Falcons vs Bills on Monday Night Football's first game of the doubleheader
Monday Night Football for week 6 is a doubleheader with the first game featuring the 4-1 Buffalo Bills taking on the 2-2 Atlanta Falcons. The Bills have started out strong led by reigning MVP Josh Allen under center and running back James Cook who is having an explosive season himself.
On the other side of the ball, the Atlanta Falcons have made a so-so start to their season, winning 2 games and dropping 2 as well. However, a week 5 bye-week would have given them time to iron out some of the glaring flaws as they look to get back to footballing action tonight.
Here are a couple of same-game parlays for the TNF game between the Atlanta Falcons and the Buffalo Bills as per FanDuel.
Michael Penix Jr. 225+ Passing Yards (-118) + Bijan Robinson 80+ Rushing Yards (+114) Josh Allen Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+100)
Total Parlay Odds: +697
Michael Penix Jr. didn’t get off to the best possible start for the Falcons in his first three games this season. However, he had a solid outing in week 4 against the Commanders with 313 passing yards and 2 touchdowns. Now, after a bye week, expect Atlanta to have ironed out a few things, especially in the passing game.
Running back Bijan Robinson has been exceptional for the Falcons through their first 4 games. Either he has been dominant running the ball, or has been one of the go-to players in the pass game. When Robinson has been on song, he has rushed for over 100 yards in two of the four games so far this season.
Josh Allen is always a threat with his legs. In the five games he has played in, Allen has already found the endzone 3 times as a runner. In the last two seasons, he has 15 and 12 rushing touchdowns, respectively, which means he is a good bet to score again tonight.
James Cook Anytime Touchdown Scorer (-155) + Josh Allen 2+ Passing Touchdowns (-130) + Drake London 60+ Receiving Yards (-210) + Khalil Shakir 50+ Receiving Yards (-108)
Total Parlay Odds: +627
James Cook has found the endzone 5 times in 5 games this season. He has been a significant contributor to the Bills’ offense with plenty of carries in the backfield. Moreover, Cook is one of the primary targets when the Bills are in a scoring position.
Josh Allen to throw for 2+ touchdowns is a good bet, considering he has 9 passing touchdowns from just 5 games. He has averaged 2 or more passing touchdowns in each of his past three games.
Drake London had 110 receiving yards in his last game against the Commanders. He and quarterback Michael Penix Jr. were able to connect 8 times from 10 targets, showing improved chemistry between the two. Overall, this season, London has eclipsed 50+ receiving yards on three occasions.
Khalil Shakir has been one of the top targets in the passing game for Josh Allen. Shakir has been a consistent pass-catcher for the Bills with two games over 60+ receiving yards this year.
