San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle SCORES A TOUCHDOWN (+125)
– At Rams, 4:05 p.m. (FOX)
Kittle hasn’t historically been a big TD scorer, but he has been against the Rams. He has scored touchdowns in 5 of his last 7 games against them and has a TD in the last 2 games at Los Angeles.
The 49ers offense came out strong in Week 1 — 30-7 win at Pittsburgh — and when San Francisco gets close to the goal line, Kittle is typically the No. 1 receiving option.

Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson OVER 55.5 rushing yards (-115)
– Host Packers, 1 p.m. (FOX).
Robinson topped this number in Week 1 despite having just 10 carries (for 56 yards). With the expectation that the rookie out of Texas is going to be a primary rushing/receiving threat for the Falcons out of the backfield, there’s no reason to think his rushing attempts will go down.
The Falcons have built an offense around running 30 or more times a game. If Robinson gets half of that workload, this O/U is well too low.
Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown UNDER 6.5 receptions (-120)
– Host Seahawks, 1 p.m. (FOX).
St. Brown has been a reception machine in Detroit, but it was primarily because the Lions didn’t have a lot of complementary weapons. That has changed considerably as alternate options were selected in the draft and added in free agency.
With a requirement of 7 receptions, that is a lot to ask of any receiver — even one as prolific as St. Brown.
Buffalo Bills WR Stefon Diggs OVER 75.5 receiving yards (-120)
– Host Raiders, 1 p.m. (CBS).
Diggs is the primary option in the passing game every week. Despite losing to the Jets in Week 1, Diggs caught 10 passes for 102 yards and a touchdown.
The Jets secondary is considerably better than the Raiders and Buffalo needs a win to get their season back on track. Typically, when it comes to the Bills ending a losing skid, Diggs is the primary focus of the pass offense and likely will be critical to the play calling Sunday.
Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (OVER) 79.5 rushing yards (-115)
– At Steelers, Monday 8:15 p.m. (ABC)
Chubb has been one of the most dominant backs in the league in terms of carries per game. With Kareem Hunt no longer in the picture to snipe carries away from him, Chubb is likely going to a player with 20 or more carries per game.
Chubb rushed 35 times for 190 yards in 2 games vs. the Steelers last season. He rushed 18 times for 106 yards against a stout Bengals defense in last week’s opening win. If he gets that same number of carries this week, it will be very difficult to keep him under this number.
