Bills vs Falcons prediction
Bills vs Falcons Best bet: Kyle Pitts Over 3.5 receptions (-115)
The Buffalo Bills are looking to bounce back after a prime-time loss, but the Atlanta Falcons — rested off a bye — aren’t an easy out.
This game is indoors, which typically boosts passing efficiency, and Michael Penix Jr. looked sharp in Week 4. With Kyle Pitts possibly more involved this week, it’s time to take another look at Atlanta's tight end.
Pitts is quietly seeing nearly a 20% target share and is lining up in the slot or out wide on 74% of snaps — more like a wide receiver than a traditional tight end. He’s coming off a 5-catch, 70-yard, 1-TD performance on just five targets and has hit his Over on this reception prop in every game so far.
An indoor matchup at home shouldn't hurt those numbers, and a possible absence for Bills linebacker Matt Milano — who plays a key role in covering tight ends — only strengthens the case. Also worth noting: WR2 Darnell Mooney has yet to practice this week, a bad sign coming off a bye.
Pitts' anytime TD price at +220 or better is appealing, but the real value is in his reception prop. If the Falcons are trailing and Mooney is sidelined, it's hard to see Pitts not clearing a modest receptions total.
Bills vs Falcons MNF same-game parlay
Both coaches discussed this week the importance of not getting "too cute" and focusing on execution over gimmicks.
That sounds like a game that sets up with a lot of running and getting the tight ends involved. Both Pitts and Dalton Kincaid could be the No. 2 options in the passing game Monday night, and near the goal line is where they can earn their pay.
Nothing too fancy here, just two talented TEs to find paydirt in a game with a 50-point total at big odds.
