This is a completely new bet that I’ve been exploring that is available on Draftkings, but I wanted to share it with my audience. One bet is for the team that scores the most points on Sunday, and the other bet is for the team that scores the least number of points on Sunday. This is found on the “Weekly Specials” section on Draftkings.
These are the current odds that are available right now:

I think the best long shot value is on Minnesota given Kirk Cousins’ documented struggles against elite defenses. I think the “safest” bet starts with Mike Glennon and how he handles Aaron Donald breathing down his neck. The Giants injuries on offense could potentially keep them from scoring double digits. I don’t see much value on Houston as the lowest. Indianapolis is coming off a devastating and potentially season-ending loss and have had problems in the secondary all year. I can’t see this demoralized Colts team completely locking anyone down as they have surrendered the league’s worst defensive passer rating.

As I highlighted in my analysis, the Chargers defense has been dismantled by strong running attacks. With Jackson’s big play/quick-strike ability, I can see Baltimore scoring into the high 30’s and potentially 40’s. I also think it will be necessary for them to continue to score, as the Chargers will probably hang close. I think there’s always potential for a blowout given how porous Detroit’s pass defense has been. Cincinnati could certainly be a team to capitalize on it. The Bengals have a ton of explosive play potential as evidenced by their 5th ranked yards per pass attempt.
Kansas City could certainly light it up, but I still think the Washington defense has talent on the defensive line that could at least partially slow Mahomes down. I don’t love the Rams as the highest scoring team of the week, mostly because I think if the game gets out of hand early, their urge to pile it on could limit their upside.
This is my first shot at this, so proceed with caution…. But I think it’s an interesting addition to the big picture on Sunday.
Good luck!
