We have put together a list of all of the day’s best odds boosts, which are from DraftKings Sportsbook, FanDuel Sportsbook, and PointsBet Sportsbook. We’ll discuss whether or not they are worth playing. Let’s dive in.

Aaron Rodgers or Jameis Winston to record a pass over 49.5 yards – Boosted from +155 to +175 with DraftKings Sportsbook

After all the offseason drama, Aaron Rodgers is back on the Packers for this season. The Saints on the other hand, lost Drew Brees to retirement and will be starting Jameis Winston. This prop will need either quarterback to record of pass of over 50 yards and Rodgers and the Packers looks the most likely candidate to do that. That’s because they have Davante Adams. He is one of the best wide receivers in the league, and with his speed, this looks to be worth a small play.

Tua Tagovailoa & Mac Jones to record 3+ combined passing touchdowns – Boosted from -125 to -115 with DraftKings Sportsbook

The two former Alabama quarterbacks will face off in Week 1 in what should be an interesting matchup. Mac Jones being the starter for the New England Patriots and Tua Tagovailoa being the starter for the Miami Dolphins. Tagovailoa has 1 year of experience under his belt and should only improve this season, while Jones could make some rookie mistakes. Still, I expect both teams to be able to move the ball and with the weapons each side has, asking them to combine for 3 passing touchdowns looks to be worth a play.

DeAndre Hopkins or Julio Jones to record a touchdown in the 1st half – Boosted from +150 to +190 with DraftKings Sportsbook

Two of the best wide receivers will be involved in this prop and we just need one of them to record a touchdown. Both Arizona and Tennessee have competent quarterbacks in Kyler Murray (Arizona) and Ryan Tannehill (Tennessee), so backing this prop is worth a shot.

Raheem Mostert to score 2+ TDs vs Detroit – Boosted from +500 to +600 with FanDuel Sportsbook

This prop is more of a longshot as we will need Raheem Mostert to record 2 touchdowns against Detroit. Even though Detroit is going to be bad, San Francisco has a rotation of running backs, making it hard to predict Mostert to be involved in every play. For that reason, this looks to be a prop to avoid.

Sam Darnold to pass for 2+ TDs and Carolina Panthers to win vs New York Jets – Boosted from +180 to +230 with FanDuel Sportsbook

Sam Darnold will make his NFL debut against his former team and he will need 2 passing touchdowns plus a Carolina win for this prop. Our experts would lean to New York to cover with Zach Wilson, but a Carolina win still could be likely. For that reason, this prop looks to be worth a small play.

Toronto Blue Jays, Chicago White Sox and Oakland A’s all to win – Boosted from +230 to +320 with FanDuel Sportsbook

Here we will need 3 teams to win and our experts like 2 of the teams involved. We like both Toronto and Oakland to pick up wins. As for the White Sox, they will battle the Red Sox. Boston has Nick Pivetta on the mound, while Chicago has Lance Lynn. Lynn has been excellent this season, so backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.

Derrick Henry 100+ rushing yards and Tennessee Titans to win – Boosted from +155 to +175 with PointsBet Sportsbook

Derrick Henry will look to begin his 2021-2022 season on the right note and we will need him to record at least 100 yards rush. We will also need the Titans to win, something our experts love this afternoon. Henry averaged 126.6 yards per game last season, so backing this prop looks to be worth a play.

Aaron Donald and Khalil Mack to record 1+ sack each – Boosted from +215 to +245 with PointsBet Sportsbook

Aaron Donald and Khalil Mack will face each other on Sunday night and here we will need both players to record a sack. Mack had 9.0 sacks last season, while Donald had 13.5. They are both elite at their positions, so backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.

Davante Adams 75+ receiving yards and 1+ touchdown – Boosted from +130 to +150 with PointsBet Sportsbook

Davante Adams is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL and will look to prove that on Sunday afternoon. For this prop, we will need Adams to record 75+ receiving yards and at least 1 touchdown. With Aaron Rodgers under center, this looks to be worth a small play.
