Alvin Kamara Anytime TD Scorer (-175)
It’s easy to see why people like Alvin Kamara to get into the endzone tonight. Seattle has given up nearly 25 points per game, and have allowed the third-most rushing yards in the league against. Kamara has been off to a little bit of a slow start so far this season but if there were ever a defense to breakout against it’s this one. He has just four total touchdowns on the season after finishing last year with 21 combined scores.
Jameis Winston Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (+140)
The New Orleans Saints have done a good job of getting the most out of Jameis Winston who is a limited player. Last week he threw for four touchdowns in the win over Washington and he’s eclipsed 1.5 passing touchdowns in four of his six starts on the season. In exactly half (40 of 80) of the games he’s played, he’s thrown for two or more touchdowns in a game.
Jameis Winston Over 201.5 Passing Yards (-115)
After a slow start in the yards category, Jameis has improved significantly. He’s hit 226 and 279 the last two weeks after starting the season with 148, 111, and 128. In 62 of Winston’s 80 career appearances, he’s cleared the 201.5 number. Against this Seattle defense who ranks 27th in the NFL in passing yards against, it’s easy to see why this is a popular prop.
