NEW ORLEANS – There’s a long history between Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans and New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore to consider before betting on this Week 6 matchup. Despite Evans’ history of underperforming, legal sports betting odds favor Evans to go over 58.5 receiving yards with -130 odds on Sunday.
Mike Evans Receiving Yards Prop
- Over 58.5 Receiving Yards -130
- Under 58.5 Receiving Yards +100
Evans cleared this number in back-to-back games since being held to 17 yards against Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II in Week 3. Lattimore has shadowed Evans in a similar fashion throughout their 14-game rivalry, keeping him under 58.5 receiving yards in seven of those games.
Best Mike Evans Prop Vs New Orleans: Under 4.5 Receptions -115
Evans averages 12.0 yards per reception this season, so betting his under for receptions is a smarter wager than his receiving yards. Mike Evans projects for 4.5 receptions at FL sportsbook apps on Sunday, which he’s gone under in 11 straight games against the New Orleans Saints.
Mike Evans Receptions Prop
- Over 4.5 Receptions -115
- Under 4.5 Receptions -115
In addition to his struggles to get receptions, Mike Evans has struggled to contain his emotions when playing Lattimore and the Saints. Evans has been ejected once, served two separate one-game suspensions, and lost more than $100,000 worth of fines from on-field altercations with the Saints cornerback.
Still, the 6-foot-5 receiver is a threat to score and has done so five times in five games this season. Evans has +140 odds at legal NFL betting sites to score an anytime touchdown against the Saints.
Mike Evans Touchdown Scorer Props
- Anytime Touchdown +140
- To Score 2+ Touchdowns +1100
- Game’s First Touchdown Scorer +750
- Buccaneers’ First Touchdown Scorer +350
Evans was kept out of the endzone in 11 of 14 games against the Saints since they drafted Marshon Lattimore. However, the +1100 odds for multiple touchdowns are appealing with Evans scoring twice in two games already this season.
