Thursday Night Football

New Orleans Saints @ LA Rams

Pick: Rams -4 / Wager: 4%

Pick: Cooper Kupp anytime TD / Wager: 2%

Pick: Kyren Williams over 91.5 yards rushing / Wager: 2%

Pick: Cooper Kupp over 73.5 yards receiving / Wager: 3%

Tonight, as the New Orleans Saints face off against the Los Angeles Rams, the stakes are high and the strategies are sharper than ever. With Derek Carr’s Saints stepping into the arena as road underdogs against Matthew Stafford’s red-hot Rams, the betting landscape is buzzing with anticipation. Recent performances have placed the Rams among the top bets against the spread this season, while the Saints have had their struggles, positioning them unfavorably as we head into Week 16’s Thursday Night Football.

Here at BrownBagBets, we’re tuning into the expert consensus, which is heavily favoring the Rams at -4. The quick turnaround of Thursday Night Football often brings unexpected twists, but the data and expert opinions are aligning with the Los Angeles Rams, backed by Sean McVay’s strategic prowess and a team that’s consistently outperformed expectations.

The Saints might be coming off two dominant wins, but those victories were on home turf against teams with lackluster records. Notably, their rush defense has been a point of weakness, a fact that hasn’t escaped our notice. Kyren Williams, with his impressive near-500 yards in just four games since returning, is expected to exploit this vulnerability. Our projection sees him not just hitting, but surpassing the 91.5 rushing yards mark as he faces a Saints team struggling to balance their defense against a multifaceted Rams offense.

And let’s talk about Cooper Kupp. When he’s in form, he’s virtually unstoppable, and recent games suggest he’s back to his peak. The Saints’ strong pass defense faces a unique challenge against Kupp, who we see not just as a receiver but as a versatile threat akin to a joker tight end. Our analysis suggests Kupp is set for a big night, exceeding 73.5 receiving yards and finding the end zone at least once. With the Rams’ offense clicking and averaging an impressive 6.0 yards per play over their last three games, we’re looking at a team that’s found its rhythm at the right.

Boca Raton Bowl

University of South Florida vs Syracuse

Pick: University of South Florida +3.5 / Wager: 3%

NCAAM Plays

Dartmouth @ Sacred Heart

Pick: Dartmouth +3 / Wager: 3%

Dartmouth's solid defensive statistics, particularly against Sacred Heart's weaker offense, suggest they can keep the game closer than the spread indicates. The line movement and public betting on Sacred Heart might have created value on Dartmouth as underdogs.

Manhattan @ Monmouth

Pick: Over 139.5 / Wager: 4%

UT - Arlington @ Texas Tech

Pick: under 144 / Wager: 3%

Nevada @ Temple

Pick: under 148 / Wager: 3%

TCU @ Old Dominion

Pick: under 147.5 / Wager: 3%

Lehigh @ Boston College

Pick: under 150.5 / Wager: 2%

Samford @ TX Southern

Pick: under 153.5 / Wager: 3%

South Dakota State @ San Diego

Pick: Under 160 / wager: 3%

NBA Plays

Magic @ Bucks

Pick: Over 235.5 / Wager: 3%

The Bucks seem to be synonymous with a high action, fast paced game. 5-0 over in the last 5, 9 of the last 10. That’s all we got here.

Jazz @ Pistons

Pick: Pistons ML / Wager: 2%

Fun Fact for all the kids out there - the last time the Pistons won a game, the Texas Rangers were up 1-0 in the World Series. The Jazz on the second of a back to back - without Jordan Clarkson and Keyonte George, we say, why not?

Pacers @ Grizzlies

Pick: Grizzlies -2.5 / Wager: 3%

Pick: Ja Morant over 46.5 Points + Rebs + Assts / Wager: 2%

Haliburton vs Morant - how can we not play this match up? Ja getting his first home game of the season feels like an electric environment that we just can’t ignore here.

Parlay Play

Clippers @ Thunder

Lakers @ Timberwolves

Pick: Thunder ML - Timberwolves ML @ +100 / Wager: 2%

Paul George and Kawhi Leonard are in question for tonight’s tip. So we like the value in betting on one or even both to sit and get the value on the odds while we can. We’ve got projections of the Timberwolves covering the line as the favorite upwards of 65% of the time. So this +100 play feels really good to us.

Spurs @ Bulls

Pick: DeMar DeRozan over 33.5 Points + Rebs + Assts / Wager: 3%

Pick: Victor Wembanyama over 3.5 Blks + Steals / Wager: 2%

Pick: Coby White over 33.5 Points + Rebs + Assts / Wager: 3%

The Coby White player prop has been so much fun for all of us, hasn’t it? Literally killing it with this one. He did struggle against the Lakers, but we would argue the match up was just a tough one for a guy who had been so consistent prior to it. We come back to the over tonight. Victor Wembanyama blocks shots like he’s swatting flies. 3.5 and we get to include a potential steal? Why not? Lastly, DeMar has been becoming very consistent in terms of hitting this target at almost 66% hit rate for the last 9 games.
