MNF best bets — ATS & totals

Bills @ Falcons — Over 50

  • Why: Indoors pace + two offenses comfortable in quick game; explosive pass windows vs single-high create chunk chances.
  • Buy/Sell: Buy ≤ 50; pass at 51 without OL/WR upgrades.

Bears @ Commanders — Commanders −5

  • Why: Washington trench edge and early-down pass rate stress Chicago’s back seven; WR room health supports sustained drives.
  • Buy/Sell: Buy ≤ −5; sell at −6 unless injury/inactives tilt strongly toward WAS.

Cross-game parlay (ties both MNF matchups)

  • 🟪 Bills–Falcons Over 49.5 (alt)
  • 🟪 Commanders −3.5 (alt)

Correlation: Indoor pace boosts BUF–ATL scoring while Washington’s pass rate and WR usage create paths to a one-score cover at reduced juice. Shop alt numbers across books for best price.

Trends & angles that matter

  • Alt totals around 49–50 have been key battlegrounds in dome games with two competent QBs.
  • When Washington’s early-down pass rate spikes, second-half pace and total plays rise.
  • Favorites in the −3.5 to −5.5 band show rapid buyback zones near 6; monitor for late tax.
