Thursday Night Football Preview: Best Bets on Davante Adams

• Betting on Davante Adams to score a touchdown is an excellent bet made even better when parlaying it with a Las Vegas Raiders win for +110 odds.
• Davante Adams to score the first touchdown of the game has +460 odds and is an equally appealing bet.
• Combining both bets to get Davante Adams as the first touchdown scorer and the Raiders to win has +525 odds and is likely the best bet for Thursday Night Football.

LOS ANGELES – Thursday Night Football may have lost some of its luster with many of the Los Angeles Rams‘ top players out, but that does not mean excellent value cannot be had when betting on the Las Vegas Raiders at Bovada.

Los Angeles Rams vs Las Vegas Raiders Betting Odds

Team:	Spread:	Win:	Total:
Las Vegas Raiders	-6.0 (-110)	-260	O44.5 (-110)
Los Angeles Rams	+6.0 (-110)	215	U44.5 (-110)

Betting on the game itself may be a little hard to predict based on the injuries on the Rams side, but betting on the Raiders player props seems to be straightforward.

Season-long statistics suggest that it is clearly Davante Adams and Josh Jacobs whom bettors should focus on, as the pair has combined for 22 of the Raider’s 32 total touchdowns this season.

Betting on Davante Adams

Long considered the game’s best receive, Davante Adams may not be getting the respect he deserves at NFL sportsbooks.

Specifically, when betting on Derek Carr’s best receiver to score a touchdown and for the Las Vegas Raiders to win.

This special bet that is only offered at Bovada pays gives players +110 odds.

The Raiders have won seven of their last eight games as a favorite of at least six points, meaning players are effectively just betting on Adams to score a touchdown.

That bet has -162 odds at Bovada without including the Raiders to win, with it clearly a worthwhile add with minimal risk.

Two of the key trends that support Davante Adams scoring a touchdown are:

• Davante has scored at least one touchdown in four of the Raiders’ last five games. Incredibly, the lone game he did not score in, the Raiders as a team scored five.
• Through 12 weeks, Davante Adams has as many games with zero touchdowns as he does two. Players that want to bet on two touchdowns by Davante get +330 odds.

Betting on Davante Adams to Score the First Touchdown

Davante Adams is clearly very likely to score a touchdown, but players can get even more value when betting on him to score the first touchdown:

• Davante Adams to score the first touchdown for the Raiders: +240
• Davante Adams to score the first touchdown for either team: +460

Either of the choices above on Davante Adams to score the first touchdown at legal sportsbooks are excellent bets strictly for the Raiders because he is responsible for their first touchdown in five of their eleven games with a touchdown.

Even more in-depth, the Raiders are very likely to win and score more points than the Rams.

As such, the odds on Adams scoring the first touchdown for the game should likely be slightly shorter as the Rams scoring is not that likely.

With Davante the premier player in this game it really only makes sense that he will get highlighted and he is the best player to bet on.

Sportsbooks also have a bet on Davante Adams to score the first touchdown of the game and the Raiders to win the game for +525 odds.

That bet is a combination of both styles of Davante Adams bets combined, and the best bet for Thursday Night Football based on the elongated payout.
