Sunday of NFL Week 3 will come to a close with Sunday Night Football between the Kansas City Chiefs (2-0) and Atlanta Falcons (1-1) at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, with kickoff set for 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.
Beyond spread and total bets, I'm looking at Chiefs vs. Falcons props for anytime touchdown scorers on Sunday Night Football.
Here are my two Sunday Night Football picks for Chiefs-Falcons.
Gilles Gallant's Chiefs vs. Falcons Touchdown Scorer Props
Drake London Anytime Touchdown (+210)
Drake London scored a touchdown in the Falcons' Monday night win over the Eagles last week, as he played nearly 100% of the team's offensive snaps and ran a route on 86% of Kirk Cousin's dropbacks.
London has three red zone targets through two games so far this season, and he’s ranked in the top-20 in that category in each of the last two seasons.
His lofty target share didn't result in an abundance of touchdowns in previous years. However, he's finally playing with a competent QB now, with Cousins under center.
If the Chiefs jump out to an early lead in this game, I like my chances even more for London to score in what will likely be a negative game script for Atlanta.
Darnell Mooney Anytime Touchdown (+320)
I’m doubling-up on Falcons' pass catchers in Sunday night's matchup.
Darnell Mooney was amazing in last week's win over the Eagles, as he managed to reel in a long touchdown catch, and had the same amount of targets as Drake London.
Much like London, Mooney has been on the field for all of the Falcons' two-WR sets.
Through two games, the Chiefs have mostly held running backs in check. Plus, I’m still not convinced this is Bijan Robinson’s backfield, as RB2 Tyler Allgeier recorded four red zone carries last week.
If you prefer to swap one of Mooney or London for Ray-Ray McLoud at +450, I don't mind either of those choices as well. But the London-Mooney combo should see plenty of opportunity this Sunday.
Bonne Chance!
