Best bets for Sunday, November 8, 2026
Sunday's board for November 8 is all NFL, and it leans toward one kind of bet: low receiving lines on players the market seems to doubt. Four of the top ten are "over 1.5 receptions" bets, which means the player only has to catch two passes, and several of those are priced at plus money. The kickoffs run from a 9:30 AM ET start through the 4:25 PM ET window. One thing to keep in mind: every expected-profit figure below is a long-run average across many similar bets, not a forecast for this Sunday.
Darnell Mooney over 1.5 receptions (+165, BetRivers)
Our top pick asks for two Mooney catches, and BetRivers pays +165 for it. That means a $100 winner returns $165 in profit. The model puts the expected profit at +$18.07 per $100 based on 275 look-alike games. A price this long says the books think Mooney will more likely finish with one catch or none. In the look-alike games, receivers in similar spots cleared this low bar more often than that price suggests, so the market may be too low on him.
Jerry Jeudy over 1.5 receptions (+120, FanDuel)
This is the same bet on a different player. Two Jeudy catches pay +120 at FanDuel, for an expected profit of +$14.35 per $100 across 283 look-alike games. Jeudy shows up again further down the list, so the model likes his afternoon from more than one angle. When a line this low still pays plus money, the sportsbook is usually pricing in a quiet day. The past games suggest quiet days are less common than that.
Austin Hooper over 6.5 receiving yards (-110, DraftKings)
The earliest game of the day, at 9:30 AM ET, gives us Hooper needing just seven receiving yards at DraftKings for -110. That works out to +$10.94 per $100 over 148 look-alike games. That's a smaller sample than the two picks above, so there's more uncertainty here. The idea is simple: one ordinary catch could clear it, and the standard price may not fully account for that.
The rest of the list keeps the theme going. Jeudy over 14.5 receiving yards (-112, DraftKings, +$7.14, 376 games) pairs with his catches bet, and Marquise Brown over 1.5 receptions (-110, +$7.61, 261 games) and Tank Dell over 1.5 receptions (+126, DraftKings, +$7.41, 628 games) are the same low-bar bet again. Dell's has the deepest sample on the board. Note that Brown's DraftKings price is assumed rather than confirmed, so check it before treating that number as real. On the other side, Tyler Allgeier under 2.5 receptions (+116, FanDuel, +$10.03) and George Kittle under 5.5 receptions (+120, BetMGM, +$8.52) bet on fewer catches. Alvin Kamara over 25.5 rushing yards (-112, DraftKings, +$5.38) and Travis Kelce over 4.5 receptions (+116, FanDuel, +$7.03) round out the ten. Kamara is listed fifth even though his expected profit is lower than several picks below him, so don't read the order as a strict ranking by that one number. Prices move during the week, and even a positive edge loses on plenty of Sundays.
