Thursday Night Football prop bets: Bucs vs. Falcons props for Bijan Robinson, Mike Evans & more

Bucs vs. Falcons player props: Mike Evans Over 59.5 receiving yards (-115 or better)

Evans only caught one pass for eight yards the last time he faced the Falcons but went over in four straight meetings before that. His over/under breakdown directly mirrors Mayfield’s, and he just caught eight passes for 94 yards and a touchdown against the Eagles.

The Falcons only gave up 191 passing yards per game (13th), yet they allowed number-one receivers to average 89.5 yards and to go over this total in all four games this season.

Evans might be 32 years old, but he’s still more than capable of producing big games and big numbers against any opponent in the league.

Bijan Robinson props for Falcons vs. Bucs: 25+ receiving yards (-140 or better)

Bijan Robinson is a threat both on the ground and through the air, and his receiving prowess early has been on display early in the season 

In four games this season, the Falcons' all-world running back has hauled in four or more passes on three occasions and reached the 25-yard mark in all three of those games. He's got a longest receptions of at least 13 yards in every game so far and if he gets one of those again, he's in great shape to reach 25 receiiving yards. 

Bucs vs. Falcons player props for TNF: Kirk Cousins Under 229.5 passing yards (-115 or better)

Cousins looks to have his feet under him more and more with every passing game as he works back from a torn Achilles, though he’s only 24th in QBR with just as many touchdowns as interceptions (four each).

The 36-year-old went over this line in three straight games but has a tough challenge coming his way. The Bucs rank 10th in passing yards allowed per attempt and hold opponents to 203.8 passing yards per game. Last week, they limited Jalen Hurts to just 158 yards through the air. 

Primetime games have trended under their projected points total recently, which also implies that players are more likely to hit their unders.

Baker Mayfield props for Bucs vs. Falcons: Over 1.5 passing touchdowns (+106 or better)

The Bucs throw the ball on 57.8 percent of plays and have a quarterback in Baker Mayfield who is playing some of the best football in the league.

The former first-overall pick is second in the NFL with eight passing touchdowns despite only splitting the over/under at two apiece. He went 30/47 for 347 yards and two touchdowns against the Eagles last week to rebound from an unexpected 26-7 home loss to the Denver Broncos. 

The Falcons give up less than one passing touchdown per game, yet they’re 19th in defensive dropback EPA per play. They also haven’t faced a quarterback that was in as strong of a rhythm as Mayfield is coming off of last week.
