We have put together a list of all of the day’s best odds boosts, which today are from DraftKings Sportsbook and FanDuel Sportsbook. We’ll discuss whether or not they are worth playing.

A Defensive Touchdown to be scored in San Francisco 49ers vs Dallas Cowboys – Boosted from +220 to +250 with DraftKings Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need a defensive touchdown in the game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys led the NFL with 5 defensive touchdowns by interception, while the 49ers had 2. Dallas also had 1 fumble returned for a touchdown. San Francisco had 24 giveaways this season and a turnover difference of -4, so they have been prone to throw a pick or two. For that reason, this prop looks to be worth a small play.

Patrick Mahomes to record 300+ passing yards – Boosted from +150 to +175 with DraftKings Sportsbook

This prop will focus on Patrick Mahomes as they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers tonight. Mahomes averaged 284.6 passing yards per game and had 258 against the Steelers back in December, but he should in store for a huge game. The Steelers are fortunate to even have made the playoffs and their pass defense has really struggled at times to slow down opposing quarterbacks. For that reason, this looks to be a prop worth backing.

Arizona Cardinals to win the game by 7+ points – Boosted from +310 to +330 with DraftKings Sportsbook

This prop will need the Arizona Cardinals to beat the Los Angeles Rams by at least 7+ points on Monday Night. However, the Cardinals have lost 5 of their last 7 games and are basically limping into the playoffs. Quarterback Kyler Murray has lost some offensive weapons and tends to be somewhat inconsistent. Our experts like the Rams to win and cover in this game, so avoiding this prop looks to be the best option.

Anthony Edwards to score 25+ points – Boosted from +180 to +205 with DraftKings Sportsbook

This prop will focus on Anthony Edwards and we will need him to score at least 25+ points. He is averaging 22.6 points per game, but has scored at least 25+ points in each of his last 2 games. The Timberwolves are playing the Warriors tonight, so if they are to have any chance of winning, Edwards needs to be on his game. For that reason, this prop looks to be worth a play.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Philadelphia Eagles to Each Score 2+ Touchdowns & 2+ Field Goals – Boosted from +500 to +600 with FanDuel Sportsbook

This prop will need the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Philadelphia Eagles to each score at least 2+ touchdowns and 2+ field goals. The Bucs’ wide receiver core is somewhat depleted right now, so they may not be able to move the ball down the field quite as easily. This could lead to several field goal attempts. The Bucs still have what looks to be a solid defense though and it might also be tough for the Eagles to find the end zone a ton. Though both offense still have some weapons, so I do think this prop is still worth a small play.
