Tyler Shough over 16.5 rushing yards

Shough has already shown the ability to make plays with his legs, and the 16.5-yard line gives him some room for error. Atlanta’s defense is expected to put pressure on the quarterback, which could create opportunities for Shough to escape the pocket and pick up yards.

Shough’s rushing prop has been listed around this range, making the over an appealing number.

Michael Penix over 218.5 passing yards

Penix enters Monday night after an impressive season debut against Green Bay, completing 18 of 25 passes for 256 yards and a touchdown. He also has a favorable matchup against a New Orleans defense that has allowed a lot of yards and points this season.

With Atlanta expected to lean on its passing game if the Saints slow down the run, Penix has a strong opportunity to clear 218.5 yards.

Drake London over 5.5 receptions

London is coming off a monster Week 3 performance in which he caught nine passes for 194 yards against the Packers. He now gets another opportunity with Penix under center, and the quarterback-receiver connection looked excellent in Atlanta’s win.

London has 15 receptions on 20 targets through three games, and his current reception prop is set at 5.5.

Six catches would be enough to cash this over.

Alvin Kamara over 15.5 receiving yards

This is an especially interesting number because Kamara’s receiving ability remains an important part of the Saints’ offense. His receiving prop has been listed at 16.5 yards, with his career average sitting at 38.8 receiving yards per game

With Atlanta boasting one of the league’s stronger run defenses, New Orleans could lean more heavily on Kamara as a receiver. That makes 16 receiving yards a very attainable number.
