PICK #1: Rome Odunze anytime touchdown scorer (+155)

One of the more entertaining games of the weekend should come in Chicago between the Cowboys and Bears. After all, both of these defenses are extremely vulnerable and have surrendered plenty of points this season. It’s been especially concerning in the case of the Cowboys, who just allowed Russell Wilson and the Giants to put up 37 points and throw all over the field against the poor Dallas secondary. 

Now, in steps Rome Odunze, who has pretty clearly been the biggest bright spot in the Bears offense through two weeks. Chicago can’t run the ball, which means the Bears will likely be in obvious passing situations a lot in this game. That should be music to the ears of the second-year wideout, who has already grabbed three touchdowns through the first two weeks.

PICK #2: Josh Jacobs under 78.5 rushing yards (-110)

There aren’t many football fans that will be fixated on this Browns vs Packers contest on Sunday, but we see a bit of value on Josh Jacobs to go under his rushing yards prop in this one. After all, the Browns defense just held Derrick Henry to just 23 yards on the ground and was largely able to bottle up the Ravens rushing attack in last week’s game. 

While the Packers have been excellent to this point, Green Bay has played a couple of weak defenses thus far, and Cleveland certainly projects to be one of the better units in the AFC based on the first two data points of the season. Even if the Packers are in a positive game script, we don’t see Jacobs having much success against the Browns defensive front. 

PICK #3: Justin Herbert over 4.5 rushing attempts (-130)

For our final best bet, let’s target Justin Herbert to clear his rushing attempts prop for the third consecutive week. It certainly looks like the former Oregon quarterback has a bit more room to operate within Greg Roman’s system this season, and that certainly showed against the Chiefs and Raiders to open this season. 

Against Kansas City, Herbert finished with seven carries for 32 yards, while he racked up nine carries for 31 yards against Las Vegas in that victory. Look for him to continue to ramp up the usage with his legs in another important divisional matchup, so we’ll go back to the well with Herbert to register at least five rushing attempts.
