Over 45.5 (-110)
Mike Evans anytime touchdown scorer (+110)
Taysom Hill over 45.5 rushing yards (-113)
Parlay odds: +558
Part of the value in same game parlays is that all of its components can be correlated if you so choose. That is the plan here, as Mike Evans scoring a touchdown and Taysom Hill rushing for a fair amount of yards would work well with this being a high-scoring game.
Let’s break down each leg one by one.
Over 45.5 (-110)
The Bucs are scoring a ton of points. They have scored 30, 38, 30, and 33 points over their last 4 games, and they are averaging an impressive 37.5 points per game at Raymond James Stadium. They put up 27 points against the Saints at the Superdome in October, but it wouldn’t be surprising if they are able to have an even better day this time. The New Orleans offense has now had a few weeks to get used to Taysom Hill being back, and Alvin Kamara being healthy is a huge plus. In the last 10 meetings between Tampa Bay and New Orleans, this total has been exceeded 7 times with an average of 54.2 total points being scored in that span.
Mike Evans anytime touchdown scorer (+110)
Evans has racked up 11 touchdowns in 13 games this season. He is one of Tom Brady’s favorite red-zone targets, and his big-play ability makes him an ideal touchdown candidate each week. Evans hauled in a touchdown in Week 8’s matchup against New Orleans, and I like his chances of finding the end zone again tonight. He gets plenty of targets, and New Orleans doesn’t have a match for his size. The Tampa Bay offense is on a roll and Evans is likely to be involved tonight. Look for Tom Brady to target him early and often, especially in the red zone.

Taysom Hill over 45.5 rushing yards (-113)
Hill brings some versatility to the New Orleans offense. He may not be able to outgun Brady and the Tampa Bay offense through the air, but he can make plays with his legs. Hill has rushed for 278 yards on 42 carries this season, good for an average of 6.6 yards per carry. In 2 starts as the Saints’ starting QB, Hill rushed for 101 yards against the Cowboys and 73 yards last week against the Jets. Tampa Bay has a stout rushing defense, but they let Josh Allen carve them up on the ground for 109 rushing yards on 12 carries last week. Hill seems to be in line for plenty of rushing attempts tonight, and I like his chances at exceeding this number.
