Prime-Time First TD Bets — Monday Night Football, Week 16
Alex Christenson
The Buffalo Bills are the odds on favorites to win the Super Bowl this year. If they are going to get there, they will need another very productive year out of Josh Allen and his No.1 wide receiver, Stefon Diggs. Diggs has vaulted to one of the top receivers in the NFL since coming over to Buffalo, but can he help carry the Bills to promise land?
Let’s break down his season-long pros and see just how much of an impact he will make.

How Many Receiving Yards Will Stefon Diggs Have in 2022?
Under 1,200.5 (-115)
While Diggs has gone over this total in each of his first two seasons in Buffalo, there are multiple new wrinkles to the Bills offense that could temper his production the upcoming season. The first is the growing roles of Gabe Davis and Isaiah McKenzie. Davis announced his presence in the AFC playoffs last season when he caught four touchdowns against the Kansas City Chiefs in a monster performance. With Emmanuel Sanders and Cole Beasley gone, Davis is expected to take a big leap as the team’s No.2 wide receiver.
Along with Davis is Isaiah McKenzie. McKenzie is appearing to have cemented himself as the team’s No.3 wide receiver after having an excellent training camp. We also cannot forget about tight end Dawson Knox and rookie running back James Cook who was drafted in the third round as a pass-catching threat out of the backfield. With so many more mouths to feed this season, it is more likely that Diggs will go under his season-long yardage total.
How Many Touchdown Receptions Will Stefon Diggs Have in 2022?
Over 8.5 Receiving Touchdowns (-115)
Last season, Diggs set a career high with 10 touchdown receptions. He was also the second-most targeted wide receiver in the red zone, behind only Cooper Kupp. Diggs hauled in 20 of his 33 targets which gave him a 60.6% catch percentage. However, the Bills did not throw the ball that much in the red zone. The Bills as a team only had 122 targets in the red zone. Diggs got a whopping 27% of them, but now with the hype around the rest of the receiving corps, his season-long touchdown total is set at just 8.5. Given the target volume and expected increase in overall passing volume of the Bills offense, Diggs is a solid bet to go over this total.
How to Place a Bet on Stefon Diggs
Step 1: Set up a sports betting account
Setting up a sportsbook account is a simple process, and it would be wise to do so on as many as possible. All they need is some basic information, and then you’ll be ready to place your first wager in no time. It is essential to have multiple accounts to shop for odds and take advantage of all the free money books like to hand out to new users.
Step 2: Deposit money into your account
Essentially every book will have some kind of deposit bonus for you after you sign up. So be sure to weigh your options once your account is made.
Step 3: Make a Season-Long Futures Bet
These bets will hold the most value prior to the NFL season. So it is vital to get down as early as possible when making futures bets as the market can change rapidly. Say you like Stefon Diggs to go over his season-long touchdown total. A $100 bet would pay out $186.95 at the -115 odds on DraftKings Sportsbook.
