Week Ten Thursday Night Football Odds and Best Bets: Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers

If the Texans somehow managed to score two fewer points last Thursday, I would’ve gone a perfect 4-0. However, I’m going to have to settle with my 3-1 record, which brings my overall Thursday Night Football record to 16-15. 

We’re going to try and break my will they/won't they record this week because I’m sick of just being one game over 500. In order to do that, I’ll be giving out four best bets for this Thursday’s game between the Falcons and Panthers, with odds provided by DraftKings Sportsbook.  If you need a sportsbook to place your bets, check out these New Jersey Online Casinos.

Best Bet #1: Marcus Mariota OVER 157.5 Passing Yards (-115)

As you can tell from my fantasy sleepers article, I love the Falcons this Thursday. Mariota has had a tough go at it recently, throwing for 150+ yards just once in his last six games. However, that one game he managed to do it in was against the Panthers, so I’m expecting a replay of his success from just a few weeks ago. 

Best Bet #2: Cordarelle Patterson Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+110)

Patterson played for the first time in a month last week, and scored two touchdowns upon his return. Patterson is a huge part of this Falcons' offense and should find success rushing against the 3rd worst rushing defense in the league. The Panthers are coming off of a week where they just gave up four rushing touchdowns to Joe Mixon, so it’s not a stretch to say this Panthers' defense needs some help. 

Best Bet #3: Atlanta Falcons Second Half -1 (-105)

Want to hear a pretty crazy stat? The Falcons have been a great second-half team this year and currently have a record of 6-3 in the second half of their games so far this season. I think the Falcons will win outright as well, so this one comes as a bit of a no-brainer. 

Best Bet #4: Tyler Allgeier OVER 31.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

I’m quadrupling down on the Falcons here with my fourth-best bet, so this week will either be great or awful for me. I’m still banking on the Panthers' awful rush defense to…well…still be awful on Thursday night, so I’m taking Allgeier here as well.
