'Monday Night Football:' Double down on this doubleheader

The NFL Week 4 slate provided excellent drama all Sunday afternoon, but we're not done just yet. Roger Goodell is hooking us up again with a "Monday Night Football" doubleheader to close out the week. First up, the Tennessee Titans are taking on the Miami Dolphins in an AFC battle. Then, the Detroit Lions will take on the Seattle Seahawks in a showdown between two of the early contenders in the NFC.

With two games on the schedule for Monday night, let's have double the fun with a Same Game Parlay+. 

Double the football, double the fun

Titans @ Dolphins

Leg 1: First half under 19.5

Tyler Huntley will be making his first start for the Dolphins after joining the team only two weeks ago, so we expect this to be a slow start for Miami's offense. Mike McDaniel will ease Huntley into the new offense with short, easy passes in the first half, and the Dolphins will likely have a tough time creating explosive plays. The Titans rank 28th in the NFL in yards per play and 25th in offensive DVOA, so we don't expect them to come out hot, either. 

Leg 2: Tyreek Hill over 4.5 receptions

The Dolphins need to get Hill more involved in this offense if they want to stay competitive with a backup quarterback. Skylar Thompson couldn't get it done last week, but Huntley has much more experience in this league and knows what he has in Hill. Miami will draw up screens and short passes for Hill to get the ball in his hands and let him do what he does best. That might not lead to a receiving yards over, but he should be busy enough to clear his receptions prop. 

Seahawks @ Lions

Leg 3: David Montgomery anytime touchdown

The Lions should roll out a run-heavy attack against this beat-up Seahawks defense. Seattle has already ruled out Leonard Williams, Byron Murphy, Cameron Young, Uchenna Nwosu and Boye Mafe in the front seven, so Detroit will try to take advantage by riding Montgomery behind this dominant offensive line. Montgomery has also scored a touchdown in all three games so far. 

Leg 4: Jaxon Smith-Njigba over 49.5 receiving yards

Move over, Tyler Lockett. There's a new No. 2 wide receiver in Seattle. Smith-Njigba has out-snapped Lockett in all three games this season, and he led all Seahawks wide receivers in snaps (56) in Week 3. We expect the Seahawks to play from behind in this matchup, which should lead to more targets for the talented wideout. 

Put it all together, and we get a +977 SGP+ on FanDuel. Let's cash!


In the news ...

Ravens, Commanders, Vikings grab impressive wins to highlight NFL Week 4 — There were three clear winners of NFL Week 4 after the dust settled on Sunday night. The Baltimore Ravens dominated the Buffalo Bills to improve to 2-2 after their 0-2 start, the Washington Commanders dropped 42 points on the Arizona Cardinals as Jayden Daniels continued to dominate and the Minnesota Vikings improved to 4-0 with a hard-fought win against the Green Bay Packers on the road. Minnesota, the only 4-0 team in the NFC, is +110 to win the division and +700 to win the conference. 

Chiefs fear Rashee Rice tore his ACL against Chargers — Rice entered Week 4 as the leading receiver in the NFL with 24 catches through three games, but he might not play another game this season. The talented wide receiver injured his knee while trying to make a tackle after a Patrick Mahomes interception, and he had to be carted off the field and back to the locker room. The Kansas City Chiefs fear Rice tore his ACL, which would likely knock him out for the rest of the year. The Chiefs are still +500 favorites to win the Super Bowl. 

Mets, Braves to face off in Monday doubleheader to decide final NL wild-card spots — The New York Mets and Atlanta Braves will take center stage on Monday with a doubleheader to close out the MLB regular season. If either team sweeps the doubleheader, they and the Arizona Diamondbacks will make the playoffs as wild-card teams. If they split the two-game set, the Mets and Braves will both make the postseason. Buckle up for a big day in Atlanta. The Braves are -152 favorites in Game 1.

Quick Picks

1 Jonnu Smith anytime touchdown scorer 

One thing we know about Huntley is he loves feeding his tight ends, especially in the red zone. He consistently targeted Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely during his time with the Ravens, so we'll take a shot on Smith to find the end zone at a huge price.

Latest Odds:  +800
2 Zach Charbonnet anytime touchdown scorer

This price is way off, as other sportsbooks have Charbonnet as low as +188 to score a touchdown. The Seahawks running back scored three touchdowns in two games without Kenneth Walker. Even though Walker is expected to return for this game, he likely won't be able to handle a full workload. 

Latest Odds:  +410
3 Lions team total over 26.5

Detroit has arguably the best run-blocking offensive line in the NFL, and this unit should dominate a Seahawks front seven missing several key players. Seattle's defense is coming in a bit overrated after facing Bo Nix, Jacoby Brissett and Thompson in the first three weeks of the season. This is a major step up in class. 

Latest Odds:  -105
4 Detroit Tigers to win the series

Sometimes all it takes to make a run in October is to be the hot team entering the playoffs, and no one is playing with more confidence than the Tigers. Detroit went on a 15-3 run down the stretch to backdoor its way into the postseason, and it's gone 7-2 in Tarik Skubal's last nine starts. Let's ride the hot hand to upset the Houston Astros. 

Latest Odds:  +150
