Watch: Episode 10 of Should've Bet That

The Bet: Christian Watson 2+ TDs (+2800)

Watson exploded out of nowhere for not one, not two but three touchdowns in the Packers' big win against the Cowboys. This performance seemingly came out of nowhere - his 107 yards were more than he had in six games combined prior to this week.

Watson had never caught a touchdown prior to this week either - so is this turning point a sign of things to come? We aren't sure, as Romeo Doubs and Allen Lazard are just as likely to have a big day any given week.

The Bet: Justin Fields OVER 62.5 Rushing Yards (-110)

Justin Fields is showing shades of Michael Vick in the early 2000s, as he has become unstoppable on the ground and the Bears look more and more comfortable featuring him. Fields now bas back to back weeks with 147 yards or more rushing, and he doesn't show signs of stopping.

In the last five games, Fields has rushed for more yards than any quarterback in NFL history during a five-game span. Until it stops, we have to feel comfortable betting Fields to go Over his listed rushing total week in and week out.

The Bet: Jonathan Taylor Anytime TD (+105)

What's the best way for a new head coach to make his presence known? Get the ball back in the hands of the team's best player. Jeff Saturday did that with Taylor on Sunday, marking Taylor's first rushing TD since the opening week of the season.

It would be wise for Saturday to continue this approach, and while Taylor as a plus-money TD scorer likely won't continue for long, it's worth monitoring and tailing next week.
