Mike Evans go off on Sunday Night Football when the Bucs host the Commanders in the Wildcard round of the NFL playoffs? Will Bucky Irving also have a big night for Tampa Bay? Read on for our Commanders vs. Bucs Same Game Parlay.
Commanders vs. Bucs Same Game Parlay: Bucky Irving over 89.5 Rushing Yards
Irving had an outstanding rookie season. Among 46 running backs with 100 or more runs this season, Irving finished first in yards after contact per run (4.03) and fifth in yards per carry (5.4). He finished with 1,122 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns, which led all rookie running backs.
Irving also gets a great matchup tonight against Washington. The Commanders have allowed 4.9 yards per carry to running backs, which ranks 30th in the league. They’ve also allowed 2.02 yards before contact on those runs, which is 31st in the NFL. In essence, this is the worst run defense in the postseason. When these two teams met in Week 1, the Tampa Bay backfield combined for 182 yards on 32 touches.
Commanders vs. Bucs Same Game Parlay: Jayden Daniels over 53.5 Rushing Yards
Daniels only rushed for 27 yards against the Cowboys last week, but he didn’t finish the game as Washington rested starters ahead of the playoffs. The last time he played in a full game was against the Falcons on Sunday Night Football in Week 17. In that game, he finished with 16 rush attempts for 127 yards. Toss out the partial game against the Cowboys and Daniels has gone over his rushing yards total in three straight games.
Even with their injuries, the Bucs have held up well down the stretch against opposing quarterbacks. That said, it might not matter. Daniels is having a sensational rookie season and running is a huge part of his game. I think his rushing prop total is slightly inflated but I don’t think it’ll matter.
Commanders vs. Bucs Same Game Parlay: Mike Evans over 5.5 Receptions
Evans caught nine-of-14 targets for 89 yards last Sunday against the Saints. He pushed past the 1,000-yard mark for the 11th consecutive season and received a nice bonus when Baker Mayfield got him the ball in the final moments of the Bucs’ victory. It was the perfect way to cap the season for Evans and the Bucs, who earned the NFC South Division crown for the fourth consecutive season. That’s despite losing both of their games to the Falcons, who imploded in November thanks in large part to the play of Kirk Cousins (who, ironically, torched the Bucs in both meetings between the division rivals this season).
I know Marshon Lattimore might play for the Commanders. Washington acquired Lattimore from New Orleans at the trade deadline to bolster a struggling secondary. He’s been banged up, but could return tonight. What a time for Lattimore to return too, as he’s familiar with Evans and the Bucs from his time in the NFC South. He and Evans hate each other and the two have literally exchanged “blows” during games.
Nonetheless, Evans caught nine passes against the Saints in Week 18 and eight passes versus the Panthers in Week 17. He was held to only five catches by the Cowboys in Week 16, but otherwise has caught at least six passes in three of his last four games. In fact, he’s averaged 6.86 receptions per game over his last 10 contests. Lattimore or no Lattimore, Evans figures to be a significant part of the Bucs’ passing game tonight.
