Week 8 TNF Preview



We have the Bills at home against the Bucs. On the Bills side, you’re starting Josh Allen, and James Cook is a RB2 play - not a terrible matchup for him as the Bucs are giving up over 4 YPC to RBs, are middle of the pack in yards per reception to RBs, and they do allow RBs to be used in the receiving game.


You’re obviously starting Stefon Diggs, and I do like Gabe Davis as well… in fact, I like the over on him on Underdog. His line is set is 39.5, and I’m taking the over - the Bucs have been the 2nd worst team behind the Chargers in giving up 20+ yard passing plays, and that’s where Davis makes his money.


I also like Stefon Diggs going over 87.5 receiving yards as well for similar reasons; he had also gone over 100 yards receiving in 5 of 6 games coming into the New England game, a game which I had a good feeling that he wasn’t going to have that big yardage game in because we know the Patriots have been very good at taking the top offensive weapons away this season. I’m expecting a bounce back this week.


I also like the anytime TD on Latavius Murray - he’s their goal line back, and it was him who was on the field at the goal line last week, not James Cook.


On the other side of the ball, I like Mike Evans to go over on his receiving yards - his is set at 62.5 yards - I like the over there as well. Kendrick Bourne went over that last week against the Bills on the perimeter, Darius Slayton did it the week before, and Calvin Ridley did it in Week 5.
