As football enthusiasts gear up for another electrifying Sunday Night Football matchup, all eyes are on the game between the Chicago Bears and the Houston Texans in Week 2. In preparation for this clash, we are thrilled to announce the launch of the aforementioned, brand-new touchdown odds tool.
These insights were designed by NFL fantasy football expert Sean Koerner and the Action Analytics Team – and after Polk's touchdown, it's safe to say we have a pulse on the betting markets.
Our advanced NFL betting models identified three players with significant touchdown odds for Bears vs. Texans, and one of these picks is particularly noteworthy, making it worthy of a bet according to our data.
Let's delve into the Sunday Night Football touchdown projections and best bet for Week 2 utilizing our experts' analysis, matchup factors and other premium goodies from PRO.
Sunday Night Football Touchdown Projections for Week 2
PRO Projections recommend an edge of at least 3.5% for bettors who wish to solely follow projections.
Texans WR Stefon Diggs Touchdown Odds for Week 2
The best price grab for Diggs to score a touchdown is +175 on FanDuel. According to our data, PRO Projections peg Diggs' likelihood of hitting paydirt at 0.38. What does this mean in terms of potential value?
The calculated edge is a mere 1.6%, meaning that the projections and odds are closely aligned, and there isn't enough of an edge to make this a valuable bet.
Diggs, the newest addition to the Texans' lineup after coming over via trade this offseason, certainly has the talent and capability to find the end zone – he did twice in his debut.
Bears WR Keenan Allen Touchdown Odds for Week 2
Transitioning to another receiver on a new team, Keenan Allen's odds to score a touchdown currently stand at +350 on DraftKings.
PRO Projections indicate his touchdown probability at 0.24, resulting in a modest 1.8% edge. Similar to Diggs, this is another situation where the projections are well-aligned with the odds, yielding very little betting value.
Additionally, it is important to note that Allen is questionable for Sunday Night Football due to an injury. Bettors should be cautious and ensure they have up-to-date information on Allen’s health status before making any decisions.
