Sunday nights lead to the Monday blues, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t green to be made on NFL Monday Night Football. Whether playing on tilt or letting it ride, this valuable two-legger will set you in the right direction—odds provided by Bodog, stats and rankings by Fox Sports.
Seattle Seahawks -3.0 -110 Vs. Houston Texans
Out of all the offenses with massive turnover this offseason, the Seattle Seahawks may have had the lowest expectations, but they are clicking on all cylinders. Their opponents, on the other hand, are one of the bigger disappointments of the season.

The Houston Texans have the Swiss cheese of offenses, so many holes, it’s almost as if they don’t care about quarterback CJ Stroud. They get a slight edge in defense, but it’s still two stout units. These are two top-six scoring defenses. Before Sunday, the Seahawks had the most points scored in the NFC West, while the Texans are realistically out of playoff contention already.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers At Detroit Lions Over 53.0 -115
Two veteran gunslingers are scheduled for an offensive duel on NFL Monday Night Football. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are averaging 27.5 PPG heading into the game, while the Detroit Lions, with 31.8 PPG, rank them second, only behind the Indianapolis Colts.
Quarterback Baker Mayfield has proven the ability to work with anyone, as the Buccaneers wait for big names to return from injury. His positional adversary, Jared Goff, is leading the Lions to another offensive powerhouse season, albeit with a healthier and more talented roster.

As important as these elite offenses are to this best bet, their lacklustre defenses are a close second. Neither team’s scoring defense is breaking the top-15. These two teams are already averaging a combined 59.3 PPG, and there is more expected, with both teams receiving a subpar defensive challenge.
The Parlay +250
These are great matchups to cash a +250, two-leg parlay. The Texans don’t know what an offense is in the first game, while it’s destined to be a shootout between the Buccaneers and Lions.
