It's the end of Week 3, it's time to recoup some coins from the weekend. Luckily, we've got two games on for Monday Night Football.
The Bengals are hosting the Commanders in Cincinnati and the Jaguars are in Buffalo to take on the Bills.
Let's jump right into it.
Here are our favorite props for tonight's TWO Primetime games!
Tee Higgins to Score a Touchdown (+170) via BetOnline
The Bengals', Tee Higgins makes his much anticipated debut tonight against the Commanders.
Tee Higgins is back ya'll. After going back and forth with the team, he was franchise tagged for the 2024 season, essentially once again entering a 'contract season'.
Last season, Higgins played in just 12 games, averaging 54.7 yards per game and he scored 5 touchdowns. Over his last 6 healthy games last year, Higgins was averaging over 6 targets per game and scored 3 of his 5 touchdowns.
He's been a huge part of this offense since he was drafted in 2020, scoring 24 touchdowns in 58 career games; averaging 65.4 yards per game and recording 2 1000-yard seasons.
Higgins had his worst statistical season last year and the Bengals are still paying him top-5 money, it's because they know what he can do when he's healthy. Now the Bengals are 0-2 to start the season and they finally get 1 of their 2 big guns back.
The Commanders have given up, a league-worst 6 touchdowns to wideouts this year; allowing 3 per contest. The Commanders have given up touchdowns to the both the #1 and #2 receivers in back to back weeks, and tonight face one of the best tandems in football.

The Bills commitment to the run is clear.
If there's something we've learned through the first two weeks of this season, it's the Buffalo Bills are going to run the ball and run it hard.
In Week 1 against the Dolphins, the Bills ran the ball 33 time and Allen finished with just 23 pass attempts. This was in a game where Buffalo was down 17-3 at one point, before going on to win 34-28.
Last week against the Dolphins on Thursday Night Football, the Bills ran the ball 26 times and passed just 19 times. Cook saw just 11 carries in this one, coming off a short week; but still averaged 7.1 yards per carry and scoring 2 touchdowns.
Against the Cardinals, Cook ran for 71 yards on 19 attempts, and failed to get into the endzone; that's the kind of workload he should see tonight after getting an extra few days to rest.

The Bengals are 0-2 and desperate for a win on Monday Night.
The Bengals are 0-2 this year and staring down the barrel of being the only team in the AFC North without a win. Luckily for them, they play the Commanders on Monday Night Football.
The Commanders are 1-1 this season, losing their season opener to the Buccaneers; but snagging a win against the Giants last week. In last week's win over New York, the Commanders became the first team ever to give up 3 touchdowns to 0, and still win the game.
The Giants had no kicker; the Commander's kicker, Austin Seibert, went 7/7 and scored 21 points on his own. This week the Commanders are visiting a win-less Bengals squad that needs to get it together.
The Benagls rank 2nd last in rushing this year, averaging just 72 yards per game this year. Both Chase Brown and Zack Moss have struggled to move the ball, and Joe Burrow looks like he's still getting his groove back.
Last week Burrow threw for 258 yards, 2 touchdowns and no interceptions. This was big step above the 168 yards he recorded in Week 1, with no touchdowns.
Over his 5ish seasons with the Bengals, Burrow averages 268.8 passing yards per game, he's thrown 99 touchdowns to 37 interceptions and he's done it all while completing 68% of his pass attempts; 3rd among starting QBs with 40+ games played.
Joey B has been elite since he entered the league and its time he puts the squad on his back, and leads them to victory.
