NFL Betting: Rapid Fire Sunday 1 PM Games

Miami @ Buffalo

Passing Yards: Josh Allen vs Tua Tagovailoa (+49.5 Pass Yds) – Tua Tagovailoa

Tua has had two back-to-back very good games and while Allen is consistently still putting up 300-yard games, give me Tua with the 49.5 yard Bonus.

Rushing Yards: Zack Moss vs Devin Singletary (+8.5 Rush Yds) – Devin Singletary

Their is a pretty even split between the two running backs on the Bills, so I will take Singletary since he gets the bonus in this one.

Receiving Yards: Emmanuel Sanders vs Cole Beasley (+6.5 Rec Yds) – Emmanuel Sanders

Sanders has been the more productive receiver in the past three games and the bonus is not enough to make this one close in my opinion.

Receptions: Stefon Diggs vs Jaylen Waddle (+1.5 Rec)  –  Jaylen Waddle

Since Tua has been back, Waddle has had 17 receptions, while Diggs only has 11 receptions in the last two games. Give me Waddle in this matchup along with the bonus.

Carolina @ Atlanta

Passing Yards: Matt Ryan vs Sam Darnold (+40.5 Pass Yds) – Matt Ryan

Matt Ryan has had over 240 yards passing in the last five games while Sam Darnold has been under 210 passing yards the last three games. With injuries, the Panthers’ defense is not the same. Ryan should be able to put up another good day. The 40.5 bonus is substantial for Darnold, but I do not see that enough to overtake Ryan’s passing numbers.

Rushing Yards: Chuba Hubbard vs Cordarrelle Patterson (+23.5 Rush Yds) – Chuba Hubbard

With the struggles of Darnold lately, it would make sense for the Panthers to rely more on Hubbard in this one. Even with the bonus for Patterson, give me Hubbard as Patterson has only hit the 60-yard mark in rushing yards once this season.

Receiving Yards: Kyle Pitts vs Robby Anderson (+14.5 Rec Yds) – Kyle Pitts

Pitts has really hit his stride with over 100 receiving yards in the last two games and Anderson has only been over 50 yards receiving in one game this season. Even with Anderson’s bonus, I like Pitts to win this one easily.

Receptions: DJ Moore (+0.5 Rec) vs Calvin Ridley – 

DJ Moore has been the favorite target of Sam Darnold this year. Ridley may share more targets with Pitts emergence and Russell Gage returning, so give me Moore in this one.

NFL Betting: Rapid Fire Sunday 4 PM Game

Washington @ Denver

Passing Yards: Teddy Bridgewater vs Taylor Heinicke (+15.5 Pass Yds) – Taylor Heinicke

The WFT has had trouble establishing the run game and has depended on Heinicke to pass the ball and with the bonus I see Heinicke winning this matchup.

Rushing Yards: Antonio Gibson vs Javonte Williams (+0.5 Rush Yds) – Antonio Gibson

Even though the WFT has struggled running the ball, Gibson is the main back while Denver plays both Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon. Since there is little bonus give me Gibson in this one.

Receptions: Terry McLaurin vs Noah Fant (+1.5 Rec Yds) – Terry McLaurin

McLaurin is the main targeted receiver for the WFT and had 8 receptions last week. Noah Fant has 5 receptions or under in four of the last six games.

Receptions: J.D. McKissic vs Ricky Seals-Jones (+1.5 Rec)  – Ricky Seals-Jones

Seals-Jones continues to be targeted with Logan Thomas‘s absence with 15 catches in the last three games. With the bonus give me Seals-Jones over McKissic.

NFL Betting: Rapid Fire Sunday Night Game

Dallas @ Minnesota

Rushing Yards: Dalvin Cook vs Ezekiel Elliot (+7.5 Rush Yds) – Ezekiel Elliot

The Vikings do depend on the run game quite a bit but with the bonus and either a banged-up Dak Prescott or Cooper Rush, I see the Cowboys relying on the run even more.

Receiving Yards: Ceedee Lamb vs Adam Thielen(+7.5 Rec Yards) – Adam Thielen

This is a tough one not knowing the health of Dak Prescott but I see more of a run-heavy approach for the Cowboys so give me Thielen with the bonus.

Receptions: Justin Jefferson vs Amari Cooper (+1.5 Rec) – Justin Jefferson

Justin Jefferson has had 11 more receptions than Amari Cooper this season and in the past three games, Jefferson has had 21 receptions.

Receptions: Dalton Schultz vs Tyler Conklin(+0.5 Rec) – Dalton Schultz

Schultz has been the more dependable option at TE and I see him having the edge even with the bonus and questions at QB.
