There is a value opportunity on Kenneth Walker III's receptions prop. THE BLITZ is projecting him to record 2.50 receptions, while sportsbooks imply 3.80. The model believes there is a 78% chance he records fewer than 3.5 receptions, so there is some value on the under at -146. This play is good down to at least -207. Love THE BLITZ?

We are starting the season by going all the way down the mineshaft on Monday Night Football. There are a lot of unknowns in this game, and almost all of them point toward suppressing the score. Patrick Mahomes is making his first start back from an ACL injury with no preseason reps, so we should expect some rust early. The Chiefs are also dealing with a major offensive line issue. Left tackle Josh Simmons is likely out with a back injury, meaning Kansas City is rolling out undrafted rookie Kahlil Benson and right tackle Jaylon Moore to fend off Nik Bonitto and this fearsome Denver pass rush. This is also not a great debut spot for Kenneth Walker against a Denver run defense that has been elite for the last two years. On the other side, new Broncos offensive coordinator Davis Webb has to work out the kinks of his new offensive scheme against an always-good Steve Spagnuolo defense in primetime. This division rivalry has been an under machine in recent years. The Broncos have covered four of the last five meetings after Kansas City won 16 straight, but more importantly, these teams have played six straight matchups that finished at 41 points or below, averaging just 33.7 points per game. This is the totals trend spot of the week. Non-Thursday primetime unders are hitting at 60% since 2019 (161-107-4). Monday night divisional unders with a total between 41 and 48 are hitting at 66% since 2018. Week 1 unders from 41 to 45.5 are an incredible 94-56-1 (63%). We also have double-digit winds forecasted, and windy unders have cashed at 61% over the last five years. Mahomes as a home favorite is 40-21-1 to the under in his career, including a 22-7 (76%) mark since 2022. It's not as exciting as we want Mahomes to be, but this is just what the Chiefs do in this spot — grind it out and hope to win a close one. Both of these teams played 11 games last year that finished at 43 points or below. The Chiefs had nine games finish at 37 or below, and Denver had seven at 33 or below. Let's go all the way down the mineshaft. https://www.actionnetwork.com/nfl/nfl-week-1-sunday-mega-preview-brandon-anderson-picks-props-same-game-parlays#8

2U POD💎, Coming off a +4.85U Weekend. Analysis on X/Tiktok @ Anderspicks… Sent this relatively early, though I didn’t really expect much CLV since I figured there would be some Broncos love, just didn’t wanna take the risk of it getting any more expensive. Should be able to get an even cheaper price at any exchange pretty easily

Action having issues with teasers so I’m adjusting manually. Paired w Houston +7.5
