The Bucs have a 25.75-point implied total this week, which means that they’re projected to score at least three touchdowns. Los Angeles has a tough run defense and the Bucs pass at the highest rate in the league, so there’s a good chance that Evans will score at least one of those touchdowns.
The value is great at +125 for a player who has such high touchdown equity in an elite passing game. Fire up the anytime touchdown prop for Evans as our NFL bet of the day.

OVER 69.5 Receiving Yards (-115) at BetMGM
Wager: 1.15 Units
Mike Evans has totaled 80 or more receiving yards in four of his last six games. He’s taken on a larger role in this offense with Chris Godwin out for the season and Antonio Brown no longer with the team.
While there is some concern that he’ll have to deal with Rams’ cornerback Jalen Ramsey, who is one of the best in the league, Ramsey usually doesn’t shadow opposing wideouts, so we shouldn’t be too worried.

Evans has averaged eight targets per game in his last three. We can project similar volume in a game that projects to be close. If the Bucs fall behind, we would be in great shape for this Over, since Brady would have to air it out, resulting in more opportunities for Evans.
