NFL Odds Boosts To Watch: Monday Night Football | Ben Roethlisberger + Drew Lock | Week 1

Odds boosts are exactly that: Promotions from sportsbooks where they move tin your favor on certain bets. Many of them are prop bets, hoping you’ll put a few dollars on someone to hit a home run or a certain team to score a certain number of goals and still win. Our job is to highlight some of those odds boosts and give you some NBA picks, NFL picks or even NHL picks to bet on, if it’s smart to buy into what the sportsbooks are selling. We scour the internet trying to find the best odds boosts for you every day from every sport.

With no NBA on the docket, we will need to focus on the NFL for our odds boosts for this Monday. Even better, there are two games tonight, so there is plenty of NFL odds to choose from for our NFL picks. I’ll focus in on two of the starting quarterbacks for the pair of NFL contests, and how well they could perform tonight. All of these odds boosts can be found on OddsShopper, so let’s dive into what we found on Awesemo’s odds comparison tool today.

NFL Odds Boosts — Monday Night Football

NFL Odds: Ben Roethlisberger Throws 3+ Touchdowns (+220 DraftKings)

The Giants had one of the worst passing defenses in the NFL last season, and their gift is to face a fully-healthy Roethlisberger in the opener. It’s admittedly been awhile since Roethlisberger has had a strong start in the opener, but the last time the Steelers didn’t open with a rival or the defending Super Bowl champions was in 2016 when Roethlisberger threw for three touchdowns against Washington. Pittsburgh will certainly try to protect Roethlisberger and ease him back into the game, but I also expect the Steelers to try to send a message.

Pittsburgh’s offense really struggled last season, and there are many doubting whether Roethlisberger can return to his prior form. As a result, I think Mike Tomlin will open the playbook a little to let Roethlisberger show off his arm against this Giants secondary. Pittsburgh doesn’t have a lot of receiving weapons, but that might play to their advantage as the Giants will have to focus more on JuJu Smith-Schuster and open up the field for Roethlisberger to pick them apart.

NFL Odds: Drew Lock Throws 2+ Touchdowns (+125 PointsBet)

The Denver Broncos are going to open up the playbook for Lock in his first full season in charge of the offense, and it will be interesting to see how he reacts. The Titans were very much a bend-don’t-break defense last year against the pass, ranking in the bottom quarter in yards, but the top half in touchdowns allowed. So Lock will have his chances to feed Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy the ball in this game against the Tennessee defense.

The question is whether or not Lock can throw for two touchdowns in the game, something he accomplished in his first two starts but then didn’t in his final three. I expect the Broncos will try to get Melvin Gordon involved in the gameplan early, but that might include using him as a receiving option as well as on third downs. The added advantage of playing at home in altitude gives me another reason to believe that Lock can take a step in his second year in the league and toss two touchdowns in the opener.
