5 minDraftKings Pick6 Picks for Buccaneers vs. Falcons: Four Picks for DK Pick6 on Thursday Night Football
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will attempt to improve their record to 4-1 tonight. Standing in their way is an Atlanta Falcons team coming off a thrilling win in Week 4 over their rivals, the New Orleans Saints.
The winner of tonight's contest will put themselves in first place in the NFC South. The Falcons entered the season as the betting favorites to win the NFC South. Atlanta has not won the South since 2016.
While it is only Week 5, tonight is a crucial game for the Falcons, who do not want to fall two games behind the Buccaneers. Tampa has a huge opportunity tonight to create early-season separation in the division.
Let's jump into my DraftKings Pick 6 entry for tonight via DraftKings Sportsbook!
DraftKings Pick6 Picks for Buccaneers vs. Falcons
Leg 1: Baker Mayfield Over 241.5 Passing Yards
The game script favors this prop tonight.
I anticipate the Bucs having to play from behind, creating more opportunities for Mayfield to throw the football in the second half.
The former number-one overall pick has exceeded this number in two of his four games this season.
Leg 2: Bijan Robinson Over 60.5 Rush Yards
Tampa has struggled to stop the run, ranking 21st in football in rushing yards allowed per game.
Atlanta will run the ball early and often with Robinson.
Robinson is capable of ripping off a huge run and smashing this over on a few touches.
In a positive game script, I love the value of Robinson tonight.
Leg 3: Ray-Ray McCloud Under 3.5 Receptions
McCloud has enjoyed a strong start to his season, but I expect some regression tonight.
The former Clemson Tiger is the fourth option in the passing game, and in a game where I do not believe Atlanta will throw a ton, it will be difficult for him to exceed this number.
McCloud is more of a deep threat, and I would be shocked if he gets more than three catches tonight.
Leg 4: Bucky Irving Under 45.5 Rush Yards
Irving has earned more reps in the last few weeks after a solid start to the season.
The Bucs backfield remains split between Rachaad White and Irving.
Irving will not have enough volume in a negative game script to exceed this number.
