We are lucky enough to have an NFL doubleheader on Monday night, which means more opportunities to bet! The early game is Tennessee Titans vs Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen and co will continue their Super Bowl campaign at Nissan Stadium in the Bills’ home opener. Last season, the Titans pulled out a 34-31 victory on the road behind a 3-TD performance from Derrick Henry. Let’s delve into the picks!
Be sure to check out our full game analysis and Titans vs Bills picks.
Treylon Burks longest reception over 15.5 yards (-115, DraftKings)
The Titans graded out as one of the best pass-blocking offensive lines in Week 1 and they will need to again if they want to remain competitive with the Bills on Monday night. Rookie Treylon Burks was second on the team in targets and led the Titans with an aDOT (average depth of target) of 19 yards. The Bills defense will do all they can to stop Derrick Henry and in doing so, Burks should have a few chances to take the top off this Bills secondary.
A lot was being made about how they held up against the Rams in the season opener, but I attribute that more to the pass rush. The Titans should pass-protect much better than LA did and seeing Burks’ number this low was too good to ignore. It’s a 1-unit play for me and play it up to 16.5.
Isaiah McKenzie over 25.5 receiving yards (-115, Caesars)
This is an overreaction to Week 1, when Jamison Crowder stole most of the Bills’ slot reps from McKenzie, but that was more related to the defensive scheme they were facing. In Week 1 against the Titans, Richie James Jr. of the Giants operated out of the slot 73% of the time and led the team in targets with 6.
McKenzie can make a man miss and really turn a short pass into a 15-plus yard gain. I believe we will see McKenzie getting closer to 4-5 targets on Monday night and this line is worth pouncing on. Have 0.5 units on this and play it up to 26.5.
