.

Mahomes Over 266.5 passing yards (-115) ★★★★

Despite Mahomes surpassing 266.5 passing yards only once this season, Kansas City must rely on their passing game to match Tampa Bay’s offense. In their previous Super Bowl matchup, Mahomes threw for 270 yards against the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay’s defense typically limits opposing teams to 209.7 passing yards per game, but they are particularly strong against the run, allowing only 29.3 rushing yards. Given that the Chiefs struggle in the rushing game, their best chance at staying competitive is to continue throwing the ball downfield. Throughout the 2021 season, Mahomes threw for over 266.5 yards in nine out of 17 games.
