Sunday Night Football Week 6 gives us the Cincinnati Bengals (-3.5) heading to New Jersey to take on the New York Giants, with the total currently sitting at 47.5. The Bengals, in my opinion, are the best 1-4 team in the NFL and played well last week but suffered a devastating overtime loss to the Ravens. The Giants, on the other hand, are coming off a road win against Seattle despite missing rookie WR Malik Nabers (concussion protocol); he will miss Week 6, as well. For Daniel Jones, he is starting to pick it up following a rough start to the season. In the last 3 games he has completed no less than 67% of his passes, has 4 TDs to 1 INT, and the Giants are 2-1 during this strecth.
Here is my best prop bet for Sunday Night Football.

It’s a small sample size for Theo Johnson without Malik Nabers, but early returns were positive: a season high in targets (5), receptions (5) and yards (48) last weekend. In addition to the obvious stats, he had a season high in route %, yards per route run and 1st downs. The Bengals represent another positive matchup for Johnson coming off is breakout against Seattle. Cincinnati is bottom 14 in the league in targets and receptions to opposing TEs, including last week against Baltimore — when both Mark Andrews and Charlie Kolar eclipsed 50 yards. 1u.
