BEST SNF PROP WEEK 3: KIRK COUSINS OVER 1.5 PASSING TDS(+126)

Kirk Cousins is finally back and looking like his old self before the Achilles Heel injury he sustained last season. After a rough first game of the season against the Steelers he got back on track in a big way coming away with the 22-21 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. After a subpar first half, Cousins turned it up in the second half of that game.

• Cousins finished the game against the Eagles in Week 2 with 241 yards and 2 touchdowns.
• In 8 games last season before season-ending injury, Cousins recorded 2+ touchdowns in 7 of those 8 games

While the Chiefs' defense has been stout so far this season, Cousins playing at home and finally syncing with his new teammates this could be his breakout performance in his new uniform. Look for Cousins to light up this Chiefs' secondary as surpasses this 1.5 touchdown mark on Sunday night.

BEST SNF PROP WEEK 3: KYLE PITTS ANYTIME TOUCHDOWN SCORER (+220)

Everyone has been waiting for that breakout performance from Kyle Pitts and it has yet to happen. However, this could be the game where he can finally flex on the defense and show what his capabilities really are against the Kansas City Chiefs.

• Through two weeks, Kyle Pitts has 6 catches for 46 yards and 1 touchdown.
• The Kansas City Chiefs have given up 21 catches, 244 yards, and 1 touchdown to opposing tight ends through two weeks.

We know that the Falcons are trying to get Pitts more involved in the offense than he has been in years past but going against two stout defenses like the Eagles and Steelers didn't do him any favors. However, now getting a very favorable matchup at home he has the chance to show out.

His frame (6'6") and exceptional speed (4.44 40-yard dash) make him a dangerous red zone threat. He should be targeted a ton in this matchup from Kirk Cousins as they look to score the upset in this Sunday Night Football matchup.

BEST SNF PROP WEEK 3: CARSON STEELE 100+ RUSHING YARDS (+870)

Carson Steele now has his chance to run away with the starting job after Isiah Pacheco suffered an injury in last week's win against Cincinnati. He has a prime matchup against the Falcons who have the 5th worst rushing defense in the league through 2 weeks.

• The Atlanta Falcons give up 161.5 rushing yards per game.
• The Falcons allowed the Philadelphia Eagles to rack up 186 yards on the ground in their Week 2 victory.
• Carson Steele had 14 games where he rushed for 100+ yards during his time in college at Ball State and UCLA.

This could be a game where they lean on the run to open up the passing game for Patrick Mahomes and his weapons Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, and Travis Kelce. Don't expect a primetime game shootout between these two as both teams have been more prevalent leaning on the run and more will happen in this game as well.

Look for Steele to have himself a breakout performance putting himself on the map and running away with this opportunity on Sunday night.
