Best Bets for Thursday Night Football
Best Bets for Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins continue the search for their first win of the NFL season when they travel to Western New York on Thursday night as sinking 12.5-point underdogs on the NFL odds. After being thoroughly outclassed in a 33-8 season-opening loss in Indianapolis, the Dolphins offense showed more signs of life in Sunday's home opener versus New England but were unable to keep pace in a 33-27 loss to the Patriots.
After a slow start, Tua Taglovailoa gave the Dolphins a chance to win while connecting for 315 passing yards and two touchdowns. However, the Miami pivot also tossed his third pick of the season and was constantly on the run behind a porous offensive line that allowed him to get sacked five times. Things get no easier in Buffalo, where Tua has led the Dolphins to just one win in five appearances. Against a ferocious Bills defense that slammed the door on the New York Jets in Sunday's win, Tagovailoa should be backed on the NFL player props as a -180 wager to complete UNDER 1.5 scoring passes.
Best Bets for Buffalo Bills
The New York Jets did their best to contain Josh Allen on Sunday afternoon, but even a bloody nose was not enough to slow down the Bills pivot as Buffalo rolled to an easy 30-10 victory at MetLife Stadium. Perched among the favorites on the NFL MVP odds, Allen should get consideration as a +125 wager on the NFL passing props to connect for 250+ yards.
But as was the case versus the Jets, it should surprise no one if Allen takes a seat in favor of backup Mitch Trubiusky should the Bills run up the score. Considering the struggles that the Dolphins have faced against the rush, running back James Cook who should attract plenty of attention from sports bettors. Cook topped 100 rushing yards for the fourth time in eight outings last weekend and offers value to gallop for OVER 75.5 rushing yards on Thursday night.
Best Thursday night Football Picks
- Tua Tagovailoa: UNDER 1.5 touchdown passes | -180
- Josh Allen: 250+ passing yards | +125
- James Cook: OVER 75.5 rushing yards | +115
Best Events to Use the BetMGM Bonus Code For Thursday September 18
- WNBA: A'ja Wilson, OVER 24.5 points | -130. The Las Vegas Aces stormed to a 17th straight victory and a 1-0 series lead in their first round clash on the strength of A'ja Wilson. The former first overall pick has dropped at least 23 points in 14 of those 17 wins and with a series victory within reach, look for Wilson to continue to produce, paying out as -130 bet on the WNBA odds to top 24.5 points in Game 2 on Tuesday night.
- MLB: Toronto Blue Jays, -1.5 | +145. The Tuesday MLB betting schedule features a clash of AL East rivals heading in opposite directions as the first-place Blue Jays visit the rapidly fading Tampa Bay Rays. Toronto has surrendered just eight total runs during a 5-0 surge and with probable starter Jose Berrios limiting opponents to two or fewer runs in five of seven starts, look for the Jays to further reduce their magic number with a decisive win by a multi-run margin, paying out as a +145 bet on the MLB odds.
