• Bet on Cooper Kupp to go OVER 54.5 receiving yards (-109) against the Browns: In a likely closer game than last week’s big win, the Rams' passing attack should be more involved. And with Kupp practicing fully this week and Matthew Stafford being relatively healthy, this line is low for the wideout.
• Bet on David Montgomery as an anytime TD scorer (-130): Detroit is likely to control possession, so there will be good opportunities at the Saints' end of the field.

Cleveland Browns @ Los Angeles Rams — Cooper Kupp Over 54.5 Receiving Yards (-109 Caesars)
Cooper Kupp‘s injury woes have left him nowhere near as impactful this season, but the circumstances have often been against him. He blasted his way back into the team with back-to-back 100-yard games before doing very little in his next five outings, putting up a maximum of 48 yards in any of those games.
Puka Nacua stole the show in Kupp’s third game back, and then starting quarterback Matthew Stafford got injured and left a significant hole in the offense. Kupp soon picked up an ankle injury that kept him out for more than 70% of the game, which meant he was limited in practice the next week. He played 88% of snaps the week after that injury, but the Rams were up 21-8 at halftime and ran the ball a lot as a result.
In a likely closer game than last week’s big win, the Rams' passing attack should be more involved. And with Kupp practicing fully this week and Stafford being relatively healthy, this line is very low for a player who has already proven he still brings elite upside.
Detroit Lions @ New Orleans Saints — David Montgomery Anytime TD (-130 FanDuel)
The Saints have a wide receiver problem. Michael Thomas is on injured reserve, Rashid Shaheed has been ruled out with a thigh injury and Chris Olave suffered a concussion last week but is expected to play.
The Lions' defense has been solid all year and should feast against a wide receiver group of A.T. Perry, Keith Kirkwood and Lynn Bowden. Expect to see the Lions have the ball for large periods of this game. Jahmyr Gibbs has taken on an increased role in this offense since David Montgomery missed time with an injury earlier in the season, but Montgomery is still very much the red-zone and goal-line option.
In a game in which Detroit is likely to control possession, there will be good opportunities at the Saints' end of the field. This line should be closer to -180 than the current -130.
