📈 MARKET MOVERS: Historic performance leads to huge odds shift
PointsBet: A Fanatics Experience data and insights
OPENING KICKOFF: 8:15 p.m. ET
KEY FACTS: In four games against teams with non-winning records (like the Raiders) this season, the Lions won all of them by at least 14 points. Las Vegas is the only team that hasn’t scored more than 21 points in a single contest 😬.
MAKING MOVES: The Lions opened as 7.5-point home favorites and were quickly bet up to as high as -9.5. The spread has been slowing dropping ever since, with it touching Lions -7 for the first time this morning. Meanwhile, the total has jumped up 1.5 points from 45 to 46.5.
TOP PROPS: With David Montgomery missing another game due to a rib injury, bettors have circled in on Lions rookie tailback Jahmyr Gibbs. Gibbs anytime touchdown scorer is the most popular player prop bet by tickets for MNF, and he has the shortest odds for this market at -190.
The most popular MNF player prop by handle 💵 is Raiders tailback Josh Jacobs 12+ rushing attempts. One Michigan bettor laid $11,248.59 on Jacobs 12+ rushing attempts at -375 for a total potential payout of $14,248.59.
EXPERT PICKS
Two-sport star Ariel Epstein has an over for an NFL player prop and an under for the World Series. Kazeem "Kaz" Famuyide is banking on a big game from his preseason NBA MVP pick.
THE PROP QUEEN
Rangers at Diamondbacks: Under 9.5 Runs (-120) [8:03 p.m. ET]
“The total is inflated due to the first two games. The Diamondbacks have been more profitable to the under at Chase Field. Arizona SP Brandon Pfaadt had scoreless outings vs. Dodgers and Phillies when facing them the first time around this postseason.”
“Jacobs has the second-most targets of any RB and is one of six RBs with more than 200 receiving yards. The Lions have given up at least 20 receiving yards to three RBs and even a FB.”
THE NBA GURU
Timberwolves G Anthony Edwards Over 25.5 Points (-115) [7:30 p.m. ET]
“Edwards is coming home to Atlanta and he’s knocked down 7 of 12 threes in his first two games this season. I see him attacking a suspect Hawks defense all night long.”

PointsBet: A Fanatics Experience data and insights
Arguably the most shocking 😮 performance of the NFL season has led to one of the craziest odds shifts you’ll see in an awards market.
Titans QB Will Levis became the third player ever to throw for four touchdowns in his first NFL game 🤯, joining Fran Tarkenton and Marcus Mariota. After his arm led Tennessee to a 28-23 victory over the Falcons, Levis now finds himself tied for the fourth-lowest odds to win NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Levis sat all the way up at +15000 for NFL OROY before his historic effort, which was tied for the longest odds in the market. He’s currently listed at +2000, along with preseason OROY favorite Bijan Robinson. Those two trail C.J. Stroud at -200, Puka Nacua at +350 and Jordan Addison at +1200.
A $5 dream into nearly $4,500! This New York 🗽 bettor zeroed in on props for four NBA players this past Saturday, needing double doubles from three of them.
The closest call was the Cade Cunningham leg, as the Pistons guard was still stuck on 9 assists with under a minute to go. But Cunningham found Killian Hayes for three with 44.1 seconds left to secure the double double.
