Panthers vs. Texans, Thu Sept 23, 8:20pm (EST)

PICK: Christian McCaffrey to score 2+ TDs (+255)

Christian McCaffrey is a genuine freak and come into this week as the most likely touchdown scorer across the whole slate.

Our model is currently projecting him to go for 1.2 TDs which is the highest we've ever seen! After multiple stars got in for 2+ TDs in Week 2, we're taking CMC to get in the endzone on more than one occasion at tasty odds!

PICK: Sam Darnold UNDER 1.5 passing TDs (+112)

This is is a bit different, but as we're taking McCaffrey to score a couple of tuddies, we're also betting on Sam Darnold to throw one TD or less!

Our model currently projects the QB to land 1.4 passing scores, which at plus money presents great value.

PICK: Mark Ingram OVER 33.5 rushing yards (-120)

Mark Ingram has rushed 85(!!) and 41 yards so far this season and should get more opportunities to run the ball with the inexperienced David Mills in the center for the Texans.

DimersBOT has him going for 39 right now, but if he can get upwards 26 carries like he did in Week 1, he could fly past his line of 33.5!
